“Everyone is guilty of something, and everyone still cherishes a memory of childhood innocence, no matter how many layers of life are wrapped around it. Humanity is innocent; humanity is guilty, and both states are undeniably true.”

“Perhaps that is why we have to keep a register by law. A public magazine that testifies to those who will never die and those who are yet to be born, why we humans do the things we do. We are instructed to write down not only our actions, but also our feelings, because it should be known that we have feelings. Repentance. Regret. Sadness too great to bear. Because if we didn't feel those things, what kind of monsters would we be?
~ Neal Shusterman, Scythe, from H.S. Curie, Chapter 1, page 3

“People used to die naturally. Old age used to be a terminal condition, not a temporary condition. There were invisible killers called "diseases" that broke down the body. Aging could not be reversed and there were accidents from which there was no return. Planes fell from the sky. Cars really crashed. There was pain, misery, despair. It's hard for most of us to imagine a world so unsafe, with dangers lurking in every unseen, unplanned corner. All that is behind us now, and yet one simple truth remains: people must die. It"

Scythe quotes and page numbers chapters 11-20
“I think about religion and how once we became our own saviors, our own gods, most religions became irrelevant. What must it have been like to believe in something bigger than yourself? To accept imperfection and watch a soaring vision of everything we could never be? It must have been comforting. It must have taken people out of the mundane, but also justified all kinds of evil. I often wonder if the bright benefit of faith outweighs the darkness its misuse can bring.
~ Neal Shusterman, Scythe, from H.S. Curie, Chapter 11, page 118

“I wonder what life will be like in a millennium, when the average age will be closer to a thousand. Will we all be renaissance children, skilled in every art and science, having had time to master them? Or will boredom and slavish routine torment us even more than today, leaving us less reason to live limitlessly? I dream of the former, but I suspect the latter.”
~Neal Shusterman, Scythe, The Narrator, Chapter 13, page 144

~Neal Shusterman, Scythe, The Narrator, Chapter 15, page 158
“If you've ever studied cartoons about mortal age, you'll remember this one. A coyote always plotted the demise of a grinning long-necked bird. The coyote never succeeded; instead, his plans always failed. He would explode, or be shot down, or splash from a ridiculous height.
And it was funny.
Because no matter how deadly his failure, he was always back in the next scene, as if there was a revival center just beyond the edge of the animation cell.
I have seen human frailties resulting in temporary mutilation or momentary loss of life. People trip into pits, get hit by falling objects, trip over the paths of speeding vehicles.
And when it happens, people laugh, because as gruesome as the event is, that person, like the coyote, will be back in a day or two, as good as new, and no worse - or wiser - for the wear and tear.
Immortality has turned us all into cartoons.”
~ Neal Shusterman, Scythe, Chapter 18, page 192

“Human nature is both predictable and mysterious; prone to great and sudden claims, yet entangled in despicable self-interest.”

“A lot has been written about killers from mortal times — monsters like Jack the Ripper, or Charlie Manson, or Cyber Sally — and the only difference between them and Goddard is that people let Goddard get away with it. The mortals knew how wrong it was, but somehow we forgot.

~Neal Shusterman, Scythe, The Narrator, Chapter 33, page 372
“The longer we live, the faster the days seem to go by. How difficult is that when we live forever. A year seems to pass in a few weeks. Decades fly by with no milestones to mark them.

Cutting the arc of a rainbow,
I am the clapper but you are the bell
Collecting dark spinning tops.
If you're the singer, then I'm the song
A threnody, requiem, lamentation.
You drove me crazy, the answer to all the needs of the world,
The Immortal Urge of Mankind”
From the collected works of H.S. Socrates~ Neal Shusterman, Scythe, Chapter 38, page 415
