by Patrick Ness

Memorable Quotes by Todd Hewitt:
“Noise ain't truth.”
“The Noise is a man unfiltered, and without a filter, a man is just chaos walking.”
“We all fall. What matters is if we can get back up.”
“...Tho as far as I know no one's heard no Noise back from this God fella.”
“She presses a button on the side of the box and-whoosh-we've got ourselves a whole, full-sized, instant campfire. I just stand there like a fool, my mouth wide open. I want a campfire box.”
“But a knife ain't just a thing, is it? It's a choice, it's something you do. A knife says yes or no, cut or not, die or don't. A knife takes a decision out of your hand and puts it in the world and it never goes back again.”
“You might as well just crumple up the world I know and throw it away.”
“A knife makes no decisions, the hand holding it does.”
“'I think maybe everybody falls,' I say. 'I think maybe we all do. And I don't think that's the asking. I think the asking is whether we get back up again.'”
“When luck ain't with you, it's against you.”
“The noise is just tremendous. All-consuming, like a real thing you could taste and touch.So loud, Noise is obliterated.So loud, it's the quietest I've ever felt.”
“She hurts.I know all this.I know it's true.Cuz I can read her.I can read her Noise even tho she ain't got none.I know who she is.I know Viola Eade”
