“People don't need wings to survive"
"Mockingjays do.”

“The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the mockingjay. The one that survived despite the Capitol's plans. The symbol of the rebellion.”

“Feet, what do I need them for
If I have wings to fly.”

“Dying people don't need medicine, the ones who remain do.”

“People don't get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don't stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.”

“Intelligence is based on how efficient a species became at doing the things they need to survive.”

“I don't consider myself a politician or a hero. I'm a messenger. If Cambodia is to survive, she needs many voices.”

“People will do amazing things to ensure their survival.”

“I don't need the fame. I don't need the money. I don't need the sex. This is something that I do because I have to do it. ”

“[Modern capitalism] is masterful at producing services people don't need and in large part probably don't want. It is brilliant at convincing people that they do need and want them. But it has difficulty turning itself to the production of those services which people really do need. Not only that, it often spends an enormous amount of time and effort convincing people that those services are either unrealistic, marginal or counterproductive.”
