Rick Yancey

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
When you look death in the eye and death blinks first, nothing seems impossible.
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
Climb onto my shoulders. I will not let you fall.
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
When I wake up the next morning, there's a Hershey's Kiss sitting on the table beside me.
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.
