What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld
Around the outskirts of the city, cut off from town by the black oval of the river, everything was in darkness. Everyone ugly was in bed by now.

Scott Westerfeld
You all say you need us. Well, maybe you do, but not to help, with the millions of bubbly new minds about to be unleashed, with all the cities coming awake at last. Together, you're more than enough to change the world without us. So from now on, David and I are here to stand in your way. You see, freedom has a way of destroying things.
Scott Westerfeld
That was one problem with dramatic exits: Sometimes they wound up making you look like a bubblehead.
Scott Westerfeld
One of the most common questions writers are asked is Where do you get your ideas? But the sad truth is, we don't know. Ideas can come at any time and from any direction: in the shower, waiting for an elevator, or while bouncing across Wikipedia pages.
Scott Westerfeld
He makes me feel like that. Like flying.
