Eloise Smith

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“Only I keep wishing I could think of a way...to show the Capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
