More quotes by Rick Yancey

Rick Yancey
Are you okay? I (Cassie) call up to him. Um. Define okay. (Ben) Okay means you're not bleeding to death. I'm okay.
Rick Yancey
I will teach you to love death. I will empty you of grief and guilt and self-pity and fill you up with hate and cunning and the spirit of vengeance. I will make my final stand here, Benjamin Thomas Parish.
Rick Yancey

Rick Yancey
The doctor frowned upon drinking and often expressed wonderment at men who willingly made imbeciles of themselves.
Rick Yancey
Good God, man, what is that smell? He eyed with disgust the doctor's filthy cloak. Life, answered the doctor.
Rick Yancey
The world is a clock winding down.
Rick Yancey
Dr. Warthrop chopped off my finger with a butcher knife.
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.
Rick Yancey
If I had faced it then, I wouldn't be facing it now, but sooner or later you have to choose between running and facing the thing you thought you could not face.
Rick Yancey
When you look death in the eye and death blinks first, nothing seems impossible.
Rick Yancey
Climb onto my shoulders. I will not let you fall.
