Flakes of white fall thru the trees and onto the road, catching on our clothes and hair. It's a silent fall and it's weird how it makes everything else seem quiet, too, like it's trying to tell you a secret, a terrible, terrible secret.
Patrick Ness
Her accent's funny, different from mine, different from anyone in Prentisstown's. Her lips make different kinds of outlines for the letters, like they're swooping down on them from above, pushing them into shape, telling them what to say. In Prentisstown, everyone talks like they're sneaking up on their words, ready to club them from behind.
Patrick Ness
...the lesson of forever and ever is that knowing a man's mind ain't knowing the man.

Life ain't fair. It ain't. Not never.
Patrick Ness
Guessing a thing ain't knowing a thing.
Patrick Ness
We all fall but that's not what matters. What matters is picking yourself up again.
Patrick Ness
Me and Todd? Together against the Mayor? She smiles. He doesn't stand a chance.
Patrick Ness
Schooling ain't life. Ain't it? she says, her eyebrows raising in mock surprise.
