There are those who labor in the darkness, that the rest of us might live in the light.
Rick Yancey
Some things you can never leave behind. They don't belong to the past. They belong to you.
Rick Yancey
The kid who didn't go back when he should have and now goes back when he shouldn't. The kid called Zombie, who made a promise, and if he breaks that promise, the war is over - not the big war, but the war that matters, the one in the battlefield of his heart. Because promises matter. They matter now more than ever.
Rick Yancey
And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.

Rick Yancey
In every creepy movie ever made, the barn is the prime nesting ground for the things you don't know you're looking for and always regret finding.
Rick Yancey
Prayers and promises. The one his sister made to him. The unspoken one I made to my sister. Prayers are promises, too, and these are the days of broken promises.
Rick Yancey
You are the nest. You are the hatchling. You are the chrysalis. You are the progeny. You are the rot that falls from stars. You may not understand what I mean. You will.
Rick Yancey
His heart, the war. Her face, the battlefield.
Rick Yancey
When you look death in the eye and death blinks first, nothing seems impossible.
Rick Yancey
I am a shark, Cassie, he says slowly, drawing the words out, as if he might be speaking to me for the last time. Looking into my eyes with tears in his, as if he's seeing me for the last time. A shark who dreamed he was a man.
Rick Yancey
The minute we decide that one person doesn´t matter anymore, they´ve won.
Rick Yancey
If the world breaks a million and one promises, can you trust the million and second?
