“Good-bye, Maysilee Donner, who I loathed, then grudgingly respected, then loved. Not as a sweetheart or even a friend. A sister, I’d said. But what is that exactly? I think about our journey — everything from sniping with her in those early days after the reaping to battling those pink birds. I guess that’s my answer. A sister is someone you fight with and fight for. Tooth and nail.”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

“But when I pull back, I taste the poison and know she is gone.”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

“...I can think of no realistic scenario in which he does not die. I can only hope that his death is quick and not in vain.”

“Now you’re home, I guess I can eat the others.” “What others?” I feed her another gumdrop. “The ones Sid brought me. I put them under my pillow.” “But . . .” I look down at the bag. It’s a normal bag, with the Donners’ label. Then I notice the gumdrops. Not a variety of colors. Not a rainbow. They’re all a deep bloodred.”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping
