More quotes by Rick Yancey
Why did they come billions of miles just to stare at us? It's rude.
Rick Yancey
Some things you don't have to promise. You just do.
Rick Yancey
Please, do not leave me, Will Henry. I would not survive it. You were nearly right. What Mr. Kendall was, I am always on the brink of becoming. And you - I do not pretend to know how or even why - but you pull me back from the precipice. You are the one... You are the one thing that keeps me Human.
Rick Yancey
I was a slave to something he believed to be silly and superstitious: the idea that all life was worth defending and that nothing justified surrender to the forces of destruction.
Rick Yancey
If I had faced it then, I wouldn't be facing it now, but sooner or later you have to choose between running and facing the thing you thought you could not face.
Rick Yancey
What boy my age didn’t dream of fleeing the well-tended lawn and lamp-lit street for the untamed wilderness, where grand adventure awaited on the other side of the horizon, where the stars burned undimmed in the velvet sky above his head and the virgin ground lay untrodden beneath his feet?
Rick Yancey
I will teach you to love death. I will empty you of grief and guilt and self-pity and fill you up with hate and cunning and the spirit of vengeance. I will make my final stand here, Benjamin Thomas Parish.
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
There are things that are too terrible to remember, and there are things that are almost too wonderful to recall.
Rick Yancey
Climb onto my shoulders. I will not let you fall.
Rick Yancey
I am the one, Not Running, Not Staying, But FACING
Rick Yancey
The world is a clock winding down.
Rick Yancey
When the moment comes to stop running from your past, to turn around and face the thing you thought you could not face--the moment when your life teeters between giving up and getting up--when that moment comes, and it always comes, if you can't get up and you can't give up either, here's what you do: Crawl.
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
I didn't show up here to give your life purpose now that your life's over. That's up to you to figure out.
Rick Yancey
I have a very low tolerance for boredom and often think I would have missed out on books entirely if Id grown up in the Internet and video game age. Now I enjoy books for people of all ages, including children.
Rick Yancey
You know how sometimes you tell yourself that you have a choice, but really you don't have a choice? Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean they apply to you.
Rick Yancey
You can’t force yourself to trust. So you put all your doubts in a little box and bury it deep and then try to forget where you buried it
Rick Yancey
There are times when fear is not our enemy. There are times when fear is our truest, sometimes only, friend.
Rick Yancey
Great sci-fi has never shied from tackling the Big Questions, though really great sci-fi never forgets to entertain us along the way. Shock and awe applies to art, as well.
