This book is so interesting. I always wonder what's going to happen next.

How do you judge the brightness of a light when you’re the source? A spotlight can never see the shadows it casts.

It's funny how a flame can only burn your hand if you move too slow, you can tease it all you want and it never gets you, if your quick enough.
Neal Shusterman
Would you rather die, or be unwound?

Wars are often waged not because of what we believe, but because of the things we want others to believe.

I think all mothers are alike, regardless of cultural background, when it comes to illogical cleaning.

The thing was, if I had found a way to escape- even for just a little while- I knew the pain would be there waiting for me when I got back.

There are mysteries in Everlost. Some of them are wonderful, and others scary. They should all be explored, though- perhaps that's why we're here: to experience the good and the bad that Everlost has to offer.

(Why did they call them sneakers if it was so hard to sneak in them?)

All this time, Lev ever realized what he needed. He did not need to be adored or pitied. He needed to be forgiven. Not by God, who is all forgiving. Not by people like Marcus and Pastor Dan, who would always stand by his side. He needed to be forgiven by an unforgiving world.

You know that feeling you get when your leg falls asleep? Well, I suddenly had that feeling in my spine. Like termites were chewing through the marrow in my backbone.
Neal Shusterman
Would you rather die, or be unwound? Now he finally knows the answer. Maybe this is what he wanted. Maybe it's why he stood there and taunted Roland. Because he'd rather be killed with a furious hand than dismembered with cool indifference.

A pedestal is the most insidious prison ever devised.

Then Jix locked eyes with him and said very calmly, If you hit her, I will open my mouth wide enough to swallow you whole, force you through my bowels, then out my other end. Avalon scowled at him.

Normally Connor would walk away from a conversation like this. His life is about tangibles: things you can see, hear and touch. God, souls, and all that has always been like a secret in a black box he couldn't see into, so it was easier just to leave it alone. Only now, he's inside the black box.
Neal Shusterman
We can lie to ourselves, saying we believe one thing, and sometimes we convince other's it's true, with the hope that by convincing others, we can convince ourselves. Wars are often waged not because of what we believe, but because of the things we want others to believe.
Neal Shusterman
I'm against solutions that are worse than the problem. Like old women who want their hair dyed the color of shoe polish to hide the gray.
Neal Shusterman
...One thing you learn when you've lived as long as I have-people aren't all good, and people aren't all bad. We move in and out of darkness and light all of our lives. Right now, I'm pleased to be in the light.
