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
We all fall but that's not what matters. What matters is picking yourself up again.
Patrick Ness
What a sad thing men are. Can’t do nothing good without being so weak we have to mess it up. Can’t build something up without tearing it down.
Patrick Ness
And it’s a sad song, Todd, but it’s also a promise. I’ll never deceive you and I’ll never leave you and I promise you this so you can one day promise it to others and know that it’s true.
Patrick Ness
But, somehow, Wilf knows. Somehow, Wilf always knows.
Patrick Ness
When luck ain't with you it's against you. ~pg 92
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
Knowledge is dangerous. ~pg 53
Patrick Ness
I'll find you- Keep calling for me, Viola- Cuz here I come.
Patrick Ness
We can save the world, I say, trying to smile. You and me.
Patrick Ness
If a crowd can flinch, they flinch. More than a thousand men flinch under the fist of just one. I don't see what the women do.
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 blows out a thoughtful air. My dad used to say, 'There's only forward, Vi, only outward and up.' There's only forward, I repeat. Outward and up, she says.
Patrick Ness
...and I have this stupid little thought that Aaron didn't survive the croc attack after all, that he died but he's so pissed off at me that dying didn't stop him from coming here to kill me anyway.
Patrick Ness
How do you know yer alive if you don't hurt?
Patrick Ness
You can eff off, too, I say, except I don't say eff, I say what 'eff' stands for.
Patrick Ness
That's what I want as a reader - I want to be confident that the book will do its job.
Patrick Ness
No one ever seems to wonder what happens if it turns out we hate living on a planet? What if the sky’s too big? What if the air stinks? What if we go hungry?’ ‘And what if the air tastes of honey? What if there’s so much food we all get too fat? What if the sky is so beautiful we don’t get any work done because we’re all looking at it too much?
Patrick Ness
You're never more alive than in battle. Never more dead after, I say.
Patrick Ness
Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.
Patrick Ness
You tell a man the truth about himself and, well, they find they have trouble accepting it.
Patrick Ness
