    “Finnick?" I say, "Maybe some pants?"
    He looks down at his legs as if noticing his outfit for the first time. Then he whips off his hospital gown leaving him in just his underwear. "Why? Do you find this" -- he strikes a ridiculously provocative pose -- "distracting?"
    I laugh. Boggs looks embarrassed and Finnick looks more like the guy I met at the Quarter Quell”
    Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    “Really, the combination of the scabs and the ointment looks hideous. I can't help enjoying his distress.
    "Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven't looked pretty?" I say.
    "It must be. The sensation's completely new. How have you managed it all these years?" he asks.
    "Just avoid mirrors. You'll forget about it," I say.
    "Not if I keep looking at you," he says.”
    Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

    Suzanne Collins
    “It's impossible to be the Mockingjay. Impossible to complete even this one sentence. Because now I know that everything I say will be directly taken out on Peeta. Result in his torture. But not his death, no, nothing so merciful as that. Snow will ensure that his life is much more worse than death.

    "Cut," I hear Cressida say quietly.

    "What's wrong with her?" Plutarch says under his breath.

    "She's figured out how Snow's using Peeta," says Finnick.

    There's something like a collective sigh of regret from that semicircle of people spread out before me. Because I know this now. Because there will never be a way for me to not know this again. Because, beyond the military disadvantage losing a entails, I am broken.

    Several sets of arms would embrace me. But in the end, the only person I truly want to comfort me is Haymitch, because he loves Peeta, too. I reach out for him and say something like his name and he's there, holding me and patting my back. "It's okay. It'll be okay, sweetheart." He sits me on a length of broken marble pillar and keeps an arm around me while I sob.

    "I can't do this anymore," I say.

    "I know," he says.”
    Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

    “But Mockingjays were never a weapon," said Madge. "They’re just songbirds. Right?"

    "Yeah, I guess so,” I said, But it’s not true. A mockingbird is just a songbird. A mockingjay is a creature the capitol never intended to exist. They hadn’t counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to thrive in a new form. They hadn’t anticipated its will to live.”
    Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

    “Katniss: I’m coming back into focus when Caesar asks him if he has a girlfriend back home.
    Peeta: (Gives an unconvincing shake of head.)
    Caesar: Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what’s her name?
    Peeta: Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping.
    Caesar: She have another fellow?
    Peeta: I don’t know, but a lot of boys like her.
    Caesar: So, here’s what you do. You win, you go home. She can’t turn you down, eh?
    Peeta: I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning… won’t help in my case.
    Caesar: Why ever not?
    Peeta: Because… because… she came here with me.
    Caesar: Oh, that is a piece of bad luck.
    Peeta: It’s not good.
    Caesar: Well, I don’t think any of us can blame you. It’d be hard not to fall for that young lady. She didn’t know?
    Peeta: Not until now.”
    Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

    Rick Riordan
    “Grover was sniffing the wind, looking nervous. He fished out his acorns and threw them into the sand, then played his pipes. They rearranged themselves in a pattern that made no sense to me, but Grover looked concerned.
    "That's us," he said. "Those five nuts right there."
    "Which one is me?" I asked.
    "The little deformed one," Zoe suggested.
    "Oh, shut up.”

    Rick Riordan
    “Hey!" said the guy in the video. "Greetings from your friends at Camp Half-Blood, et cetera. This is Leo. I'm the..." He looked off screen and yelled: "What's my title? Am I like admiral, or captain, or-"

    A girl's voice yelled back, "Repair boy."

    "Very funny, Piper," Leo grumbled. He turned back to the parchment screen. "So yeah, I'm...ah..supreme commander of the Argo II. Yeah, I like that! Anyway, we're gonna be sailing towards you in about, I dunno, an hour in this big mother warship. We'd appreciate it if you'd not, like, blow us out of the sky or anything. So okay! If you could tell the Romans that. See you soon. Yours in demigodishness, and all that. Peace out!”
    Rick Riordan, The Son of Neptune

    “I don't recommend shadow travel if you're scared of:
    a) The dark

    c) Strange noises
    d) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling off
    In other words, I thought it was awesome.”
