Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 Book 1 Quotes

Quotes

"Yes. There's always Cell 25."

a man on the phone, 1 Chopsticks and Spiders

It is from the first chapter where two people talk on the phone about two remaining missing kids. What they talk about is clear only later in the novel. We learn later that one of the men is Dr. Hatch and he is talking about Michael and Taylor. The conversation is about turning the two missing kids onto his side but they are already too old to manipulate. If nothing works there is always Cell 25 which we later learn is a cell of terror for punishing the disobedient ones, like Michael.

"I'm just tired of everyone picking on me all the time for no reason except they think they can. I'm tired of knowing I could stop them and I don't. You know who I hate more than them for picking on me? I hate myself for letting them. I'm tired of being a nobody."

Michael, 8 The Multimeter

Michael is confronted by his mother after she found out that he told Ostin and Taylor about his secret. He knows that she is only worried about him but he is upset and his true emotions come out. He's been burdened his entire life by not only having to keep his powers a secret but by his Tourette's as well which made him a target for bullying. But, Michael's fate is soon about to change and he will become something far from nobody.

"Change is always hard, but that doesn't mean it's not good. Usually the hard things in our life lead to good."

Dr. Hatch, 21 Dr. Hatch and the Twin

A credible and meaningful life message and it could be looked at in that way if it came from anyone else other than Dr. Hatch. But, it is in this way that he uses the facade of doing the hard work for greater cause to hide his evil intentions. He is a manipulator, and an extremely good one.
