Rick Yancey Quotes

When you look death in the eye and death blinks first, nothing seems impossible Picture Quote #1

How oft do they rescue or ruin us, through whimsy or design or a combination of both, the adults to whom we entrust our care! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Could there be irony crueler than this? How, upon his rescue, the truth had brought him here, to a house for the mad, for only a madman believes what every child knows to be true: There are monsters that lie in wait under our beds Picture Quote #1

And red is not the color of apples or roses or the dresses that pretty girls wear in the summertime. That is not the color of red at all Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There are those who labor in the darkness, that the rest of us might live in the light Picture Quote #1

She hated him and loved him, longed for him and loathed him, and cursed herself for feeling anything at all Picture Quote #1

Yes, my dear child, monsters are real. I happen to have one hanging in my basement Picture Quote #1

The doctor frowned upon drinking and often expressed wonderment at men who willingly made imbeciles of themselves Picture Quote #1

The cold stars spun to the ancient rhythm, the August march of an everlasting symphony. They are old, the stars, and their memory is long Picture Quote #1

Some things you can never leave behind. They don’t belong to the past. They belong to you Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We’re here, and then we’re gone, and it’s not about the time we’re here, but what we do with the time Picture Quote #1

There’s an old saying about truth setting you free. Don’t buy it. Sometimes the truth slams the cell door shut and throws a thousand bolts Picture Quote #1

You know how sometimes you tell yourself that you have a choice, but really you don’t have a choice? Just because there are alternatives doesn’t mean they apply to you Picture Quote #1

I didn’t show up here to give your life purpose now that your life’s over. That’s up to you to figure out Picture Quote #1

I thought I knew what loneliness was before he found me, but I had no clue. You don’t know what real loneliness is until you’ve known the opposite Picture Quote #1

Prayers and promises. The one his sister made to him. The unspoken one I made to my sister. Prayers are promises, too, and these are the days of broken promises Picture Quote #1

God doesn’t call the equipped, son. God equips the called. And you have been called Picture Quote #1

I would kill for a cheeseburger. Honestly. If I stumbled across someone eating a cheeseburger, I would kill them for it Picture Quote #1

Even the most sensitive person can get used to even the most insensitive thing. Cruelty isn’t a personality trait. Cruelty is a habit Picture Quote #1

I don’t move. I wait behind my log, terrified. Over the past ten minutes, it’s become such a dear friend, I consider naming it: Howard, my pet log Picture Quote #1

He asks me what happened to my leg. I told him I was shot by a shark. He doesn’t react. Doesn’t seem confused or amused or anything. Like getting shot by a shark is a perfectly natural thing in the aftermath of the arrival Picture Quote #1

Then I strip the pants away from each leg, like peeling a banana. That’s it, the perfect metaphor: peeling a banana Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t care what the stars say about how small we are. One, even the smallest, weakest, most insignificant one, matters Picture Quote #1
