But if you want to find peace, you must first be able to hope it is possible.

That was the first time I ever saw him smile. It transformed him from someone menacing to someone you wished you knew.
firsts pay hardest
It's the first gift that's always the hardest to pay back.

Living out here, I have found that many creatures would prefer not to fight. But if your first instinct is to reach for your sword, you will never discover that.
pay firsts hardest
Besides, it's the first gift that's always the hardest to pay back. I wouldn't even have been here to do it if you hadn't helped me then.
lonely comforting firsts
I realize, for the first time, how very lonely I've been in the arena. How comforting the presence of another human being can be.

It’s the first time I’ve ever kissed a boy, which should make some sort of impression I guess, but all I can register is how unnaturally hot his lips are from the fever.

brings draw grows incredible later lived lottery name people pretend
I loved 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.' I read it later as an adult, but I loved 'We Have Always Lived in a Castle.' And that brings you around to 'The Lottery.' You can't pretend - it's a lottery in which you draw a name and people die. That's a short story, but it's such an incredible short story.

I have a pretty big TV background, and I have clocked so many hours in so many writers' rooms over the years.
enhance finished individual opportunity pieces turned
I've just had the opportunity to see the finished film of 'The Hunger Games.' I'm really happy with how it turned out. I feel like the book and the film are individual yet complementary pieces that enhance one another.
