“And itâ€™s all my fault, Gale. Because of what I did in the arena. If I had just killed myself with those berries, none of this wouldâ€™ve happened. Peeta could have come home and lived, and everyone else would have been safe, too.â€ â€œSafe to do what?â€ he says in a gentler tone. â€œStarve? Work like slaves? Send their kids to the reaping? You havenâ€™t hurt people â€“ youâ€™ve given them an opportunity. They just have to be brave enough to take it.”
“Who knows nothing base, Fears nothing known.”
“I love the smell of Waffle House; it's the smell of freedom, being on the open road and knowing that ninety percent of the people eating around you are also on that road. Truck driver's, road-trippers, hangovers--those who don't live that monotonous life of society slavery.”

“It is easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern America's favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats possess so many of the same qualities as people that it is often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.”
“The shortstop is a perfectly conditioned athlete. You're running out on relays all the time. You're covering second base. On every pitch, you're moving.”
“You just don't make decisions about what you're going to be like when you are old. I know that I am making that decision right now. Every time we perceive ourselves, others, life, the world and God in a certain way, we are deepening the habits that will take over in old age. Every time I act on the insights that I am getting now I am deciding my future and choosing to be a kindly or cynical old man. Our yesterdays lie heavily upon our todays and our todays will lie heavily upon our tomorrows.”
“In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible.”
