What does this mean? It means I get to spend the morning having the hair ripped off my body while Peeta sleeps in.
A mockingjay is a creature the Capitol never intended to exist.
Fine. Somebody else can arrange to get the stupid goat knocked up.
I look coolly in to the blue eyes of the person who is now my greatest opponent, the person who would keep me alive at his own expense. And I promise myself I will defeat his plan.
Just last year i wanted to kill him, but now it is my duty to save him.
So it's you and a syringe against the Capitol? See, this is why no one lets you make the plans.
Whatever it takes to break you.
A spark could be enough to set them ablaze.
Gale is mine. I am his. Anything else is unthinkable.
I mourn my old life here. We barely scraped by, but I knew where I fit in, I knew what my place was in the tightly interwoven fabric that was our life. I wish I could go back to it because, in retrospect, it seems so secure compared to now, when I am so rich and famous and so hated by the authorities in the capitol.
Just the sound of his voice twists my stomach into a knot of unpleasant emotions like guilt, sadness and fear. And longing. I might as well admit there's some of that too.
So that's who Finnick loves, I think. Not his string of fancy lovers in the Capitol. But a poor, mad girl back home.

The air's warm with hopeful hints of spring in it. Spring would be a good time for an uprising, I think. Everyone feels less vulnerable once winter passes.
You know, I think this is the first time we've ever done anything normal together.
And so I'm stupid for thinking they might be useful. Because of something Johanna Mason said while she was oiling her breasts for wrestling.
Hey, Finnick, come on in! We figured out how to make you pretty again!
