Dean Koontz Frasi e Citazioni

“A volte Spencer pensava che il cane, avendo dovuto sopportare una vita terribile fino a due anni prima e avendo ottimi motivi per non considerare un gran che la condizione canina in questo mondo, avesse deciso di diventare un essere umano. Grosso errore. Era più probabile che fossero gli uomini a vivere una vita da cani, in senso negativo, di quanto accadesse alla maggioranza dei cani stessi. «Una maggiore consapevolezza» aveva spiegato a Rocky una notte in cui non riusciva a prendere sonno, «non rende più serena una specie, amico mio. Se le cose stessero così, noi umani avremmo meno psichiatri e meno bar di voi cani, ti pare?»”
