Your favorite quote:
I have two. One comes from Catching Fire.
“My time in the arena made me realize how I needed to stop punishing her for something she couldn’t help, specifically the crushing depression she fell into after my father’s death. Because sometimes things happen to people and they’re not equipped to deal with them.”
The other is from Mockingjay.
“I want to tell the rebels that I am alive. That I’m right here in District Eight, where the Capital has just bombed a hospital full of unarmed men, women, and children. There will be no survivors. I want to tell people that if you think for one second the Capitol will treat us fairly if there’s a cease-fire, you’re deluding yourself. Because you know who they are and what they do. This is what they do! And we must fight back!
“President Snow says he’s sending us a message? Well, I have one for him. You can torture us and bomb us and burn our districts to the ground, but do you see that?
“Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!”
There’s also that amazing way that Finnick starts exposing everybody in the Capitol—including President Snow—but I can’t find the quote of it online and I can’t remember what page it’s on in the book. But it is just…so…amazing. They have to include it in the film. If they don’t, I will be sad, because it’s such a shining moment for him in which he takes himself back from his abusers.
