I have a message for President Snow. You can torture us and bomb us and burn our districts to the ground. But do you see that? Fire is catching. And if we burn, you burn with us!
We need to have the conversation our governments can’t.
We’re not the government. We get things done.
One thing is true of all governments: Their most reliable records are tax records.
You kill 100 fathers, you give 300 sons a reason to defy you.[to Aethelstan]

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Peace Corps types only stay around long enough to realize they’re not helping anyone. Government only wants to stay in power until they’ve stolen enough to go into exile somewhere else. And the rebels, they’re not sure they want to take over. Otherwise, they’d have to govern this mess.
Lane, Atlee, your government, my government, they’re all the same. We only think we’re fighting for the right side because that’s what we choose to believe.[to Ethan]
Governments change, the lies stay the same.
