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
When you look death in the eye and death blinks first, nothing seems impossible.
Rick Yancey

Rick Yancey
The next time you better have a good reason, I tease him. Okay. He kisses me again. Reason? I ask softly. Um. You're really pretty? That's a good one. I don't know if it's true, but it's good.
