Just last year i wanted to kill him, but now it is my duty to save him.

You know what I miss? More than anything? Coffee. -- Plutarch Heavensbee

if i win and you die, i dont have a home to go back to. you are my life.

Kind people have a way of working their way inside me and rooting there.

I know he was desperate. That makes people do all kinds of crazy things.

I take Peeta's face in my hands. "Don't worry. I'll see you at midnight.

Birds are settling down for the night, singing lullabies to their young.

Plants are tricky. Many are edible, but one false mouthful and your dead

Thinking like your prey. . . that's where you find their vulnerabilities.

How much energy they put into harming each other. How little into saving.

By the way, I know about the kiss." Then the door clicks shut behind him.

When you're in the arena...you just remember who the enemy is" - Haymitch

My lips are just forming his name when his fingers lock around my throat.

And it takes so much energy to stay angry with someone who cries so much.

I stand there, feeling broken and small, thousands of eyes trained on me.

You're punishing him over and over for things that are out of his control.

I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.

Either you came in here a swimmer or you'd better be a really fast learner

Do i really want him dead? What i want... what i want is to have him back.

It’s not wondering what I breathe in, but who, that threatens to choke me.

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker. It makes me sick, and I hate that.

I merely feel emptyness. A hollow of dead brush where flowers use to bloom.

Just the perfect touch of rebellion," says Haymitch "Very nice." Rebellion?

The cat that Prim got hates me, I think partly because I tried to drown it.

You're not going to die. I forbid it. All right?" "All right," he whispers.

Peeta smiles at me, sad and mocking. "Okay. Thanks for the tip, sweetheart.

so people really do tear out their hair and beat the ground with their fists

It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love.

deep in the meadow , under the willow , a bed of grass , a soft green pillow

This is what birds see. Only they're free and safe. The very opposite of me.

If you are not trying to hold on to time, you are not so afraid of losing it.

Desperate, yet no longer alone after that day, because we'd found each other.

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

They erase my face with a layer of pale makeup and draw my features back out.

Why am I hopping around like some trained dog trying to please people I hate?

They can't hurt me. I'm not like the rest of you. There's no one left I love.

Sometimes things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them.

They're betting on how long I'll live!' I burst out. 'They're not my friends!

Whatever the truth is, I don’t see how it will help me get food on the table.

What about you?" "Not a clue. I keep wishing I could bake a cake or something.

This was the door to both sustenance and sanity. And we were each other's key.

For a second, I'm afraid he's dying. I have to remind myself that I don't care.

Maybe I'll be like that man in "The Hanging Tree'. Still waiting for an answer.

Yes. I killed him. And buried her in flowers," I say. "And I sang her to sleep.

How could I leave Prim, who is the only person in the world I’m certain I love?

I just don't want them to change me, if I'm going to die I still want to be me.

Sometimes when things are particularly bad, my brain will give me a happy dream.

I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever.

For me, it's better to wake up with a paintbrush than a knife in my hand. -Peeta

My nightmares are usually about losing you. I'm okay once I realize you're here.
