Quote #10

There's nothing patronizing in [Beetee's] voice, and yet I can't help thinking he reminds me of a schoolteacher about to ease children into a lesson. Perhaps it's the age difference, or simply that Beetee is probably about a million times smarter than the rest of us. (25.18)

Put this together with the others' skills, like Katniss' hunting prowess, and you've got a formidable team.
