They can fatten me up. They can give me a full body polish, dress me up, and make me beautiful again. They can design dream weapons that come to life in my hands, but they will never again brainwash me into the necessity of using them. I no longer feel allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despite being one myself. Suzanne Collins
About This Quote

One of the most damaging effects of brainwashing is the ability to convince yourself that someone else is more important than you are. Brainwashed people obey without question, because they have completely lost sight of their own needs and desires. That’s one reason why brainwashing techniques are used in prisons, cults, and intelligence agencies. The idea is to make people dependent on others in order to keep them down.
