Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

"Destroying things is much easier than making them."

"You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope."

"You have a... remarkable memory.""I remember everything about you. You're the one who wasn't paying attention."

"Embrace the probability of your imminent death....and know there is nothing i can do to save you."

"It's lovely. If only you could frost someone to death.""Don't be so superior. You can never tell what you will find in the arena. Say it's a gigantic cake-"

"Don't. Don't let's pretend when there's no one around."

"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 full of bags of flour for me to chuck at people."

"Because...because...she came here with me."

"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 for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go."

"May the odds be ever in your favor!"

"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 can't get hurt."

"Star-crossed lovers desperate to get home together. Two hearts beating as one. Romance."

"Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor."

"You here to finish me off, Sweetheart?"

"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."

"Deep in the meadow, hidden far awayA cloak of leaves, a moonbeam rayForget your woes and let your troubles layAnd when it's morning again, they'll wash awayHere it's safe, here it's warmHere the daisies guard you from every harmHere your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them trueHere is the place where I love you."

"District 12: Where you can starve to death in safety."

"We could do it, you know.""What?""Leave the district. Run off. Live in the woods. You and I, we could make it."

"You here to finish me off, Sweetheart?"

"And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me."
