"Our romance became a key strategy for our survival in the arena. Only it wasn't just a strategy for Peeta."

Previous Quote

Yes, victors are our strongest. They're the ones who survived the arena and slipped the noose of poverty that strangles the rest of us. They, or should I say we, are the very embodiment of hope where there is no hope. And now twenty-three of us will be killed to show how even that hope was an illusion.

— Suzanne Collins
