Want a sugar cube?- Finnick Odair,
Suzanne Collins
I know we promised Haymitch, we'd do exactly what they said, but I don't think he considered this angle.' 'Where is Haymitch, anyway? Isn't he supposed to protect us from this sort of thing?' says Peeta. 'With all that alcohol in him, it's probably not advisable to have him around an open flame,' I say.
Suzanne Collins
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-

District 12: Where you can starve to death in safety.
Suzanne Collins
aren't they the very reason I have to try to fight? Because what has been done to them is so wrong, so beyond justification, so evil that there is no choice? Because no one has the right to treat them as they have been treated?
Suzanne Collins
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.
Suzanne Collins
There's no district 12 to escape from now, no Peacekeepers to trick, no hungry mouths to feed. The Capitol took away all of that, and I'm on the verge of losing Gale as well. The glue of mutual needs that bonded us so tightly together for all those years is melting away.
Suzanne Collins
I must still look perplexed because Gale delivers the next line very slowly. “Katniss…he’s still trying to keep you alive.” To keep me alive? And then I understand. The Games are still on.
Suzanne Collins
That what? That I knew i misjudged you. That you love him. I'm not saying In what way. Maybe you don't know yourself. But anyone paying attention could see how much you care about him, he says gently.
Suzanne Collins
KEEP CALM and HAVE A SUGAR CUBE
Suzanne Collins
I don't know how to say it exactly. Only... I want to die as myself. Does that make any sense? he asks. I shake my head. How could he die as anyone but himself. I don't want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I'm not.
Suzanne Collins
But because two can play at this game, I stand on tiptoe and kiss his cheek. Right on his bruise.
Suzanne Collins
I also want to tell him how much I already miss him. But that wouldn't be fair on my part.
Suzanne Collins
Once I'm on my feet I realize escape might not be so easy.
Suzanne Collins
So at least half the victors have instructed their mentors to request you as an ally. I know it can't be your sunny personality.” “They saw her shoot,” says Peeta with a smile. “Actually, I saw her shoot, for real, for the first time. I'm about to put in a formal request myself.” “You're that good?” Haymitch asks me.
Suzanne Collins
Katniss, got that spile? Finnick asks, snapping me back to reality.
Suzanne Collins
Just remember, stealing's punishable by death
Suzanne Collins
Remembering from last year how Haymitch's gifts are often timed to send a message, I make a note to myself. Be friends with Finnick. You'll get food.
Suzanne Collins
You're still trying to protect me. Real or not real, he whispers. Real, I answer. Because that's what you and I do, protect each other.
Suzanne Collins
I have not wept since the death of my parents, said Luxa quietly. But I am thought to be unnatural in this respect.
