Know yourself and go in swinging, if it hurts when you hit, it might be real, too.
Patrick Ness
Librarians open up the world. Knowledge is useless if you don't even know where to begin to look. How much more can you discover when someone can point you in the right direction, when someone can maybe even give you a treasure map, to places you may not have even thought you were allowed to go? This is what librarians do.
Patrick Ness
People say they want freedom, but what they really want is freedom from worry. If I take care of their problems, they don't mind being told what to do.
Patrick Ness
Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.
Patrick Ness
People see stories everywhere...We take random events and we put them together in a pattern so we can comfort ourselves with a story, no matter how much it obviously isn't true...We have to lie to ourselves to live. Otherwise, we'd go crazy.

Patrick Ness
And then a low and powerful sound rumbles thru the sky, like some giant, deep horn. A sound God would make when he wanted yer attenshun.
Patrick Ness
I'll find you- Keep calling for me, Viola- Cuz here I come.
Patrick Ness
Hope may be the thing that pulls you forward, may be the thing that keeps you going, but that it's dangerous, that it's painful and risky, that it's making a dare in the world and when has the world ever let us win a dare?
Patrick Ness
You can eff off, too, I say, except I don't say eff, I say what 'eff' stands for.
Patrick Ness
And the pain is too much it's too much it's too much and my hands are on my head and I'm rearing back and my mouth is open in a never-ending wordless wail of all the blackness that's inside me. And i fall back into it.
Patrick Ness
HERE It’s- Can I say? It’s like the song of a family where everything’s always all right, it’s a song of belonging that makes you belong just by hearing it, it’s a song that’ll always take care of you and never leave you. If you have a heart, it breaks, if you have a heart that’s broken, it fixes.
Patrick Ness
The only place you belong is the place you can never go back. And so yer always alone, forever and always.
Patrick Ness
We can save the world, I say, trying to smile. You and me.
Patrick Ness
There ain't nothing good that don't got real bad waiting to follow it.
