Rick Yancey
“How do you rid the Earth of humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.”
Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

Laura Hillenbrand
“What God asks of men, said [Billy] Graham, is faith. His invisibility is the truest test of that faith. To know who sees him, God makes himself unseen.”
Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption

Rick Yancey
“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.”
Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“You are angry at the God you were taught to believe in as a child. The God who is supposed to watch over you and protect you, who answers your prayers and forgives your sins. This God is just a story. Religions try to capture God, but God is beyond religion. The true God lies beyond our comprehension. We can't understand His will; He can't be explained in a book. He didn't abandon us and He will not save us. He has nothing to do with our being here. God does not change. He simply is. I don't pray to God for forgiveness or favors, I only pray to be closer to Him, and when I pray, I fill my heart with love. When I pray this way, I know that God is love. When I feel that love, I remember that we don't need angels or a heaven, because we are a part of God already.”
Nando Parrado, Miracle in the Andes: 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home
