More quotes by Patrick Ness
You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.
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.

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

Patrick Ness
And it’s a sad song, Todd, but it’s also a promise. I’ll never deceive you and I’ll never leave you and I promise you this so you can one day promise it to others and know that it’s true.
Patrick Ness
I think maybe everyone falls... I think the asking is whether we get back up again.
Patrick Ness
To live is to fight, to preserve life is to fight everything that man stands for.
Patrick Ness
He was still alive. Which was the worst thing that could have happened.
Patrick Ness
Being a leader is making the people you love hate you a little more each day.
Patrick Ness
This is how we are protecting you, by getting you out.
Patrick Ness
That's the thing I'm learning about being thrown out on yer own. Nobody does nothing for you. If you don't change it, it don't get changed.
Patrick Ness
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
HERE It’s- Can I say? It’s like the song of a family where everything’s always all right, it’s a song of belonging that makes you belong just by hearing it, it’s a song that’ll always take care of you and never leave you. If you have a heart, it breaks, if you have a heart that’s broken, it fixes.
Patrick Ness
Stories don’t always have happy endings.
Patrick Ness
Poo Manchee barks quielty to himself. Poo, poo, poo. Just have yer stupid poo and quit yapping about it.
Patrick Ness
We can save the world, I say, trying to smile. You and me.
Patrick Ness
You're never more alive than in battle. Never more dead after, I say.
