"There are times I feel completely alone, like no one in the world can possibly understand me. . . Sometimes I feel so lonely and hopeless that I don't know what to do."

"But I can't say I have no future, because I know that every year for my birthday, I will get another pair of tributes, one girl and one boy, to mentor to their deaths. Another sunrise on the reaping."

"But Lenore Dove is the winged being on my mind at the moment. If there is anything after the life I'm about to lose, will I be with her again? Like the guy in her song, I'd sure like to know. But the Raven isn't giving the answer either of us wants to hear."

"She could fly around District 12 all she liked, but she and her mockingjays could never harm him again."

"You're mine and I'm yours. It's written in the stars."

"A falling star might one day have need of a rising one."

"A falling star might one day have a need of a rising one."

"He buried his head in his hands, confused, angry, and most of all afraid. Afraid of Dr. Gaul. Afraid of the Capitol. Afraid of everything. If the people who were supposed to protect you played so fast and loose with your life . . . then how did you survive? Not by trusting them, that was for sure. And if you couldn't trust them, who could you trust? All bets were off."

"The footsteps approach, one boot after another. Between one breath and the next the knock will come."

"Bearing false witness was not the exception, it was common. Beneath its outer show of virtue and purity, Gilead was rotting."

"What am I doing here? I thought. This place is weird as fuck."

"That's when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I've seen someone do. It's like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years. But there are much worse games to play."

"Maybe they so. But if Coin sent Peeta here, she's decided something else as well. That I'm more of use to her dead than alive."

"And that, my friends, is how a revolution dies."

"It's an awful lot to take in, this elaborate plan in which I was a piece, just as I was meant to be a piece in the Hunger Games. Used without consent, without knowledge. At least in the Hunger Games, I knew I was being played with."

"And so I step up, into the darkness within; or else the light."

"Was I right? Because we never talked about it. By the time I could have done that, I was afraid to. I couldn't afford to lose you."

I was just gonna re-read The Testaments, but as I was watching The Handmaid's Tale show I realized I should probably refresh my mind first. So here I am. No more Testaments until I finish this one I guess.

Re-reading this so I can watch the new Testaments show!!

"Now a new kind og confidence is lighting up inside of me, because I think I finally know who Haymitch is. And I'm beginning to know who I am. And surely, two people who have caused the Capitol so much trouble can think of a way to get Peeta home alive."

"No wonder I won the Games. No decent person ever does."

"I'm staring into the snakelike eyes of President Snow."

"Anything beyond that though . . . and I can feel Gale's gray eyes watching me watching Peeta, all the way from District 12."

"But I told Rue I'd be there. For both of us. And somehow that seems even more important than the vow I gave Prim."

"Sorry we're out of time. Best of luck, Katniss Everdeen, tribute from District Twelve."

"Silence. Which says we do not agree. We do not condone. All of this is wrong."

"A man could go mad. Most men would, unless they had faith. Unless they believed the ends justified the means."

"'Only that a woman gossips,' I mutter in his ear, 'and is fined enough money to buy three horses, but a man breaks laws, both divine and human, and walks out of the court with his hands in his pockets."

"I will never understand why men think that women work so hard to destroy them. In my experience it is usually the opposite."
