Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)

by Suzanne Collins

“Better not to give in to it. It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.”

I am Cinna’s bird, ignited, flying frantically to escape something inescapable. The feathers of flame that grow from my body. Beating my wings only fans the blaze. I consume myself, but to no end.
