More quotes by Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls

"You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do."
"Stories are important, the monster said. They can be more important than anything. If they carry the truth."
"Who cares even if I didn't?!"Conor shouted back. "They're just stupid berries. Woo-hoo, so scary. Oh, please, please, save me from the berries!"The monster looked at him quizzically. How strange, it said. The words you say tell me you are scared of the berries, but your actions seems to suggest otherwise."
