"I trust you because you have that look on your face that says you mean it when you know hunger and hardship. I don't know where Paris is but where I come from, we're all poor. We're all just trying to survive. I know people who've sold their hair or their teeth before."

Katniss falls a little quiet. "If you were really hungry and you were a pretty girl, you'd go to the Head Peacekeeper's house and sell yourself for a meal. I was never old enough to do that when he was alive but if I had been, I probably would have done it for my sister. I'd starve before I let her starve."
