Knowledge is dangerous. ~pg 53
Patrick Ness
Choices may be unbelievably hard but they're never impossible. To say you have no choice is to release yourself from responsibility and that's not how a person with integrity acts.
Patrick Ness
As destruction goes, the monster said behind him, this is all remarkably pitiful.
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
The only place you belong is the place you can never go back. And so yer always alone, forever and always.
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
Stories don’t end with the writers, however many started the race.
Patrick Ness
Do you not wonder sometimes, she showed now, sadly, if in some ways they are correct? That we are asking too much of the world?No, he said. They're the ones who are asking for too little.
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
How do you know yer alive if you don't hurt?
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.
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
A knife is only as good as the one who wields it.
Patrick Ness
We sure as ruddy heck ain't in Prentisstown no more, I say to Manchee under my breath.
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.
