Roxane GayI knew I was in love with The Hunger Games when I did not want to get off the treadmill
About This Quote
In The Hunger Games, the characters are constantly struggling against each other. In order to survive the games, they must use all of their mental and physical strength. Even though the Games may be tough, this quote suggests that we can always find our own personal reason to keep pushing even when we’re tired and sore and exhausted. The author of this quote also makes a very important distinction: true love is not something that you’re “in” or “out” of.
You can’t get out of it or fit it into a box where you can understand it. Love is an ache in your heart and soul that grows stronger with every passing moment.
