| 98438fa | She squeezes my hand, and I feel that certainty I always had as a littlie. That I'm more than expendable. More than a body double. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 2268742 | When Tally glanced out at the glowing horizon, her eyes opened wide. She'd never seen dawn from outside the city before. Like most uglies, she was rarely up early enough, and in any case the horizon was always hidden behind the skyline of New Pretty Town. The sight of a real sunrise amazed her. A | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| d837662 | There are probably a dozen perfect happy endings you could write. And a thousand bittersweet ones, and at least a million that are gloriously tragic. Alas, you only get to pick one. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 2b35a44 | A country with two kings will always falter. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 7a0b80f | The world always had more details than you could remember, more than you could even see, and a thousand times more than you could ever write down. You were always deleting and forgetting far more than you could express in words. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| fd77c56 | Maybe the trick was not to panic. In life, as in the bewildering business of writing stories and flinging them out into the world, you had to focus on the page in front of you. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 4071e21 | But doesn't real love work the other way round?" Kiralee asked. "You start by thinking someone's fabulous, and by the end of the piece you realize he's a monster!" | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 0b11ffa | You have to prove to New York that you really want to live here. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| c5c7666 | You can tell a million different stories about love. Especially when it's love with someone who's different." You mean a monster?" Coleman said. "Well, that's what you think at first. But it's like, um, Beauty and the Beast. When you find out that the monster is actually . . . nice." ...... "But doesn't real love work the other way round?" Kiralee asked.

| dfba30e | Still, she wouldn't have traded anything for this moment, standing there and looking down at the plains spread out below. Tally had spent the last four years staring at the skyline of New Pretty Town, thinking it was the most beautiful sight in the world, but she didn't think so anymore. * | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 1fccd36 | life is problematic, so novels must be too. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 956c487 | Writing fairies can get grumpy in a new house," Johari said. "Like cats. Mine pissed on the pillows every night for a week after I moved up to New York." | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 1c6f0f5 | Maybe he really could see past her ugly face. Maybe what was inside her did matter to him more than anything else. Tally | Scott Westerfeld | ||

| 65623e1 | Yeah, I can read", he said. "Didn't mean to shock you. Maybe you thought I ran around in a little wheel all day?" | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 84423ee | Battered by the mind noise, huddled in the back with eyes closed and fists clenched, the old Melissa had understood pep rallies about as well as a bird sucked through a jet engine comprehended aircraft design. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| f31afc4 | 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 | ||

| aab9d17 | But I wanted to finish your book. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| d9d9c2a | 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 | ||

| 2f5584f | Yeah, exactly. But, actually, boards prefer iron. All that glitters is not hovery. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 81de097 | Dess took a deep breath, feeling a rush of relief now that the proclamation had been made. It was sort of like being the first astronomer to spot one of those big dinosaur-extermination-sized asteroids on its way toward Earth. Sure, this was majorly unpleasant news for everyone, including Dess personally, but at least she got to announce it. | humor | Scott Westerfeld | |

| 7cdc646 | When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty, There arises the recognition of ugliness. When they all know the good as good, There arises the recognition of evil. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| a37cce2 | The moment her feet touched the floor, a chill ran up her spine. She was standing on her sweatshirt, which lay next to her bed in a crumpled pile. It was soaking wet. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 2ecf7cd | 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 sh.. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| a46050d | Shay's eyes flashed. "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." Tally" | Scott Westerfeld | ||

| 33da9c9 | Zane's costume surge had worn off; his lips returned to normal pretty fullness. Still, he always looked extreme in daylight. His face was all contrasts, his chin and cheekbones sharp, his forehead high. His skin was the same olive as everyone's, but in the sun, against his dark hair, it somehow looked pale. The operation guidelines wouldn't let you have jet-black hair, which the Committee thought was too extreme, but Zane dyed his with call.. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| 22303f1 | More important, she had someone else now. However unfair it was that her memories of David had been erased, Tally had built a whole new set of memories, and she couldn't just trade them in for the old ones. Zane and she had helped each other become bubbly, had been imprisoned by the cuffs together, and escaped the city together. She couldn't abandon him now, just because he had been robbed of part of his mind | Scott Westerfeld | ||

| ab9f508 | She wondered if if there was anyone out there, really, or if David was just some story the Uglies made up to scare each other. | Scott Westerfeld | ||
| e01fd7f | She started spending more time looking out the window than at her own reflection, as is often the case with troublesome girls. | Scott Westerfeld |
