Can't pick just one, so here they are. "Then I remember Peeta's words on the roof. "Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to... to 显示 the Capitol that they don't own me. That I'm 更多 than just a piece in their Games." And for the first time, I understand what he means. I want to do something, right here, right now, to shame them, to make them accountable, to 显示 the Capitol that whatever they do 或者 force us to do there is a part of every tribute that they can't own. That Rue was 更多 than just a piece in their Games. And so am I." -Katniss Everdeen, the Hunger Games. ""It was all for the Games" Peeta says. "How 你 acted." "Not all of it," I say, tightly holding on to my flowers."" -Katniss Eerdeen and Peeta Melark, The Hunger Games. "All of who I am lays in a handful of berries. If I held out those berries because I knew that if Peeta died I wouldn't be able to face District 12 again then I am despicable. If I held them out because I 爱情 Peeta then I am selfish, but forgivable. But if I held those berries out to defy the Capitol, then I truly am someone of worth." -Katniss Everdeen, Catching Fire. ""Just this one time, I let 你 go. For the little girl. 你 and me, we're even then. No 更多 owed. 你 understand?" "You better run now, 火, 消防 Girl."" -Thresh, The Hunger Games. "My head snaps around at the hiss, but it takes awhile to believe he's real. How could he have gotten here? I take in the claw marks from some wild animal, the back paw he holds slightly above the ground, the prominent 识骨寻踪 in his face. He's come on foot, then, all the way from 13. Maybe they kicked him out 或者 maybe he just 识骨寻踪 in his face. He's come on foot, then, all the way from 13. Maybe they kicked him out 或者 maybe he just couldn't stand it there without her, so he came looking. "It was the waste of a trip. She's not here, " I tell him. Buttercup hisses again. "She's not here. 你 can hiss all 你 like. 你 won't find Prim. " At her name, he perks up. Raises his flattened ears. Begins to meow hopefully. "Get out!" He dodges the 枕头 I throw at him. "Go away! There's nothing left for 你 here!" I start to shake, furious with him. "She's not coming back! She's never ever coming back here again!" I grab another 枕头 and get to my feet to improve my aim. Out of nowhere, the tears begin to pour down my cheeks. "She's dead. " I clutch my middle to dull the pain. Sink 380down on my heels, rocking the pillow, crying. "She's dead, 你 stupid cat. She's dead. " A new sound, part crying, part singing, comes out of my body, giving voice to my despair. Buttercup begins to wail as well. No matter what I do, he won't go. He circles me, just out of reach, as wave after wave of sobs racks my body, until eventually I fall unconscious." -Katniss Everdeen, Mockingjay.
