Dr. Warthrop chopped off my finger with a butcher knife.
Rick Yancey
There are things that are too terrible to remember, and there are things that are almost too wonderful to recall.
Rick Yancey
I don't care what the stars say about how small we are. One, even the smallest, weakest, most insignificant one, matters.
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
