Death Quote by Suzanne Collins
““Anyway, she thinks we're going to be all right. Like she says, a positive attitude is ninety-seven percent of the battle." This is so astonishingly self-absorbed, in the face of our impending deaths, that I don't even know how to respond. Maysilee, on the other hand, doesn't miss a beat. "I'll try to keep that in mind in the arena. More ice cream?””
