The Maze Runner Chapter 24 Quotes

How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)

Gally > Thomas

Quote 1

"I think he's a spy from the people who put us here." […] "We can't trust this shank," he continued. […] "There's too many weird things going on, and it all started when this shuck-face Greenie showed up. And he just happens to be the first person to survive a night out in the Maze. Something ain't right," (24.50-54)

When you know you're being played with, it's hard to trust anybody. It's also pretty easy to lay the blame on the nearest scapegoat. That goat really should avoid these situations.

Zart

Quote 2

"Well," Zart began, his eyes darting around almost like he was waiting for someone else to tell him what to say. "I don't know. He broke one of our most important rules. We can't just let people think that's okay." (24.14)

There can't be rules without consequences for breaking them… which is exactly how "grounding" came into being.

Newt

Quote 3

"Reason we're here is because almost every lovin' kid in the Glade has come up to me in the last day or two either boohooing about Thomas or beggin' to take his bloody hand in marriage. We need to decide what we're gonna do with him." (24.10)

When the townsfolk start demanding justice, you know you're in trouble—it's only a matter of time before you're facing pitchforks and angry mobs.
