Nix still held Benny's hand, and her grip tightened to an almost crushing force, grinding his hand bones together.

It’s easier to be a character in a story than the star of your own tragedy.
Jonathan Maberry
There was a sliver of moon and a splash of stars, and the light outlined her face and glistened on the tears that ran like mercury down her cheeks.
Jonathan Maberry
She wept for the hurt that he owned, a hurt she could never hope to remove.
Jonathan Maberry
It's just that I'm fifteen, and I have this crazy idea I might actually have a life in front of me. I don't see how it's going to do me much good to believe that the world is over and this is just an epilogue.
Jonathan Maberry
Often it was the most unlikely people who found within themselves a spark of something greater. It was probably always there, but most people are never tested, and they go through their whole lives without ever knowing that when things are at their worst, they are at their best.
Jonathan Maberry
The whole world turned into an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Chong said, 'Do yourself a favor, Morg. Next time you're staring at a girl's boobs, look up. You'll be shocked to learn it, but there's going to be a face up there. Nose, mouth, eyes. And behind the eyes is an actual person.

I've managed to stay alive out here in the Ruin because I'm a realist. I allow the truth to be the truth, no matter how much I might want it to be something else.
