Stories don’t always have happy endings.
Patrick Ness

Stories don't always have happy endings. This stopped him. Because they didn't, did they? That's one thing the monster had definitely taught him. Stories were wild, wild animals and went off in directions you couldn't expect.
Patrick Ness
Belief is half of all healing. Belief in the cure, belief in the future that awaits.
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
The only place you belong is the place you can never go back. And so yer always alone, forever and always.
Patrick Ness
Stories were wild, wild animals and went off in directions you couldn't expect.
Patrick Ness
But,' he thinks, 'it's possible to die before you die.
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
A book cannot apologize for what people may think it should be. It has to be authoritative.
