Apparently textbooks were an endangered species here in Bixby, Oklahoma.
Scott Westerfeld
And here in America rival newspapermen attack each other on sight?
Scott Westerfeld
Not everything made you stronger. It was possible to survive, yet still be crippled for your trouble. Sometimes it was okay to run away, to skip the test, to chicken out. Or at least to get some help.
Scott Westerfeld
But you weren't born expecting that kind of beauty in everyone, all the time. You just got programmed into thinking anything else is ugly.
Scott Westerfeld
Let me get this stright, Aya-Chan. You want me, a person who can't lie, to lie about the fact that I can't lie? -Frizz mizuno
Scott Westerfeld
That was the whole point of being special: You existed to make sure everyone else behaved, but that didn't mean YOU had to.
Scott Westerfeld
