The Maze Runner Chapter 28 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)
"I know you don't remember anything, Thomas! Quit sayin' that—don't ever say it again. None of us remember anything, and we're bloody sick of you reminding us. The point is there's something different about you and it's time we figured it out." (28.27)
To be fair, Thomas is kind of like a broken record. But come on—he's only been there a few days at this point, while everyone else has had some time to adjust to this strange situation. Maybe if they answered some of his questions he'd quit belly-achin' so much.
Quote 2
Stronger recognition briefly tickled the back of his mind—a flutter of wings in a dark corner, unseen but there all the same. It lasted only an instant before vanishing into the abyss of his other captured memories. But he had felt something. (28.64)
Ever have that happen to you? Like when you're meeting someone for the second time and for the life of you, you cannot remember their name? But it's sitting right there, on the tip of your tongue… oh dang it. Nope. Who are you?
Quote 3
"That shank threatened to kill you and we have to make bloody sure it never happens again. That shuck-face is gonna pay a heavy price for acting like that—he's lucky we don't Banish him. Remember what I told you about order." (28.14)
Yeah, yeah, we remember. Gotta keep the order. Gee, obsess much, Newt?
Quote 4
Thomas was overwhelmed by a surge of anger. "Fine, so how do we do it? I want to know who I am just as much as anyone else. Obviously. […] Thomas paused, upset and suddenly embarrassed. What did it all mean? Was he different from everyone else somehow? Was something wrong with him? (28.28, 34)
What if his fears were true? Haven't we all felt this way at one time or another? Especially during adolescence, it's incredibly common to feel like there's something wrong with us, like we will never truly fit in. It kind of blows our minds to think that if we could all admit to this feeling at the same time, then we'd all be fitting in together.
Quote 5
Who was she? The irony of the question struck him—he didn't even know who he was. (28.69)
Yeah dude, figure out your own issues first before laying into someone else. Don't throw stones in glass houses, or something.
