Rick Yancey
It was the price of survival. The cost of his people's last, desperate gamble: To rid his new home of humanity, he had to become human. And being human, he had to overcome his humanity.
Rick Yancey
God doesn't call the equipped, son. God equips the called. And you have been called.

He asks me what happened to my leg. I told him I was shot by a shark. He doesn't react. Doesn't seem confused or amused or anything. Like getting shot by a shark is a perfectly natural thing in the aftermath of the arrival.
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.

I am the one, Not Running, Not Staying, But FACING
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.

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
Are you okay? I (Cassie) call up to him. Um. Define okay. (Ben) Okay means you're not bleeding to death. I'm okay.

And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.
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.

Tampons. I’m constantly worrying about my stash and if I’ll be able to find more.
Rick Yancey
When I woke up in you, Cassie. I wasn't fully human until I saw myself in your eyes. And then there are real human tears in his real human eyes, and it's my turn to hold him while his heart breaks. My turn to see myself in his eyes.
