Some things you don't have to promise. You just do.
Rick Yancey
Afterward I told his widow, Your husband is dead, but at least he died laughing.' I think she took some comfort in that. It is the second-best way to die, Will Henry. He did not say what the best way was.

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
He spreads his fingers over my heart, like he’s holding it, like it belongs to him, the hard-fought-for territory he’s won fair and square.

Soon I will fall asleep and I will wake from this terrible dream. The endless night will fall, and I will rise. I long for that night. I do not fear it. I have had my fill of fear. I have stared too long into the abyss, and now the abyss stares back at me.
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 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
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
His heart, the war. Her face, the battlefield.
Rick Yancey
You are the nest. You are the hatchling. You are the chrysalis. You are the progeny. You are the rot that falls from stars. You may not understand what I mean. You will.
Rick Yancey
When you look death in the eye and death blinks first, nothing seems impossible.
Rick Yancey
The minute we decide that one person doesn´t matter anymore, they´ve won.
Rick Yancey
In every creepy movie ever made, the barn is the prime nesting ground for the things you don't know you're looking for and always regret finding.
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
Still, you tend to believe what you always believed, think what you always thought, expect what you always expected
Rick Yancey
Some things you can never leave behind. They don't belong to the past. They belong to you.
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
