They can turn me into some kind of martyr for the cause and paint my face on banners, and it will do more to rally people than anything I could do if I was living. But Peeta would be more valuable alive, and tragic, because he will be able to turn his pain into words that will transform people."

Precisely so: that is just what we intend."

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it."

"Hitherto men have always formed wrong ideas about themselves, about what they are and what they ought to be.
