    Suzanne Collins
    “Are you afraid now?" said Gregor.
    "At times," she admitted. "But it is no worse than if I were in Regalia. You see, I was tired of constant fear, so I made a decision. Everyday when I wake I tell myself it will be my last. If you are not trying to hold on to time, you are not so afraid of losing it."
    Gregor thought this was the single saddest thing anyone had ever said to him. He couldn't answer.
    "And then, if you make it to bedtime, you feel the joy of cheating death out of one more day," she said. "Do you see?”
    ― Suzanne Collins, Gregor the Overlander
