Famous Neal Shusterman Quotes

“The accountant lingers at his children's doorway a moment more, listening to the easy rhythm of their breathing, and something cold moves through him, like the passage of a ghost - but he know that's not it. It's more like the portent of a future. A future that must never come to pass... ...and for the first time, he gives rise to a thought that is silently echoed in millions of homes that night. My God... what have we done?”

“Kiedyś bałem się śmierci. Teraz boję sie nieżycia. To różnica. Idziemy przez życie planując przyszłość, ale czasami ta przyszłość nigdy nie nadchodzi. [...] Strach przed nieżyciem to dogłębny, trwały lęk przed patrzeniem, jak twój potencjał ulega rozkładowi i zmienia się w nieodwracalne rozczarowanie, gdy "powinno być" zostaje zgniecione przez to, co jest. [...] łatwiej byłoby umrzeć niż zmierzyć się z czymś takim, bo znacznie wyżej ceni się "co mogło być" niż "co powinno być".”

“Sure, I can talk like you, but I choose not to, It's like an art, you know? Picasso had to prove to the world he could paint the right way, before he goes putting both eyes on the side of a face... See if you paint wrong because that's the best you can do, you just a chump. But you do it because you want to? Then you're an artist...You can take that to the grave and dig it up when you need it.”

“"You...you lost your faith?" "No...just my convictions. I still very much believe in God- just not a god who condones human tithing." Lev begins to feel himself choking up with an unexpected flood of feeling, all the emotions that had been building up throughout their talk-throughout the weeks-arriving all at once like a sonic boom. "I never knew there was a choice".”
