And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.
Rick Yancey
It's hard to plan for what comes next when what comes next is not something you planned for.
Rick Yancey
Human beings are remarkably resilient. When you think about it, our species has been teetering upon the edge of the existential cliff since Hiroshima. In short, we endure.

Rick Yancey
I am the one, Not Running, Not Staying, But FACING
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
Perhaps God waits for us to be empty, so he may fill us with himself.
Rick Yancey
It isn't up to me to break his heart that's time's job.
Rick Yancey
Tampons. I’m constantly worrying about my stash and if I’ll be able to find more.
Rick Yancey
Cruelty isn't a personality trait. Cruelty is a habit.
Rick Yancey
A man lies upon the floor, spreads his arms, and transforms himself into a ship of a thousand sails.
Rick Yancey
I was a slave to something he believed to be silly and superstitious: the idea that all life was worth defending and that nothing justified surrender to the forces of destruction.
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
You can only call someone crazy if there’s someone else who’s normal. Like good and evil. If everything was good, then nothing would be good.
Rick Yancey
God doesn't call the equipped, son. God equips the called. And you have been called.
Rick Yancey
