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
When the moment comes to stop running from your past, to turn around and face the thing you thought you could not face--the moment when your life teeters between giving up and getting up--when that moment comes, and it always comes, if you can't get up and you can't give up either, here's what you do: Crawl.
Rick Yancey
God doesn't call the equipped, son. God equips the called. And you have been called.
Rick Yancey
Climb onto my shoulders. I will not let you fall.
Rick Yancey
The doctor frowned upon drinking and often expressed wonderment at men who willingly made imbeciles of themselves.
Rick Yancey
Dr. Warthrop chopped off my finger with a butcher knife.
Rick Yancey
If the world breaks a million and one promises, can you trust the million and second?
Rick Yancey
Miss Marks, you see, makes her living by...entertaining young, and not so young, sailors...or any other members of the armed forced, or civilians, who enjoy...being entertained by ladies who...entertain.
Rick Yancey
When I wake up the next morning, there's a Hershey's Kiss sitting on the table beside me.
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
It's hard to plan for what comes next when what comes next is not something you planned for.
Rick Yancey
Some things you can never leave behind. They don't belong to the past. They belong to you.
