Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children’s lives to settle its differences.

Starve? Work like slaves? Send their kids to the reaping? You haven’t hurt people – you’ve given them an opportunity. They just have to be brave enough to take it.

Really, the combination of the scabs and the ointment looks hideous. I can’t help enjoying his distress.”Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven’t looked pretty?” I say.”It must be. The...

Anyone? On Snow’s visit before the Victory Tour, he challenged me to erase any doubts of my love for Peeta. “Convince me,” Snow said. It seems, under that hot pink sky with Peeta’s life in...

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...

That what I need to survive is not Gale’s fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means...

I want to tell the rebels that I am alive. That I’m right here in District Eight, where the Capitol has just bombed a hospital full of unarmed men, women and children. There will be...

Panem et Circenses translates into ‘Bread and Circuses.’ The writer was saying that in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power.

The numbness of his loss had passed, and the pain would hit me out of nowhere, doubling me over, racking my body with sobs. Where are you? I would cry out in my mind. Where...

Oh, no. It costs a lot more than your life. To murder innocent people?” says Peeta. “It costs everything you are.

I said that i would try to win, but to win for her.

I clench his hands to the point of pain. “Stay with me.”His pupils contract to pinpoints, dialate again rapidly, and then return to something resembling normalcy. “Always,” he murmurs.

You’ll never be able to let him go. You’ll always feel wrong about being with me.

Katniss: I’m coming back into focus when Caesar asks him if he has a girlfriend back home. Peeta: (Gives an unconvincing shake of head.)Caesar: Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come...

I no longer feel allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despise being one myself. I think that Peeta was onto something about us destroying one another and letting some decent species take over. Because...

As coal pressured into pearls by our weighty existence. Beauty that arose out of pain.

If there’s a more helpless feeling than trying to reach someone you love who’s trapped underground, I don’t know it.

Since I’ve been home I’ve been trying hard to mend my relationship with my mother. Asking her to do things for me instead of brushing aside any offer of help, as I did for years...

Does everyone look younger asleep?

I had to do that. At least once.

You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him.

That it’s no good loving me because I’m never going to get married anyway and he’d just end up hating me later instead of sooner.

Come on, then,” I say, pulling him into my room.It feels like a luxury, sleeping with Peeta again. I didn’t realize until now how starved I’ve been for human closeness. For the feel of him...

Frankly, our ancestors don’t seem much to brag about. I mean, look at the state they left us in, with the wars, the broken planet. Clearly, they didn’t care about what would happen to the...

You love me. Real or not real?

Katniss Everdeen, you have caused a spark, wich left unattended, may cause a spark that could cause a whole rebelion

Oh, yeah. Right up until I got shot,” I say.

Ali sigurno razumije. Sigurno zna da se dogodilo nezamislivo, i da će preživljavanje iziskivati nekad nezamislive poteze. Jer više sati kasnije, kad se probudim u svom krevetu, na mjesečini vidim da je i on ondje....

I always channel my emotions into my work. That way, I don’t hurt anyone but myself.

I can feel Peeta press his forehead into my temple and he asks, ‘So now that you’ve got me, what are you going to do with me?’ I turn into him. ‘Put you somewhere you...

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

To this day, I can never shake the connection between this boy, Peeta Mellark, and the bread that gave me hope, and the dandelion that reminded me that I was not doomed.

Sometimes when things are particularly bad, my brain will give me a happy dream. […] When I fully awaken, I’m momentarily comforted. I try to hold on to the peaceful feeling of the dream, but...

She’s dead, you stupid cat. She’s dead.
