Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
As a bio major, I figured "free will" meant chemicals in your brain telling you what to do, the molecules bouncing around in a way that felt like choosing but was actually the dance of little gears
neurons and hormones bubbling up into decisions like clockwork. You don't use your body; it uses you. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
In their infinite wisdom, the Admiralty approved Alek's medal for bravery in the air on the very same day the United States entered the war.
The timing seemed suspicious to Deryn, and of course the medal wasn't for anything useful, like shutting down Tesla's weapon to save the Leviathan. Instead Alek was to be decorated for blundering about on the ship's topside during a storm, and for his great skill in falling over and knocking himself silly. That was the Admiralty for you. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
But books don't happen by accident. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
That letter was your whole future, you daft prince."
"It was my past. I lost that the night my parents died. But I found you, Deryn. Maybe I wasn't meant to end the war, but I was meant to find you. I know that. You've saved me from having any reason to keep going."
"We save each other. That's how it works. ~ Scott Westerfeld

Dess shook her head. "Before he walked off, Rex said for you to wait.

She pointed to where the darkling had flung Flabbergasted Supernumerary Mathematician, its tip blackened by ichor and fire. "So, go ahead. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Or maybe when they do the operation- when they grind and stretch your bones to the right shape, peel off your face and rub all your skin away, and stick in plastic cheekbones so you look like everybody else- maybe after going through all that you just aren't very interesting anymore. -Shay, Uglies ~ Scott Westerfeld

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld

And that better thing is us. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Don't worry," he kept saying. "The overworld can't hurt you if you stay calm." I wasn't calm at all.

His skin seemed to burn against mine. ~ Scott Westerfeld

You can tell a million different stories about love. Especially when it's love with someone who's different."

...

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
The Shrink always warned me that carriers stay wracked with lifelong guilt. It's not an uplifting thing having turned lovers into monsters. We feel bad that we haven't turned into monsters ourselves
survivor's guilt, that's called. And we feel a bit stupid that we didn't notice our own symptoms earlier. I mean, I'd been sort of wondering why the Atkins diet was giving me night vision. But that hadn't seemed like something to worry about ... ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Frighteningly Beautiful, Dangerously Strong, Breathtakingly Fast.
Face it Tally-wa you're special ... ~ Scott Westerfeld

You're insane!" she shouted.
"Pretty cool, huh?"
"No!"Tally yelled. "Why didn't you tell me it was broken?"
Shay shrugged. "More fun that way?"
"More fun?" Her heart beating fast,her vision strangely clear. She was full of anger and relief and ... joy.
"Well, kind of. But you suck! ~ Scott Westerfeld

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
The night went on like this, a mix of serious talk, utter bullshit, self-promotion, and slumber-party giddiness. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
What happens when perfection isn't good enough? ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld

God, you mean I lost my virginity to the apocalypse?"
Morgan sighed again. "The whole thing was really embarrassing; my parents sent me to Brooklyn when they found out." She shrugged. "I thought I'd be safe in a gay bar, okay? What were you doing in there anyway?"
Lace looked at me sidelong. "You were where?"
I took a sip of beer, swallowed it. "I, uh, hadn't been in the city ... very long. I didn't know. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Why are you still wearing ... ?" Aya began. "Oh, that's not smart plastic? You're really an ugly?"

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
But it's always taking a risk, when you ... kiss someone new. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
When you get your author's photo taken, be sure not to touch your face." "Why would I do that?" "It's a mystery, but quite common. You must have seen this one." Oscar struck a brooding pose, his fist beneath his chin. "For the author whose brain is too heavy to stay up on its own. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
I spilled more times than a glass of milk on a roller coaster. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
I stayed against the back wall, as far away as I could get. Not just to stay away from the Plague Lady but to be farther away from the weird old dolls that lined the shelves of her office. Real-looking hair sprouted from their crumbling heads and all their faces were painted with smiles. Kids in the old days must have loved nightmares or something. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by 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
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Gravity was something you could beat; all it took was hydrogen, hot air, or even a bit of rope. But being a girl was a miserable, never-ending struggle. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
You just took on five million years of evolution again ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Hi guys the book Im reading right this moment is called Uglies ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
The exposure effect is also good news for those of us who weren't born gorgeous. It means that the people who know us best - our parents and children, our best friends and true loves - ultimately 'forget' what we look like. How symmetrical or clear-skinned we are disappears into the experiences we've shared with someone. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
You're still yourself on the inside, Shay. But when you're pretty, people pay more attention." "Not everyone thinks that way. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
He shook with another sob, sinking to one knee and realizing that the survival of that one ship – one girl, really – had been for a moment more important than the war itself, or a city's millions. Then the wind shifted, and Alek breathed in the burnt-meat smells that filled the room behind him.
Important enough for him to kill a man, it seemed. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Freedom's easy to lose and hard to get back. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Right, and things were so great back when everyone was ugly. Or did you miss that day in school?" "Yeah, yeah, I know," Shay recited. "Everyone judged everyone else based on their appearance. People who were taller got better jobs, and people even voted for some politicians just because they weren't quite as ugly as everybody else. Blah, blah, blah." "Yeah, and people killed one another over stuff like having different skin color." Tally shook her head. No matter how many times they repeated it at school, she'd never really quite believed that one. "So what if people look more alike now? It's the only way to make people equal. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
The scent of a faraway place lay on my skin. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. - Francis Bacon, Essays, Civil and Moral, Of Beauty ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Miss Rogers waved a hand. "But Mr. Hearst just wants a dramatic story. If the rebels destroy us, he'll get no story at all!"
"Aye, but has anyone explained that to the barking rebels?"
"These are civilized rebels, young man. They have movie deals!"
"That's no guarantee of sanity! ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
The Internet is global and seemingly omniscient, while iPods and phones are all microscopic workings encased in plastic blobjects. Compare that to a steam engine, where you can watch the pistons move and feel the heat of its boilers. I think we miss that visceral appeal of the machine. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
He squeezed her hand. "Then I'll come get you, wherever you are when it happens. We'll be okay."

Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
You're a bum-rag covered in clart! ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Never give us what we really want. Cut the dream into pieces and scatter them like ashes. Dole out the empty promises. Package our aspirations and sell them to us, cheaply made enough to fall apart. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld quotes by Scott Westerfeld
It's not the traveling that takes courage Tally. I've done much longer trips on my own. It's leaving home. ~ Scott Westerfeld
