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.

More quotes by 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
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
Maybe you reach a certain point in evolution where boredom is the greatest threat to your survival. Maybe this isn't a planetary takeover at all, but a game. Like a kid pulling wings off flies.
Rick Yancey
Still, you tend to believe what you always believed, think what you always thought, expect what you always expected
Rick Yancey
When I wake up the next morning, there's a Hershey's Kiss sitting on the table beside me.
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 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
Are you okay? I (Cassie) call up to him. Um. Define okay. (Ben) Okay means you're not bleeding to death. I'm okay.
Rick Yancey
The doctor frowned upon drinking and often expressed wonderment at men who willingly made imbeciles of themselves.
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
I am the one, Not Running, Not Staying, But FACING
Rick Yancey
It isn't up to me to break his heart that's time's job.
Rick Yancey
Climb onto my shoulders. I will not let you fall.
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
I don't care what the stars say about how small we are. One, even the smallest, weakest, most insignificant one, matters.
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
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
A man lies upon the floor, spreads his arms, and transforms himself into a ship of a thousand sails.
Rick Yancey
Some things you don't have to promise. You just do.
