What you have to understand, is your father was your model for God. If you're male and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God. And if you never know your father, if your father bails out or dies or is never at home, what do you believe about God? What you end up doing is you spend your life searching for a father and God. What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that can... Chuck Palahniuk
Suzanne Collins quote: "What does this mean? It means I get to spend the morning..."
What does this mean? It means I get to spend the morning having the hair ripped off my body while Peeta sleeps in. Suzanne Collins

There is no bleaker moment in life of the city than that one which crosses the boundary lines between those who have not slept all night and those who are going to work. It was for Sabina as if two races of men and women lived on earth, the night people and the day people, never meeting face to face except at this moment. Anais Nin
