Then I get it, what it means. At least, for me. District 12 only has three existing victors to choose from. Two male. One female... I am going back into the arena. Suzanne Collins
Eleanor Roosevelt quote: "We have reached a point today where labor-saving devices are..."
We have reached a point today where labor-saving devices are good only when they do not throw the worker out of his job. Eleanor Roosevelt

Elizabeth Gaskell quote: "I could wish there were a God, if it were only to ask him to..."
I could wish there were a God, if it were only to ask him to bless thee. Elizabeth Gaskell
I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to God. Jean-Paul Sartre
All arguments between the traditional scientific view of man as organism, a locus of needs and drives, and a Christian view of man as a spiritual being not only unresolvable at the present level of discourse but are also profoundly boring...
