“But if I'm it, the last of my kind, the last page of human history, like hell I'm going to let the story end this way. I may be the last one, but I am the one still standing. I am the one turning to face the faceless hunter in the woods on an abandoned highway. I am the one not running but facing. Because if I am the last one, then I am humanity. And if this is humanity's last war, then I am the battlefield.”
― Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“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.”
― Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“We'd stared into the face of Death, and Death blinked first. You'd think that would make us feel brave and invincible. It didn't.”
― Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“I've never felt so... light.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“And I just couldn't take it anymore. I closed the distance between us, slammed him back against the chair and kissed him, holding his head still with both my hands buried in that stupid, stupid hair. I half expected more resistance, because Pritkin had never met an argument he didn't like. So it was a shock when he ran his hands down my sides, cupped my hips and slid us both to the floor.
"I'm going straight to hell for this," he muttered.
"At least you'll know a lot of people," I said breathlessly. ”

“When I cry - when I let myself cry - that's who I cry for. I don't cry for myself. I cry for the Cassie that's gone.
And I wonder what that Cassie would think of me.
The Cassie who kills.”
― Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“We’re going jogging.â€�
“I don’t run for recreation. I run when someone’s after me with a weapon.�
“That can be arranged,”

“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, The 5th Wave

“Something weird," Ben said. "You would think, with ninety-nine percent of us gone, the two percent would get along better."
Um, that would be one percent, Parish.”
― Rick Yancey, The Infinite Sea

“Maybe, to do what you and I do, we have to have a little bit of the monster in us.”

“He had the look of an atheist who’d just had a visit from God: stunned, disbelieving and faintly ill.”
― Karen Chance, Claimed by Shadow

“Think you can maybe not die for five minutes?"
"I'll try,"I told him seriously.
"You know, if anyone else said that, it would be funny.”
― Karen Chance, Hunt the Moon

“My sometimes friend, sometimes enemy, all the time pain in the ass.”
― Karen Chance, Hunt the Moon

“You know, dulceata, there are times when I truly believe you are the most frightening person I know.
Thank you?”
― Karen Chance, Hunt the Moon

“Pritkin gave me a little shake and I eyed him without favor. The only other occasions when I had been dragged back in time, the trip had been triggered by proximity to a person whose past was being threatened.
I have to tell you,â€� I said frankly, “if someone is trying to mess with your conception or something, I’m not feeling a pressing need to intervene.”
― Karen Chance, Claimed by Shadow

“I felt betrayed and absolutely livid, but my body wasn’t smart enough to know it. It had liked the feel of his hands, wanted more of it, wanted it now. It was almost like there were two of me, one who heartily approved of the mage and one who would have dearly loved to see him dead.”
― Karen Chance, Embrace the Night

“It's okay. You aren't my type.
What's your type?
Someone who gets into less trouble.”
― Karen Chance, Hunt the Moon

“I’m beginning to sense a theme,â€� Mircea said, tossing his suit coat over a buckskin-covered chair. A moose head with huge, outspread antlers loomed over it, its bright glass eyes looking oddly lifelike in the low light. Mircea took in the room, his expression slightly repulsed yet fascinated. “I believe there is only one thing to say at this point.â€�
What’s that?�
Yee haw,â€� he said gravely, and took me down like a rodeo calf.”
― Karen Chance, Curse the Dawn

“Do you know what I feel about you, Devin? About us?...Dazzled, you dazzle me. You make me feel things, and want things I never knew I could have. -Cassie”
― Nora Roberts, The Heart of Devin MacKade

“Pritkin and Mircea mixed like oil and water, only not so well.”
― Karen Chance, Hunt the Moon

“I stared at him, unable to believe this was happening. That he could just
disappear, along with everything rich and strange he’d brought into my life.
Vanished, like magic.”
― Karen Chance, Curse the Dawn

“Home isn't a place. Home is the people who love you most, the people who will always love you, forever and ever, no matter what.”
― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, All In

“War mages ordered, threatened and bitched. They didn't deal.”
― Karen Chance, Hunt the Moon

“Mircea must have heard us come in, but he continued what he was doing.
He stood with his back to us, the candlelight on his bare skin causing his muscles to fall into sharp relief. He’d washed the river gunk out of his hair and now he threw it back, the water droplets shimmering in the light. The scene looked for all the world like a really good romance novel cover.”
― Karen Chance, Embrace the Night

“And then Evan Walker kisses me.”
― Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“I narrowed my eyes at it. Ming-de’s little gift, I assumed. “You look better in color,â€� I snapped.
He sent me a sultry look over his shoulder. “Really? Most women think I look better in nothing at all.”
― Karen Chance, Embrace the Night

“When I wake up the next morning, there's a Hershey's Kiss sitting on the table beside me.”
― Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“Pritkin muttered something that sounded fairly vicious. “My clothes are warded! Even if I wished to accede to your demand, it would not work on them.â€�
“Then strip.�
“I beg your pardon?â€� He sounded almost polite suddenly, as if he believed he couldn’t possibly have heard right.”
― Karen Chance, Embrace the Night

“That's my name. Not Cassie for Cassandra. Or Cassie for Cassidy. And it's not Cassie for Cassiopeia. Not anymore. I am more than her now.
I am all of them, Evan and Ben and Marika and Megan and Sam. I am Dumbo and Poundcake and Teacup. I am all the ones you emptied, the ones you corrupted, the ones you discarded, the thousands you thought you killed, but who live in me.
But I am more than this. I am all those they remember, the ones they loved, everyone they knew, and everyone they only heard about. How many are contained in me? Count the stars. Go on, number the grains of sand. That's me.
I am humanity.”
― Rick Yancey, The Last Star

“Dance it off.”
