I say we try it,' says Peeta. 'Katniss is right.' Finnick looks at Johanna and raises his eyebrows. He will not go forward without her. 'All right,' she says finally. 'It's better than hunting them down in the jungle, anyway. And I doubt they'll figure out our plan, since we can barely understand it ourselves.

I go back to my room and lie under the covers, trying not to think of Gale and thinking of nothing else.
Suzanne Collins
Image
What do I mean when I say I love Gale? I don't know. I did kiss him last night, in a moment when my emotions were running so high. But I'm sure he doesn't remember it. Does he? I hope not. If he does, everything will just get more complicated and I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite.

I'll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in anything because I'm afraid it could be taken away.

I'm not their slave, the man mutters. I am, I say. That's why I killed Cato ... and he killed Thresh ... and he killed Clove ... and she tried to kill me. It just goes around and around, and who wins? Not us. Not the districts. Always the Capitol. But I'm tired of being a piece in their Games.

But Gale is not one to keep secrets from me. Katniss, there is no District Twelve.

Aim higher in case you fall short.

I'm running on hate. When the energy from that ebbs I'll be worthless.
Suzanne Collins

What? My head doctor says I'm not supposed to censor my thoughts. It's part of my therapy.
Suzanne Collins
Image
Well, I can't leave Mags behind, says Finnick. She's one of the few people who actually likes me.
Suzanne Collins
Image
Got it, I say. Did you tell Peeta this? Don't have to, says Haymitch. He's already there.
Suzanne Collins
Image
They can pump whatever they want into my arm but it takes more than that to keep a person going once she's lost the will to live.

I'm not flailing now, as my muscles are rigid with the tension of holding myself together.
Suzanne Collins
Image
But the only thing that distracts me from my current situation is fantasizing about killing President Snow.
Suzanne Collins
Image
They can fatten me up. They can give me a full body polish, dress me up, and make me beautiful again. They can design dream weapons that come to life in my hands, but they will never again brainwash me into the necessity of using them. I no longer feel allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despite being one myself.
