Nicholas: Oh, Alix, You're Smiling! What At?

Nicholas: Oh, Alix, you're smiling! What at?

Alexandra: Oh, nothing. Life is misery.

Alexandra: Not everyone's a social butterfly, Maria. For some of us, human interaction is... difficult.

Maria: Not calling it human interaction might help...

Joséphine: Whether I'm gonna curse you out or take you back to my house, I haven't decided yet, but I'm gonna get you back.

Peeta having to ask Katniss - after being married and having kids for years at this point - if she loves him, because the brainwashing and trauma is so deep rooted and irreversible, keeps me up at night.

It is by far one of the most tragic stories I have ever read or heard of. You shouldn't have to fear the woman you love, the mother of your children, because the government tried to use you as a weapon against your will.

People seem to miss that point whenever they talk about the books and movies. It's never been a happy ending for any of them. Peeta brainwashed, Katniss traumatised and exiled, their kids growing up and playing on top of mass graves and Haymitch going back to being a lonely alcoholic. To name a few.

All that fighting, and for what?

thinking about how if gavrilo princip had shot sophie first he might not have shot franz at all. franz being shot isn't a human life to him it's an assignment of sorts. but sophie being shot? this wasn't supposed to happen. franz begging her to stay alive for the children, using his pet name for her, this is a human life. and if that had happened he might have been so shaken by it he 'chickened out', as it were, and didn't take that second shot

Louise: Look, Steffi, you're obviously upset about Rudolf. So, we've decided to come over and help you out.

Clémentine: Sis, we found you in the park throwing rocks at old couples.

Stéphanie: WHY SHOULD THEY BE HAPPY?
