Rick Yancey
Perhaps God waits for us to be empty, so he may fill us with himself.
Rick Yancey
In case you're an alien and you're reading this: BITE ME.
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
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.
Rick Yancey
It's hard to plan for what comes next when what comes next is not something you planned for.
Rick Yancey
