More quotes by 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
A knife is only as good as the one who wields it.

That's what librarians do. They open up the world. Because knowledge is useless if you don’t know how to find it, if you don’t even know where to begin to look.
Patrick Ness
Men do monstrous things but if you call a man a monster you have absolved yourself of blame. You don't have to think that you might ever do these things. I don't think that's true
Patrick Ness

Librarians open up the world. Knowledge is useless if you don't even know where to begin to look.

This is what librarians do.
Patrick Ness

Patrick Ness
And I look at her sitting there and she looks across the river and we wait as the dawn fully arrives, each of us knowing. Each of us knowing the other.
Patrick Ness
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
...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
Life ain't fair. It ain't. Not never.
Patrick Ness
Yer the only friend I got, pigpiss... Ain't that the biggest tragedy you ever heard?
Patrick Ness
We sure as ruddy heck ain't in Prentisstown no more, I say to Manchee under my breath.
Patrick Ness
You can't say everything, so you don't say nothing.
Patrick Ness
Poo Manchee barks quielty to himself. Poo, poo, poo. Just have yer stupid poo and quit yapping about it.
