Rick Yancey

Rick Yancey is an American author known for his young adult novels, particularly 'The 5th Wave' series.

"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, not staying, 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

"There are some we cannot help but take an instant dislike to."

Rick Yancey

"I am like the water that runs over me, immune to permanence, recycling endlessly. I am water; I am life. The form may change, but the substance stays the same. Strike me down and I will rise again. Vincit qui patitur."

Rick Yancey

"Madness is a wholly human malady borne in a brain too evolved—or not quite evolved enough—to bear the awful burden of its own existence."
