Dean Koontz
“Lem felt sick, not merely because of what had happened to Wes Dalberg but because of all the deaths yet to come. He was proud of both his management and investigatory skills, and he knew he could handle this case better than anyone else. But he was also a hardheaded pragmatist, incapable of underestimating the enemy or of pretending there would be a quick ending to this nightmare. He would need time and patience and luck to track down the killer, and meanwhile more bodies would pile up.”
Dean Koontz, Watchers

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“I do not have a problem with people killing themselves, as long as they took at least a hundred years to think about what they are about to do.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
