More quotes by 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
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
There's the bullshit you know that you know the bullshit you don't know and know you don't know and the bullshit you just think you know but really don't.
Rick Yancey
Maybe the last human being on Earth won't die of starvation or exposure or as a meal of wild animals. Maybe the last one to die will be killed by the last one alive.
Rick Yancey
When I wake up the next morning, there's a Hershey's Kiss sitting on the table beside me.
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

Rick Yancey
It isn't up to me to break his heart that's time's job.
Rick Yancey

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
A man lies upon the floor, spreads his arms, and transforms himself into a ship of a thousand sails.
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
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
If the world breaks a million and one promises, can you trust the million and second?
Rick Yancey
I don't move. I wait behind my log, terrified. Over the past ten minutes, it's become such a dear friend, I consider naming it: Howard, my pet log.
Rick Yancey
We'd stared into the face of Death, and Death blinked first. You'd think that would make us feel brave and invincible. It didn't.
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.
Rick Yancey
There are those who labor in the darkness, that the rest of us might live in the light.
Rick Yancey
Perhaps God waits for us to be empty, so he may fill us with himself.
Rick Yancey
Climb onto my shoulders. I will not let you fall.
