"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."

"I don't want to lose the boy with the bread."

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

"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."

"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."

"I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun."

"Destroying things is much easier than making them."

"It's old, very old I think. Made up long ago in our hills. What my music teacher calls a mountain air. But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will be more hopeful than this awful piece of time we call today."

"You here to finish me off, Sweetheart?"

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

"It crosses my mind that Cinna's calm and normal demeanor masks a complete madman."

"May the odds be ever in your favor!"

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

"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."

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

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

"Stupid people are dangerous."
