Knowing it and seeing it are two different things. - Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

"Slowly, with many lost days, I come back to life."

"Do you find this...distracting?"

"I must have loved you a lot."

"What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again."

"Sometimes when I'm alone, I take the pearl from where it lives in my pocket and try to remember the boy with the bread, the strong arms that warded off nightmares on the train, the kisses in the arena."
