Rick Yancey
That's what you do when the curtain is falling--you give the line that the audience wants to hear.
Rick Yancey
There are those who labor in the darkness, that the rest of us might live in the light.
Rick Yancey
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.

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
There are times when fear is not our enemy. There are times when fear is our truest, sometimes only, friend.

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
And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.
Rick Yancey
Climb onto my shoulders. I will not let you fall.
Rick Yancey
A man lies upon the floor, spreads his arms, and transforms himself into a ship of a thousand sails.
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
Still, you tend to believe what you always believed, think what you always thought, expect what you always expected
Rick Yancey
It isn't up to me to break his heart that's time's job.
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
Dr. Warthrop chopped off my finger with a butcher knife.
Rick Yancey
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
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
I am the one, Not Running, Not Staying, But FACING
