No, you won her over. Gave up everything for her. Maybe that's the only way to convince her you love her.

More quotes by Suzanne Collins
Suddenly I am furious, that with my life on the line, they don’t even have the decency to pay attention to me. That I’m being upstaged by a dead pig.
Suzanne Collins
He wants as many victors as possible for the cameras to follow in the Capitol. Thinks it makes for better television. Are you and Beetee going? I ask. As many young and attractive victors as possible, Haymitch corrects himself. So, no. We'll be here.
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
I roll my eyes. So when did I become so special? When they carted me off to the Capitol? No, about six months before that. Right after New Year's. We were in the Hob, eating some slop of Greasy Sae's. And Darius was teasing you about trading a rabbit for one of his kisses. And I realized...I minded.
Suzanne Collins
This is the first kiss that we're both fully aware of. Neither of us hobbled by sickness or pain or simply unconscious. Our lips neither burning with fever or icy cold. This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me want another.
Suzanne Collins
In the end, the only person I truly want to comfort me is Haymitch, because he loves Peeta, too.
Suzanne Collins
All I can think of is the emaciated bodies of children on our kitchen table as my mother prescribes what the parent's can't give. More food.
Suzanne Collins
Pity does not get you aid. Admiration at your refusal to give in does.
Suzanne Collins
I have been keeping track of the boy with the bread.
Suzanne Collins
Katniss? Peeta says. I meet his eyes, knowing my face must be some shade of green. He mouths the words. How about that kiss?
Suzanne Collins
So I learned to hold my tongue and to turn my features into an indifferent mask so that no one could ever read my thoughts.
Suzanne Collins
Whose is it, do you think? I say finally. No telling, says Finnick. Why don't we let Peeta claim it, since he died today?
Suzanne Collins
Only I keep wishing I could think of a way...to show the Capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games.
Suzanne Collins
Katniss, there is no District Twelve.
Suzanne Collins
Our romance became a key strategy for our survival in the arena. Only it wasn't just a strategy for Peeta.
Suzanne Collins
It's as if I'm Finnick, watching images of my life flash by. The mast of a boat, a silver parachute, Mags laughing, a pink sky, Beetee's trident, Annie in her wedding dress, waves breaking over rocks. Then its over.
Suzanne Collins
The audience must be sick to death of the star-crossed lovers from District 12. I know I am.
Suzanne Collins
Each time I wake,I think, At last, this is over, but it isn't.
Suzanne Collins
But the only thing that distracts me from my current situation is fantasizing about killing President Snow.
Suzanne Collins
But in my head I can hear Haymitch's smug, if slightly exasperated, words: Yes, that's what I'm looking for, sweetheart.
