"It says so much about young people and their voice and what we can do when something’s wrong and we’re not quiet. People are such sheep. We always have been. We find some leader and if enough people believe them the rest will follow. Think about school and bullies and somebody hurting – can you not feel that when you see somebody’s picking on another kid and people are laughing? It’s very rare that an entire group of people can stand up and say, ‘That’s wrong,’ and start fighting back. That’s what this is about. It’s a girl who stands up for what’s right, even when it’s scary. People fall in love with that. It feels good."

“Let’s get you in the stream, wash you off so I can see what kind of wounds you’ve got,” I say.
“Lean down a minute first,” he says. “Need to tell you something.”
I lean over and put my good ear to his lips, which tickle as he whispers. “Remember, we’re madly in love, so it’s all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it.”
I jerk my head back but end up laughing. “Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind.”
“I don’t know how to say it exactly. Only…I want to die as myself. Does that make any sense? I don’t want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I’m not.”
“You’re still trying to protect me. Real or not real,” he whispers.
“Real,” I answer. “Because that’s what you and I do. Protect each other.”
100 Peeta Mellark Scenes/Mentions → 28. wrapped in each others arms
Effie starts giving me pills to sleep, but they don’t work. Not well enough. I drift off only to be roused by nightmares that have increased in number and intensity. Peeta, who spends much of the night roaming the train, hears me screaming as I struggle to break out of the haze of drugs that merely prolong the horrible dreams. He manages to wake me and calm me down. Then he climbs into bed to hold me until I fall back to sleep. After that, I refuse the pills. But every night I let him into my bed. We manage the darkness as we did in the arena, wrapped in each other’s arms, guarding against dangers that can descend at any moment.
