“Trust is important.” “I think it’s more important than love. I mean, I love all kinds of things I don’t trust. Thunderstorms . . . white liquor . . . snakes. Sometimes I think I love them because I can’t trust them, and how mixed up is that?”
― Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

“You can try your hardest to change something - exhaust every possibility- and sometimes it's still not enough.
But almost means you were there. You did all you could.
In the end, it's the smallest decisions that matter the most.
The seemingly insignificant choices we make every day-
To be honest with the people we love and ourselves-
To let go of the things we can't control, and appreciate the things we can.
Sometimes it's hard to see how much these things mean.
But they add up.
They mean everything.”
― Justin A. Reynolds, Opposite of Always

“Good-bye, District Twelve. Good-bye, hanging tree and Hunger Games and Mayor Lipp. Someday something will kill me, but it won’t be you.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

“When we're in pain, people are too quick to say, Get over it, move on, it's not that bad. But we don't get over grief by denying it. We have to feel it. We have to give it its due. Somethings that means doing the exact opposite of "moving on." We have to dive down to the very depths of our sorrow, relive every terrible moment, and endure the torture of asking what could have been - and what will now be. We have to bleed out before our hearts can start beating again.”
― Claudia Gray, A Million Worlds with You
