We could kill all the other countries. Easily.But there would be nothing left,not us,not them.We are just scorpions in a jar.Killing them means killing us.
I want everyone watching – whether you're on the Capitol or the rebel side – to stop for just a moment and think about what this war could mean. For human beings. We almost went extinct fighting one another before. Now our numbers are even fewer. Our conditions more tenuous. Is this really what we want to do? Kill ourselves off completely? In the hopes that – what? Some decent species will inherit the smoking remains of the earth?' -Peeta mellark
