“It’s always been this way. There were rumors about me even before I was born. It’s why my mother never calls me Sobachka. She says it makes me sound like a mongrel.”

“I like mongrels,” I said. “They have cute floppy ears.”
“My ears are very dignified.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

“Destroying things is much easier than making them.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“Kind people have a way of working their way inside me and rooting there.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
