His heart, the war. Her face, the battlefield.
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.

The kid who didn't go back when he should have and now goes back when he shouldn't. The kid called Zombie, who made a promise, and if he breaks that promise, the war is over - not the big war, but the war that matters, the one in the battlefield of his heart. Because promises matter. They matter now more than ever.

Rick Yancey
I had it all wrong, he says. Before I found you, I thought the only way to hold on was to find something to live for. It isn't. To hold on, you have to find something you're willing to die for.
Rick Yancey
Because promises matter. They matter now more than ever.
Rick Yancey
Still, you tend to believe what you always believed, think what you always thought, expect what you always expected
Rick Yancey
And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.
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
Tampons. I’m constantly worrying about my stash and if I’ll be able to find more.
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
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
Why did they come billions of miles just to stare at us? It's rude.
