But a shift has occurred since I stepped up to take Prim’s place, and now it seems I have become someone precious. At first one, then another, then almost every member of the crowd touches...

Stay with me.Always.

It’s my new best friend, Claudius Templesmith, and as I expected it, he’s inviting us to a feast.

I know I’ll never marry, never risk bringing a child into the world. Because if there’s one thing being a victor doesn’t guarantee, it’s our children’s safety. My kids’ names would go right into the...

Peeta actually is charming and then utterly winning as the boy in love. And there I am, blushing and confused, made beautiful by Cinna’s hands, desirable by Peeta’s confession, tragic by circumstance, and by all...

bueno, hay una chica, llevo enamorado de ella desde que tengo uso de razón, pero estoy bastante seguro de que ella no sabia nada de mi hasta la cosecha.

It costs a lot more than your life. To murder innocent people? It costs everything you are.

So it’s you and a syringe against the Capitol? See, this is why no one lets you make the plans.

‎I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble.

Frankly, I could use a little sugarcoating.

Katniss: ‘What about you? Ive seen you in the market. You can lift hundred pound bags of flour’. I snap at himTell him that. Thats not nothing.Peeta: Yes and Im sure the arena will be...

Only.. I want to do die as myself

Even in war there should be lines you didn’t cross.

What do we do know?(Peeta)I guess we try to forget…(Katniss)I don’t want to forget.(Peeta)

the boldest form of dissent they can manage. Silence. Which says we do not agree. We do not condone. All of this is wrong.

I can’t,” he says.

The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the mockingjay. The one that survived despite the Capitol’s plans. The symbol of the rebellion.

And once we reach the city, my stylist will dictate my look for the opening ceremonies tonight anyway. I just hope I get one who doesn’t think nudity is the last word in fashion.

I just…I just miss him. And I hate being so alone.

You could do a lot worse.

She’s Prim’s size in diameter.

He hates me more,” says Peeta. “I don’t think people in general are his sort of thing.

I act delighted, but I have zero interest in these Capitol people. They are only distractions from the food.

Peeta” I said “Stay with me”I heard him say one word before the drigs pulled me under, I realised later that what he said was ‘always

And when again it’s morning, they’ ll wash away. Here it’s safe, here it’s warm Here the daisies guard you from every harm

Destroying things is much easier than making them.

You know, you’re kind of squeamish for such a lethal person

My little sister, Prim, curled up on her side, cocooned in my mother’s body, their cheeks pressed together. In sleep, my mother looks younger, still worn but not so beaten-down. Prim’s face is as fresh...

Technically, I am unarmed. But no one should ever underestimate the harm that fingernails can do. Especially if the target is unprepared.

You don’t have much competition anywhere.” And this time, it’s me who leans in.

I’ll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in anything because I’m afraid it could be taken away.

My children, who don’t know they play on a graveyard.

Live your life, take chances, be crazy. Dont wait ’cause right now is the oldest you’ve ever been & the youngest you’ll be ever again

Deep in the meadow, under the willowa bed of grass, a soft green pillow lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyesand when again they open, the sun will rise.Hear it’s safe, here it’s...

Entrails. No hissing. This is the closest we will ever come to love.

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

And then it happens. Up and down the row, the victors begin to join hands. Some right away, like the morphlings, or Wiress and Beetee. Others unsure but caught up in the demands of those...

Peeta. Blut wie Regentropfen am Fenster. Wie feuchte Erde an den Stiefeln.

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.

She needs to wake up,” said Boots. “Hazard is crying. When does she wake up?” Gregor could not find it within him to give his standard reply. To pretend that in a short time Thalia...

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

Katniss. I remember about the bread.

But more words tumble out. ‘You’re a painter. You’re a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces.’Then I dive into...

You never forget the face of the person who was your last hope. -Katniss Everdeen

One more time? For the audience?” he says. His voice isn’t angry. It’s hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me.I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing...

it takes one to know one

He’s dozed off again, but I kiss him awake, which seems to startle him. Then he smiles as if he’d be happy to lie there gazing at me forever.

The beauty of this idea is that my decision to keep Peeta alive at the expense of my own life is itself an act of defiance. A refusal to play the Hunger Games by the...

Why…do you find this…distracting?

When I break into the clearing, she’s on the ground, hopelessly entangled in a net. She just has the time to reach her hand through the mesh and say my name before the spear enters...
