More quotes by Patrick Ness
The justifications of men who kill should always be heard with skepticism, said the monster.
Patrick Ness
You said we all want there to be more than this! Well, there's always more than this. There's always something you don't know.
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
Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.
Patrick Ness
Life equals running and when we stop running maybe that's how we'll know life is finally finished.
Patrick Ness
That's what librarians do. They open up the world. Because knowledge is useless if you don’t know how to find it, if you don’t even know where to begin to look.
Patrick Ness
Faith with proof is no faith at all.
Patrick Ness
I think maybe everyone falls... I think the asking is whether we get back up again.
Patrick Ness
War makes monsters of men, you once said to me Todd. Well, so does too much knowledge. Too much knowledge of your fellow man, too much knowledge of his weakness, his pathetic greed and vanity, and how laughably easy it is to control him.
Patrick Ness
Belief is half of all healing. Belief in the cure, belief in the future that awaits.
Patrick Ness
A knife is only as good as the one who wields it.
Patrick Ness
Your mind will believe comforting lies while also knowing the painful truths that make those lies necessary. And your mind will punish you for believing both.
Patrick Ness
Life ain't fair. It ain't. Not never. It's pointless and stupid and there's only suffering and pain and people who want to hurt you. You can't love nothing or no one cuz it'll all be taken away or ruined and you'll be left alone and constantly having to fight, constantly having to run just to stay alive.
Patrick Ness
I was only following orders, the Mayor mocks. The refuge of scoundrels since the dawn of time.
Patrick Ness
Men do monstrous things but if you call a man a monster you have absolved yourself of blame. You don't have to think that you might ever do these things. I don't think that's true
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
And here was a man who lived on belief, but who sacrificed it at the first challenge, right when he needed it most
Patrick Ness
Whereas the town knows all about you already and wants to know more and wants to beat you with what it knows till how can you have any of yourself left at all?
Patrick Ness
Viola? Keep calling for me– And I’ll keep searching for you– And I’ll find you– You bet yer life on it– I’ll find you– Keep calling for me, Viola– Cuz here I come.
