There will be no survivors. [... ] I want to tell people that if you think for one second the Capitol will treat us fairly if there's a cease-fire, you're deluding yourself. Because you know who they are and what they do. [... ] This is what they do! And we must fight back! [... ] President Snow says he's sending us a message? Well, I have one for him.

“They can't hurt me. I'm not like the rest of you. There's no one left I love.”

"Why ever not?" says Caesar, mystified. Peeta blushes beet red and stammers out. "Because... because... she came here with me."
