Patrick Ness
Knowledge is dangerous. ~pg 53
Patrick Ness
A man is capable of thought. A crowd is not.

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
Teenagers are the greatest readers in the world - honest, unsnobby and loyal
Patrick Ness
People see stories everywhere...We take random events and we put them together in a pattern so we can comfort ourselves with a story, no matter how much it obviously isn't true...We have to lie to ourselves to live. Otherwise, we'd go crazy.
Patrick Ness
I think maybe everyone falls... I think the asking is whether we get back up again.

Patrick Ness

Patrick Ness

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