Why are you still with me, Fry? CyFi asks after one of his body-shaking seizures. Any sane dude woulda taken off days ago. Who says I'm sane? Oh, you're sane, Fry. You're so sane, you scare me. You're so sane, it's insane.

Revelations are never convenient, and always annoying.
Neal Shusterman
Milestone! This is a momentous occasion, he tells her cheerily. It should be witnessed by a friend. She throws him an icy gaze, and he does a verbal back pedal. Aaaand since no friends are present, I'll have to do.

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.

The nation was tearing itself apart over pro-life and pro-choice but completely ignored the problems of the kids who were already here. I mean, no schools, no work, no clue if they'd even have a future. They just went nuts!

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

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.

...You know something, don't you? I know lots of things--your inquiry needs to be more specific. Just answer the question. True/false or multiple choice?

Lev smiles. Leave it to you to turn someone else's screwup into gold

What? Were you born stupid, or did you just die that way?
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
Cowards hide [...] but warriors lie and wait [...] the only difference is whether you're motivated by fear or purpose.
Neal Shusterman
Sure, when you're in the midst of your own suffering, it's easy to convince yourself that you're no good—but we are all tested in this life...The measure of a man is not how much he suffers in the test, but how he comes out at the end.
Neal Shusterman
For standing between Cody and his pain is my obligation, and standing between my uncle and his pain is my rent, but the pain I coax from Bronte is my joy

Part of my job is to help other kids find books, because not everyone has a keenly organized mind. Some kids could wander the library for hours and still have no idea how to find anything. For them, the Dewey Decimal System might as well be advanced calculus.

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

Respect doesn't come without a little resentment.

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.

Conner Lassiter. Scheduled to be unwound the 21st of November-until you went AWOL. You caused an accident that killed a bus driver, left dozens of others injured, and shut down an interstate highway for hours. Then, on top of it, you took a hostage AND shot a Juvey-cop with his own tranq gun. ...He's the Akron AWOL?!

Love turns a heart to crystal...Much more valuable, but much more fragile.
