More quotes by Rick Yancey

Rick Yancey
In case you're an alien and you're reading this: BITE ME.
Rick Yancey
Maybe the last human being on Earth won't die of starvation or exposure or as a meal of wild animals. Maybe the last one to die will be killed by the last one alive.
Rick Yancey
If the world breaks a million and one promises, can you trust the million and second?

Tampons. I’m constantly worrying about my stash and if I’ll be able to find more.
Rick Yancey
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
Because promises matter. They matter now more than ever.
Rick Yancey
God doesn't call the equipped, son. God equips the called. And you have been called.
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
And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.
Rick Yancey
When I woke up in you, Cassie. I wasn't fully human until I saw myself in your eyes. And then there are real human tears in his real human eyes, and it's my turn to hold him while his heart breaks. My turn to see myself in his eyes.
Rick Yancey
Yes, my dear child, monsters are real. I happen to have one hanging in my basement.
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.
