― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“The way I see it, hard times aren't only about money, or drought, or dust. Hard times are about losing spirit, and hope, and what happens when dreams dry up.
And I'm learning, watching Daddy, that you can stay in one place and still grow.”
― Karen Hesse, Out of the Dust

“And she knows how to come into a home
and not step on the toes of a ghost.”
― Karen Hesse, Out of the Dust
