‘I know one thing, though: The Capitol can never take Lenore Dove from me again. They never really did in the first place. Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping, and she is the most precious thing I’ve known.
When I tell her that, she always says, “I love you like all-fire.”
And I reply. “I love you like all-fire, too.”’

‘Maysilee Donner, former owner of the mockingjay pin.’

‘Tough and smart, her hair in two braids then, reminding me for all the world of Louella McCoy, my sweetheart of old.’

‘The strangest visit involved Louella and Lou Lou, dressed in identical outfits, sitting across the table from me while I peel and eat a bowl of hard-boiled eggs. “Which of us is which?” they ask me. But the Capitol has won. I can’t tell them apart.’ :(

‘This time it works, Ampert. Loose cannon going off, Louella. Wyatt. Lou Lou. Wellie. I pinkie swear, Maysilee. Pay attention, Panem. Newcomers land on top.’

‘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.’

‘I remember my pa saying, if you can get people to laugh at someone, it makes them look weak.’

‘Like she says, a positive attitude is ninety-seven percent of the battle.’

‘Games or no Games, if you’ve got a decent bone in your body, you hate a bully.’

“I love you like all-fire.”
“You, too.”
