― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“Folks want to glow, to leave their worries and dead skin behind.”
― Terry McMillan, Getting to Happy

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay
