Leah: "He used to gnaw on the crib bars, too." Jake: "Lead paint?" Leah: "Looks like it." Seth: "Funny. Why don’t you two shut up and sleep?

• Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the thing that lies before us today?

• I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all the small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the fan.

• Truth usually makes no sense. If your desire is for everything to make perfect sense, then you should take refuge in fiction. In fiction, all threads tie together in a neat bow and everything moves smoothly from one point to the next to the next. In real life, though... nothing makes sense. Bad things happen to good people. The pious die young while the wicked live until old age. War, famine, pestilence, death all occur randomly and senselessly and leave us more often than not scratching our heads and hurling the question 'why?' into a void that provides no answers.

• I wrote poetry from the time I could write. That was the only way I could begin to express who I was but the poems didn't make sense to my teachers. They didn't rhyme. They were about the wind sounds, the planets' motions, never about who I was or how I felt. I didn't think I felt anything. I was this mind more than a body or a heart. My mind photographing the stars, hearing the wind.

• No shame in saying that I felt a loneliness drifting through me. Funny how it was, everyone perched in their own little world with the deep need to talk, each person with their own tale, beginning in some strange middle point, then trying so hard to tell it all, to have it all make sense, logical and final.

• A medida que nos adentramos en el círculo de la ciudad, veo que un par de estilistas han intentado robar a Cinna y Portia la idea de iluminar sus tributos. Los trajes con luces eléctricas del Distrito 3, donde fabrican aparatos electrónicos, al menos tienen sentido. Pero, ¿qué hacen los ganaderos del Distrito 10, vestidos de vacas, con cinturones en llamas? ¿Asándose? Patético.

• Realmente, ¿no tiene todo sentido? Por supuesto, hay cosas de las que más o menos nos recuperamos, aunque algunas son demasiado duras incluso para los santos. Pero eso no es motivo para acusar a Dios. Aunque haya razones para dudar de Él, el hecho de que no haya dispuesto el mundo como un salón bien ordenado no es una de ellas. Más bien habla en su favor. Esto solía entenderse mucho mejor.
