    “I'm so sorry," I whisper. I lean forward and kiss him.
    His eyelashes flutter and he looks at me through a haze of opiates. "Hey, Catnip."
    "Hey, Gale," I say.
    "Thought you'd be gone by now," He says.
    My choices are simple. I can die like a quarry in the woods or I can die here beside Gale. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble."
    "Me, too," Gale says. He just manages a smile before the drugs pull him back under.”

    “What about Gale?"
    "He's not a bad kisser either," I say shortly.
    "And it was okay with both of us? You kissing the other?" He asks.
    "No. It wasn't okay with either of you. But I wasn't asking your permission," I tell him.
    Peeta laughs again, coldly, dismissively. "Well, you're a piece of work, aren't you?”

    “The idea of being strong for someone else having never entered their heads, I find myself in the position of having to console them. Since I'm the person going in to be slaughtered, this is somewhat annoying.”

    “I roll my eyes. "So when did I become so special? When they carted me off to the Capitol?"
    "No, about six months before that. Right after New Year's. We were in the Hob, eating some slop of Greasy Sae's. And Darius was teasing you about trading a rabbit for one of his kisses. And I realized...I minded.”

    “Fine. I'll train. But I'm going to the stinking capitol if I have to kill a crew and fly there myself." Says Johanna.

    I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
    “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
