Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

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

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

"Look, if you wanted to be babied you should have asked Peeta."

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

"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."

"Not like this. He wanted it to be real."

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

"hey. I just wanted to make sure you got home,"I say. "Katniss, I live three houses away from you,"he says."

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

"Because I'm selfish. I'm a coward. I'm the kind of girl who, when she might actually be of use, would run to stay alive and leave those who couldn't follow to suffer and die."

"At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead.The hard thing is finding the courage to do it."

"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."

"But I have to confess, I'm glad you two had at least a few months of happiness together."I'm not glad,"says Peeta. "I wish we had waited until the whole thing was done officially."This takes even Caesar aback. "Surely even a brief time is better than no time?"Maybe I'd think that, too, Caesar,"says Peeta bitterly, "If it weren't for the baby."

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

"We had to save you because you're the mockingjay, Katniss,"says Plutarch. "While you live, the revolution lives."

"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."

"I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite."

"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."

"Because, sometimes, things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them."

"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?"
