“The arena is the best place to showcase what science and technology can do to keep Panem's people in their proper place.”

"Coriolanus felt sure he'd spotted his first mockingjay, and he disliked the thing on sight."

"He'd loved the unfamiliar sense of safety that their defeat had brought. The security that could only come with power. The ability to control things. Yes, that was what he loved best of all."

"In any scenario, it's preferable to have the upper hand, to be the victor rather than the defeated."

"One way or another, their fates were irrevocably linked."

"What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again."

“I no longer feel any allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despise being one myself. I think that Peeta was onto something about us destroying one another and letting some decent species take over. Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children’s lives to settle its differences.”

"As I drift off, I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Capitol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta's child could be safe."
