'His hands gripped the door frame and his large physique filled the doorway. He was livid. Two splotches of red sat high on his cheeks and his t-shirt clung to his chest. Cat's eyes lingered a moment too long on that chest before she remembered her manners and made herself look up into his face.'

'Was it really just her visions that set her apart? Made her feel different? Wasn't it true, if she was honest with herself, that it was more than that? That she'd always felt out of place? Not quite present in her own skin?'

'As she puts the earrings on me, I feel a sense of total peace. And okay, it evaporates as soon as they leave the room and a little speaker on the bed tells me I'd be live in two minutes. But before that moment, I feel valued and loved. Here in a brothel.'

'The beginning of the year had seen me alone and trapped in a prison of my own making with no key to be found. Then a snowstorm had brought me my salvation.'

'These jagged lies I've told myself for the past year have rested comfortably beneath the delicate skin of truth. I can't allow them to pierce through to the surface. I can't allow myself to become a bloody mess again.'

'This aint our last goodbye. It's our last hello. I can feel it in my shattered heart; all through my weary bones. You're the missing piece, the final scrap. Someday we'll fit together; someday I'll bring you back.'

'What must it be like, I wonder,to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by? What do they do all day, these people in the Capitol, besides decorating their bodies and waiting around for a new shipment of tributes to roll in and die for their entertainment?

'The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the Mockingjay. The one that survived despite the Capitol's plans. The symbol of the rebellion.'

'I've endured the stench and agony of my mother's death. I've battled the loneliness of not having a home. I've survived willingly having over a piece of my soul to two complete strangers after losing the love of my life. I will survive this.'

'It's as if in an instant, a painted window shatters, revealing the ugly world behind it. Laughter changes to screams, blood stains pastel stones, real smoke darkens the special effect stuff made for television.

'At first she was nothing more than a distraction. Then she was a challenge. Now... now she's still a challenge, but she's something else, too. Something more. The thought has me shifting uncomfortably in my chair. I never do more. I never even want more.'

'Being with Carson, I don't sense that I'm on the verge of something disagreeable taking over. He's black and white, easy to read. He's either pissed or pleasant. I may not know why, but I can always read his emotions. By comparison, Dylan is made of many hues in between that I can't interpret.'

'I threw my arms around his neck and, for just a moment, let myself believe that it was months ago, and we were just two friends giving one another a moments comfort. But...we weren't. Our friendship had inflamed into passion, and, once ignited, that burn was impossible to turn back down.'

'Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out, like the rain.'

'She wrapped her arms around his chest and let the tears come...for Orion, for herself and for Lucas. She had the power over the most magnificent forces on Earth, but she still didn't feel like she had power over the most important thing of all - her own heart'.

'She could not have said what drew her attention, only that it was drawn, almost as if she were compelled to look at him. He was dressed somberly, in a black coat and trousers, black shoes. His hair was cut short. Deep auburn, it was burnished by the silver-yellow rays of the setting sun filtered through the darkening clouds, giving him the look of a fallen angel.'

'Truth, honesty,perseverance,strength, love of all kinds and forgiveness are all beautiful Tack. The most beautiful stories ever told are the most difficult to take.'

'It's crazy how being held by someone for just a few minutes can forever change how it feels not to be held by him. The second he releases his hold on you, it suddenly feels as if a part of you is missing.'

'Before the outbreak, there was never enough time. Now, the days dragged on, and I felt more and more alone, wondering if I was the only person left alive.'

'I stared into his icy blue eyes, entranced by the safety and comfort blanketing me, warming me. I couldn't look away. I wanted to tuck this feeling in my back pocket, take it home with me, and keep it safe under my pillow to have when I needed it most.'

'Jared indulged in my misery like it was candy. He had fed me to the wolves time and again,reveling in the unhappiness he caused. Jared, my friend, was completely gone, leaving a cold monster in his place.'

'The minute you glimpse a future that isn't entirely filled with loneliness and despair, the world becomes a different place. Maybe the world isn't black. Maybe it's more like a murky gray with flashes of color here and there. Blink and you'll miss them.'

'I follow her up the long aisle of the cathedral, the dazzling stained-glass window making a carpet of colour beneath my feet,as if I were walking over the sun in splendour. It strikes me it is the second time that my mother has presented me to a Queen of England. The first time I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever known. This time:the most ferocious.'

'He told me to be brave, and though I have stood still while knives spun toward my face, and jumped off a roof, I never thought I would need bravery in the small moments of my life. I do.'

'The Shadows. She sensed them before she saw them, bubbling up like tar from the ground. A tentacle of darkness curled around her wrist, and Luce looked down in terror.'

'It was daylight when we arrived back at my apartment. Everything was different. The way the early morning sun hung over the tress and how it always made the wind chimes hanging outside my neighbor's front door glisten and sparkle. The sunrise seemed darker, the reflected light on the shiny metal trinkets, lifeless.'

'Denial is thick and sweet, and for the past year it filled up my lungs until they threatened to burst. But truth...truth is clean and pure. And yes, it hurts when I inhale it, it hurts to cleanse out the sweet smoke, but breathing it out is like new life.'

[Rebecca]

'I may live in the royal palace, and sleep in one of the best rooms, I may be served with courtesy though without the bended knee that people must show to the royal family. But I live here quietly, without a court, without the usual crowd of flatters, friends and petitioners, without sight of the king:a princess without a crown, a betrothed without a bridegroom, a bride with no date for her wedding.'

'The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.'

'Katie slipped on her only pair of shoes, a pair of beat-up converse sneakers. The chest of drawers stood largely empty and there was almost no food in the kitchen, but as she stepped out of the house and into the sunshine and headed toward the store, she thought to herself, This is home.

'Bellamy opened his eyes. He was being ridiculous, he knew. The rain was only water, and there was no such thing as a clean start. That was the thing about secrets-you had to carry them with you forever, no matter what the cost.'

'People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them,but their motives are always hidden from you,buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.'
