It crosses my mind that Cinna's calm and normal demeanor masks a complete madman.
From The Hunger Games
I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite.
From Catching Fire
Look, if you wanted to be babied you should have asked Peeta.
From Catching Fire
I just...I just miss him. And I hate being so alone.
From The Hunger Games
I'm going to wake Peeta," I say.
"No, wait," says Finnick. "Let's do it together. Put our faces right in front of his."
Well, there's so little opportunity for fun left in my life, I agree. We position ourselves on either side of Peeta, lean over until our faces are inches frim his nose, and give him a shake. "Peeta. Peeta, wake up," I say in a soft, singsong voice.
His eyelids flutter open and then he jumps like we've stabbed him. "Aa!"
Finnick and I fall back in the sand, laughing our heads off. Every time we try to stop, we look at Peeta's attempt to maintain a disdainful expression and it sets us off again.
From Catching Fire
What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.
From Mockingjay
Aim higher in case you fall short.
From Catching Fire
Shame isn't a strong enough word for what I feel.
"You could live a hundred lifetimes and not deserve him, you know," Haymitch says.
From Catching Fire
Don't. Don't let's pretend when there's no one around.
From The Hunger Games
Isn't it strange that I know you'd risk your life to save mine, but I don't even know what your favorite color is?
From Catching Fire
You could do a lot worse.
From Catching Fire
Remember, we're madly in love, so it's all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it.
From The Hunger Games
You can swim, too." he says. "Where did you learn that in District Twelve?"
"We have a very big bathtub.
There's a meeting in Command. Disregard your current schedule,' he says.
'Done,' I say.
'Did you follow it at all today?' he asks in exasperation.
'Who knows? I'm mentally disoriented.' I hold up my wrist to show my medical bracelet and realize it's gone.
'See? I can't even remember they took my bracelet.'
(Katniss and Boggs)
From Mockingjay
Not daring to flee since my general location has just been broadcast to any killer who cares. I mean, I know it's cold out here and not everybody has a sleeping bag.
From The Hunger Games
Yes, frosting. The final defense of the dying.
From The Hunger Games
No. Now, shut up and eat your pears.
From The Hunger Games
Katniss: 'What about you? Ive seen you in the market. You can lift hundred pound bags of flour'. I snap at him
Tell him that. Thats not nothing.
Peeta: Yes and Im sure the arena will be full of bags of flour for me to chuck at people.
From The Hunger Games
It made me realize how I needed to stop punishing her for something she couldn't help [...] because sometimes things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them.
From Catching Fire
Technically, I am unarmed. But no one should ever underestimate the harm that fingernails can do. Especially if the target is unprepared.
From Mockingjay
For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first.
From The Hunger Games
Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping, and she is the most precious thing I've ever known.
When I tell her this, she always says, "I love you like all-fire."
And I reply, "I love you like all-fire, too.
From L'Embrasement (Hunger Games) (French Edition) by Suzanne Collins
You here to finish me off, Sweetheart?
From The Hunger Games
The idea of being strong for someone else having never entered their heads, I find myself in the position of having to console them. Since I'm the person going in to be slaughtered, this is somewhat annoying.
