“We can put off things far more effectively than those doomed to die, because death has become the exception instead of the rule.”
― Neal Shusterman, Scythe

“We can't undo what's happened. The dead are buried and we can't unbury them. All we can do is live the rest of our lives in a way that won't shame their memories. And make sure nothing like this ever happens again.”
― K.E. Mills, The Accidental Sorcerer

“When we are children our parents tell us precisely what we must and must not do, for our understanding is circumscribed and our knowledge of the world incomplete. But when we are grown they nod and say, 'We have taught you well. Go know into the world and remember what you learned at our table.”
― K.E. Mills, The Accidental Sorcerer

“To choose those who live and those who die would leave me both feared and adored, like emperor-gods of old. No, I decided. Let humankind be the saviors and the silencers. Let them be the heroes. Let them be the monsters.”
― Neal Shusterman, Thunderhead
