I thank all that is good that there is Dean Koontz to sustain my soul, in a world where nihilism, cynicism and contempt are held to be the apex of success.
"The world belongs however, to those can who look at the glass and say: "What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was bigger!" - Terry Pratchett, The Truth'
