- "katniss is a survivor, and she's a protector. she's a person who creates family everywhere she goes and a person who loves fiercely - but she lives in a brutal world, a world in which she cannot protect the ones she loves, a world in which survival - and living without her loved ones - is more of a curse than it is a blessing."
- "..in it, buffy sacrifices her own life to save her sister, and right before she does, she tells her sister that the hardest thing to do in the world is to live.."
- "your heart is a weapon the size of your fist. keep fighting. keep loving."
- "more than bombs, fire, guns or arrows, love is the most powerful weapon in the hunger games. it stirs and feeds the rebellion. it saves the doomed. it destroys the bereaved. and it gives even the most devastated survivors a reason to go on."
- " 'love' is not synonymous with 'passion'. hatred is also a passionate emotion. when i say 'love' here, i mean compassion, loyalty, empathy, and the bonds of friendship, family and romance."
- "love when there isn't supposed to be love is a hugely subversive political act."
- "when the love you feel is against the law of those in control, then love is a political act. it's true in the real world, true in nineteen eighty-four, and true in the hunger games."
- "our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. it is the very last inch of us. ... an inch, it is small and it is fragile, but it is the only thing in the world worth having. we must never lose it or give it away. we must never let them take it from us."
