Suzanne Collins
Image
The anguish I always feel when she's in pain wells up in my chest and threatens to register on my face.

I notice her blouse has pulled out of her skirt in the back again and force myself to stay calm. Tuck your tail in, little duck, I say, smoothing the blouse back in place. Prim giggles and give me a small Quack. Quack yourself, I say with a light laugh. The kind only Prim can draw out of me.

Suzanne Collins

All those months of taking it for granted that Peeta thought I was wonderful are over. Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly. And I hate him for it.
Suzanne Collins

Underground. Which I hate. Like mines and tunnels and 13. Underground, where I dread dying, which is stupid because even if I die aboveground, the next thing they'll do is bury me underground anyway.
Suzanne Collins
Image
My guess is that fearful events are the hardest to root out. They're the ones we naturally remember the best, after all.
Suzanne Collins
Image
His dad said even the cavemen had geniuses among them. Somebody had thought up the wheel.
Suzanne Collins

So I thought if I stopped being so, you know, wounded, we could take a shot at just being friends. - Peeta Mellark
Suzanne Collins
Image
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.
