Never Fade (The Darkest Minds, #2)

by Alexandra Bracken

“I don’t want to just see someone’s face; I want to know his shadow, too.”

That wasn’t always how infections worked. Sometimes the rot spread too far to be removed with one single cut.

Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?”

You aren’t responsible for what other people do, good or bad.

You don’t have to find meaning in it; you don’t have to try to change things. You just have to accept the things that are out of your hands and try to take care of yourself. That’s your job.
