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?)
Neal Shusterman
Great tragedies have great consequences. They ripple through the fabric of this world and the next. When the loss is too great for either world to bear, Everlost absorbs the shock, like a cushion between the two.

That's wisdom you can take to the grave, and dig up when you need it!

You can't change laws without first changing human nature.
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
And he thinks that if his soul had a form, this is what it would be. A baby sleeping in his arms.

Hey, says Hayden, I'm Switzerland neutral as can be, and also with great chocolate. Get lost, Roland tells him. Already am. And Hayden strolls away.

What? Were you born stupid, or did you just die that way?
Neal Shusterman
It does, Tennyson, because there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance. There’s a fine line between being assertive and being a bully. And you’re on the wrong side of both lines.

I was asking if unwinding kills you, or if it leaves you alive somehow. C'mon—it's not like we haven't thought about it. (...) What do you think, Connor? asks Hayden. What happens to your soul when you get unwound? Who says I even got one? For the sake of argument, let's say you do. Who says I want an argument?
Neal Shusterman
He only wishes there were something that would heal the scars in his mind, which he can still feel. He sees his mind now as an archipelago of islands that he labors to build bridges between - and while he's had great success engineering the most spectacular of bridges, he suspects there are some islands that he'll never reach.
Neal Shusterman
Their fate rested entirely on me. I could save them by telling the truth. I could destroy them by lying. No one should have that much power.
Neal Shusterman
Suddenly it was obvious to Connor why they don't teach it. Once education was restructured and corporatized, they didn't want kids knowing how close they came to toppling the government. They didn't want kids to know how much power they really had.

We want what you no longer want.

Statistically speaking, there's a better chance that some part of me will go on to greatness somewhere in the world. I'd rather be partly great than entirely useless.
Neal Shusterman
You see, a conflict always begins with an issue - a difference of opinion, an argument. But by the time it turns into a war, the issue doesn't matter anymore, because now it's about one thing and one thing only: how much each side hates the other.

You'll feel a tingling in your chest, says a surgeon. It's nothing to worry about.
Neal Shusterman
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
Fine, Connor tells him. Think about stuff until your head explodes. But the only thing I want to think about is surviving to eighteen. I find your shallowness both refreshing and disappointing at the same time. Do you think that means I need therapy?

The homes here are almost identical, but not quite, full of people almost identical, but not quite.
