Stories don't always have happy endings. This stopped him. Because they didn't, did they? That's one thing the monster had definitely taught him. Stories were wild, wild animals and went off in directions you couldn't expect.

More quotes by Patrick Ness
Life ain't fair. It ain't. Not never.
Patrick Ness
I'll do it, Todd, I whisper. I'll come with you. And he doesn't say anything, just squeezes my hand harder and brings it up to his face like he wants to breathe me in.
Patrick Ness
Know yourself and go in swinging.
Patrick Ness
Doing what's right should be easy. It shouldn't be just another big mess like everything else.
Patrick Ness

Here is the boy, drowning.
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

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
You tell a man the truth about himself and, well, they find they have trouble accepting it.
Patrick Ness

Patrick Ness
A book cannot apologize for what people may think it should be. It has to be authoritative.
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
But, somehow, Wilf knows. Somehow, Wilf always knows.
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
Stories are the wildest things of all. Stories chase and bite and hunt.
Patrick Ness
Me and Todd? Together against the Mayor? She smiles. He doesn't stand a chance.
Patrick Ness
A knife is only as good as the one who wields it.
Patrick Ness
In this world of numbness and information overload, the ability to feel, my boy, is a rare gift indeed.
Patrick Ness
Life equals running and when we stop running maybe that's how we'll know life is finally finished.
Patrick Ness
