Oh, I’m going to like this book.

My father had a face that could stop a clock. I don’t mean that he was ugly or anything; it was a phrase the ChronoGuard used to describe someone who had the power to reduce time to an ultraslow trickle.

(opening lines of The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde)

Quote: The 5th Wave

If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.

— Stephen Hawking (as quoted in The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey)
