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
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
Miss Marks, you see, makes her living by...entertaining young, and not so young, sailors...or any other members of the armed forced, or civilians, who enjoy...being entertained by ladies who...entertain.
Rick Yancey
Some things you can never leave behind. They don't belong to the past. They belong to you.
Rick Yancey
Still, you tend to believe what you always believed, think what you always thought, expect what you always expected

Tampons. I’m constantly worrying about my stash and if I’ll be able to find more.
Rick Yancey
And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.
