    Todor Bombov
    “Just the class division of society creates two different, two parallel worlds/antipodes in this very society. And this means yet two polar models of behavior in the political life of the society—the democracy of the rich class is in fact a dictatorship for the poor one! In other words, the state is not of people and democracy is not for all.”
    ― Todor Bombov, Socialism Is Dead! Long Live Socialism!: The Marx Code-Socialism with a Human Face

    Max Nowaz
    “Being magnanimous in victory usually worked, but to keep abreast of the situation he had to 
pump the girl for all she knew. Was there a pang of remorse for his actions in his mind? 
Possibly, but what choice did he have? If he wanted to survive, he had no room for weakness.”

    Suzanne Collins
    “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.”
    ― Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire
