“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 ever 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.”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

“They hang the man and flog the woman
Who steals the goose from off the common,
Yet let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.”

“But how will she ever know that was only a teaspoon of trouble in my river of wrong?”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

“Sometimes she cries because things are so beautiful and we keep messing them up. Because the world doesn't have to be so terrifying. That's on people, not the world.”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

“It'd be like we did it together. Painted a poster that no one could ignore.”

“A dead mockingjay chick, eyes still bright, feathers blue-black in the sunlight, clawed feet empty, on a bed of moss. Lenore Dove stroked its plumage with her fingertip. "Poor baby . . . poor little bird . . . who will sing your songs now?”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

“I run my finger over the fine metalwork of the feathered neck. "I wouldn't want to ruin it."
"You won't. That's what it's made for." She touches the snake's head, then the bird's, in turn. "It takes a lot to break these two. They're survivors.”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

“Where am I, Lenore Dove? Where are you, my only love?”
― SUZANNE COLLINS, Sunrise on the Reaping
