Patrick Ness
Me and Todd? Together against the Mayor? She smiles. He doesn't stand a chance.
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
Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.
Patrick Ness
How do you know yer alive if you don't hurt?
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

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

Patrick Ness
Then at the top of the hill, the road forks. Which just figures. You gotta be kidding. I say. One part of the road goes left, the other goes right. (Well, it's a Fork ain't it?)
Patrick Ness
Yer the only friend I got, pigpiss... Ain't that the biggest tragedy you ever heard?
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
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
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
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
