More quotes by Rick Yancey
There are things that are too terrible to remember, and there are things that are almost too wonderful to recall.
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
God doesn't call the equipped, son. God equips the called. And you have been called.
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
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
It's hard to plan for what comes next when what comes next is not something you planned for.
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
He spreads his fingers over my heart, like he’s holding it, like it belongs to him, the hard-fought-for territory he’s won fair and square.
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
The world is a clock winding down.
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
Tampons. I’m constantly worrying about my stash and if I’ll be able to find more.
Rick Yancey
Good God, man, what is that smell? He eyed with disgust the doctor's filthy cloak. Life, answered the doctor.
Rick Yancey
A man lies upon the floor, spreads his arms, and transforms himself into a ship of a thousand sails.
Rick Yancey
I am the one, Not Running, Not Staying, But FACING
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
And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.
Rick Yancey
I stare at her. I've always known that it's impossible to argue with Belinda, not because she's particularly good at it, but because she's so bad at it- that there is no common ground to work from. She simply sees the world she wants to see it and no amount of logic can change her mind.
Rick Yancey
I brought Sammy inside and put him to bed. Said his prayer with him. “‘Now I lay me down to sleep…’” To me, just random noise. Gibberish. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was, but I felt that, when it came to God, there was a broken promise in there somewhere.
Rick Yancey
Some things you can never leave behind. They don't belong to the past. They belong to you.
