That's my big problem. That's it! Before the Arrival,guys like Evan Walker never looked twice at me, much less shot wild game for me and washed my hair. They never grabbed me by the back of the neck like the airbrushed model on his mother's paperback,abs a-clenching, pecs a-popping. My eyes have never been looked into, or my chin raised to bring my lips within an inch of theirs. I was the girl in the background, the just-friend,or -worse- the friend of a just-friend, the you-sit-next-to-her-in-geometry-but-can't-remember-her-name girl. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
Cruelty isn't a personality trait. Cruelty is a habit. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
I really kill myself on titles, although 'The 5th Wave' seems like an obvious title, doesn't it? You don't know how long that took me. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
Stay calm. It's like chess. Move and countermove. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
Floods, fires, earthquakes, disease, starvation, betrayal, isolation, murder.
What doesn't kill us sharpens us. Hardens us. Schools us. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
We are humanity, the banner read. Wrong. We're pale reflections of it, weak shadows, distant echoes. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
Five men and two women, strangers to one another on the eve of that final growing season, now bound by the unspoken promise that the least of them was greater than the sum of all of them. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
The world is a clock winding down.
I hear it in the wind's icy fingers scratching against the window. I smell it in the mildewed carpeting and the rotting wallpaper of the old hotel. And I feel it in Teacup's chest as she sleeps. The hammering of her heart, the rhythm of her breath, warm in the freezing air, the clock winding down. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
I give her back an honest-to-goodness smile, the old Ben Parish smile, the one that got me practically everything I wanted. Well, not practically; I'm being modest. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
I'm determined, when the time comes, to at least go out with clean teeth. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
Until we've killed everyone who isn't tagged." Another step. Right in front of me now. The end of the gun pressing lightly against her chest. "It's the 5th Wave, Ben. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
The wheat had survived the hail and lightning of the summer storms, but luck could not deliver it from the cold. By the time the refugees took shelter in the old house, the wheat was dead, killed by the hard fist of a deep frost. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
We are one, you and I. Brothers in hate, brothers in cunning, brothers in the spirit of vengeance. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
'The 5th Wave' is sci-fi, but I tried very hard to ground the story in very human terms and in those universal themes that transcend genre. How do we define ourselves? What, exactly, does it mean to be human? What remains after everything we trust, everything we believe in and rely upon, has been stripped away? ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
Sci-Fi is the genre that explored both possibilities: the end of our existential crisis and the end of our existence. My novel, 'The 5th Wave,' explores the latter scenario, because, frankly, I believe it represents the likeliest outcome of an extraterrestrial encounter. In short, if they're out there, we better hope they never find us. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
Too many people say something when they really have nothing to say. ~ Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave quotes by Rick Yancey
If I am asked to give advice to those who are inclined to spend their time and their money on the Turf I should give them the advice 'Punch' gave to those about to marry
– don't." --5th Earl of Roseberry

The Fast Set: The World of Edwardian Racing by George Plumptre, 1985. ~ D.E. Ireland
The 5th Wave quotes by D.E. Ireland
Because I know that the early Greeks and Romans and the early Europeans at that age did not see racism as we see it now - because racism was created to justify slavery to build the capital for capitalism - and back in the day they respected talent over race. We had an African Pope in the late 5th century, we had an African Emperor of Rome, and early church Fathers were black. ~ Immortal Technique
The 5th Wave quotes by Immortal Technique
The notion dies hard that in some sort of way exports are patriotic but imports are immoral. ~ David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech
The 5th Wave quotes by David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech
You're a black belt in the 1st round but sometimes you're a purple belt in the 5th. ~ Gilbert Melendez
The 5th Wave quotes by Gilbert Melendez
Ladies and Gentlemen! Silence please!" Every one was startled. They looked round-at each other, at the walls. Who was speaking? The Voice went on- a high clear voice.

The 5th Wave quotes by Agatha Christie
Remember, remember the 5th of November. ~ Guy Fawkes
The 5th Wave quotes by Guy Fawkes
[Israel's military occupation is] in gross violation of international law and has been from the outset. And that much, at least, is fully recognized, even by the United States, which has overwhelming and, as I said, unilateral responsibility for these crimes. So George Bush No. 1, when he was the U.N. ambassador, back in 1971, he officially reiterated Washington's condemnation of Israel's actions in the occupied territories. He happened to be referring specifically to occupied Jerusalem. In his words, actions in violation of the provisions of international law governing the obligations of an occupying power, namely Israel. He criticized Israel's failure "to acknowledge its obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention as well as its actions which are contrary to the letter and spirit of this Convention." [...] However, by that time, late 1971, a divergence was developing, between official policy and practice. The fact of the matter is that by then, by late 1971, the United States was already providing the means to implement the violations that Ambassador Bush deplored. [...] on December 5th [2001], there had been an important international conference, called in Switzerland, on the 4th Geneva Convention. Switzerland is the state that's responsible for monitoring and controlling the implementation of them. The European Union all attended, even Britain, which is virtually a U.S. attack dog these days. They attended. A hundred and fourteen countries all together, the parties to ~ Noam Chomsky
The 5th Wave quotes by Noam Chomsky
Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see. My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
The 5th Wave quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
How marvelous it all is! Built not by saints and angels, but the work of men's hands; cemented with men's honest blood and with a world of tears, welded by the best brains of centuries past; not without the taint and reproach incidental to all human work, but constructed on the whole with pure and splendid purpose. Human, and yet not wholly human
for the most heedless and the most cynical must see the finger of the Divine. ~ Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl Of Rosebery
The 5th Wave quotes by Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl Of Rosebery
Unfortunately I put the opening date on the 5th of December 1941 and on the 7th of December the Japanese bombarded Pearl Harbour. My dream of a theater in Washington D.C. came to a prompt end. ~ Leon Askin
The 5th Wave quotes by Leon Askin
By their victory, the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Divisions and other units of the Fifth Amphibious Corps have made an accounting to their country which only history will be able to value fully. Among the Americans who served on Iwo Island, uncommon valor was a common virtue. ~ Chester W. Nimitz
The 5th Wave quotes by Chester W. Nimitz
By the 5th century B.C., however, most of the constellations had come to be associated with myths, and the Catasterismi of Eratosthenes completed the mythologization of the stars. ~ Errol Coder
The 5th Wave quotes by Errol Coder
The brain makes up l/50th of our body mass but consumes a staggering 1/5th of the calories we burn for energy. If your brain were a car, in terms of gas mileage, it'd be a Hummer. Most of our conscious activity is happening in our prefrontal cortex, the part of our brain responsible for focus, handling short-term memory, solving problems, and moderating impulse control. It's at the heart of what makes us human and the center for our executive control and willpower.

The "last in, first out" theory is very much at work inside our head. The most recent parts of our brain to develop are the first to suffer if there is a shortage of resources. Older, more developed areas of the brain, such as those that regulate breathing and our nervous responses, get first helpings from our blood stream and are virtually unaffected if we decide to skip a meal. The prefrontal cortex, on the other hand, feels the impact. Unfortunately, being relatively young in terms of human development, it's the runt of the litter come feeding time. ~ Gary Keller
The 5th Wave quotes by Gary Keller
I talked to him on Christmas, and again on March 5th. Neither one of us hung up the phone that whole time. ~ Jarod Kintz
The 5th Wave quotes by Jarod Kintz
I was born on the 5th April 1942. On Good Friday. Round about crucifixion time. Archbishop Ussher, a man for dates, who calculated that the world began on September 27th 4004 BC, says the crucifixion took place at three o'clock in the afternoon on Good Friday in the year 33 AD. I was right on time. ~ Peter Greenaway
The 5th Wave quotes by Peter Greenaway
A brick could be used like March 5th marches in a marching band. And guess what, as the marching band director, I am the cement that holds everyone's shoes in sync at the bottom of the Hudson River. ~ Jarod Kintz
The 5th Wave quotes by Jarod Kintz
Wise men and gods are on the strongest side. ~ Sir Charles Sedley, 5th Baronet
The 5th Wave quotes by Sir Charles Sedley, 5th Baronet
From the 5th grade through the 4th year of college, our young people are being indoctrinated with a Marxist philosophy and I am fearful of the harvest. The younger generation is further to the left than most adults realize. The old concepts of our Founding Fathers are scoffed and jeered at by young moderns whose goals appear to be the destruction of integrity and virtue, and the glorification of pleasure, thrills, and self-indulgence. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
The 5th Wave quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Stewart has two cars in the top five: Magnusson 5th and Barichello 6th. ~ Murray Walker
The 5th Wave quotes by Murray Walker
My father, a captain in the 5th Battalion of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, landed in Normandy the day after D-Day. ~ Craig Brown
The 5th Wave quotes by Craig Brown
Throw all caution to the wind, today, on your 40th
No need to have wisdom and sage
But tomorrow, as you start your 5th decade
Do try to act more your age ~ John Walter Bratton
The 5th Wave quotes by John Walter Bratton
In Britain, the major public holiday used to be Guy Fawkes Day ... that was celebrated on November 5th with things like bonfires and fireworks ... I think that made Halloween seem preferable. The idea of having pumpkins and costumes and parties seemed much more appealing than burning down your neighborhood. ~ Lisa Morton
The 5th Wave quotes by Lisa Morton
Bad news doesn't hurt as much, if you hear it in good company. It's like, if somebody pushes you out of a 5th floor window and you bounce off an awning, a car roof, and a pile of plastic garbage bags before you smash onto the pavement, you've got a pretty good chance of surviving. ~ Patricia Gaffney
The 5th Wave quotes by Patricia Gaffney
Do not first announce action, and then, when you are unable to take action, withdraw, because you will only find yourself in the same position as now, plus a public and humiliating confession of impotence. ~ Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl Of Rosebery
The 5th Wave quotes by Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl Of Rosebery
The 5th Amendment guarantees that defendants can't face 'double jeopardy,' which means the government can't prosecute a person a second time for the same crime if the jury returns a verdict. Only if the jury doesn't reach a decision can prosecutors elect to retry the case. ~ Robert Shapiro
The 5th Wave quotes by Robert Shapiro
Music is the 5th gospel. ~ Martin Luther
The 5th Wave quotes by Martin Luther
December 16, 1846, the fifteen composing the "Forlorn Hope," left Donner Lake. January 17, 1847, as they reached Johnson's ranch; and February 5th Capt. Tucker's party started to the assistance of the emigrants. This first relief arrived February 19th at the cabins; the second relief, or Reed's party, arrived March 1st; the third, or Foster's, about the middle of March; and the fourth, or Fallon's, on the seventeenth of April. Upon the arrival of Capt. Fallon's company, the sight presented at the cabins beggars all description. Capt. R. P. Tucker, now of Goleta, Santa Barbara County, Cal., endeavors, in his correspondence, to give a slight idea of the scene. ~ C.F. McGlashan
The 5th Wave quotes by C.F. McGlashan
I rode my horse to the saloon, but it was out of business. The cowboy I spoke with said the bartender served the saloon's last drink on March 5th, 1882. Guess I shouldn't have taken so long to shower and get ready. Ah, but that's life, no? ~ Jarod Kintz
The 5th Wave quotes by Jarod Kintz
I was involved with drama departments since the 5th grade. I played at it. It was an escape. ~ Adam Baldwin
The 5th Wave quotes by Adam Baldwin
In the end it may well be that Britain will be honored by the historians more for the way she disposed of an empire than for the way in which she acquired it. ~ David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech
The 5th Wave quotes by David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech
This love meditation is adapted from the Visuddhimagga by Buddhaghosa, a 5th century C.E. systematization of the Buddha's teaching. We begin by practicing the love meditation on ourselves ("May I"). Until we are able to love and take care of ourselves, we cannot be much help to others. After that, we practice them on others ("May he/she/they") - first on someone we like, then on someone neutral to us, and finally on someone who makes us suffer.

May I be peaceful, happy, and light in body and spirit.
May I be safe and free from injury.
May I be free from anger, afflictions, fear and anxiety.

May I learn to look at myself with the eyes of of understanding and love.
May I be able to recognize and touch the seeds of joy and happiness in myself.
May I learn to identify and see the sources of anger, craving, and delusion in myself.

May I know how to nourish the seeds of joy in myself every day.
May I be able to live fresh, solid, and free.
May I be free from attachment and aversion, but not indifferent.

Love is not just the intention to love, but the capacity to reduce suffering, and offer peace and happiness. The practice of love increases our forbearance, our capacity to be patient and embrace difficulties and pain. Forbearance does mean that we try to suppress pain. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
The 5th Wave quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh
