Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

"Isn't it strange that I know you'd risk your life to save mine, but I don't even know what your favorite color is?"

"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."

"Sometimes things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them."

"Not like this. He wanted it to be real."

"But I have to confess, I'm glad you two had at least a few months of happiness together."I'm not glad," says Peeta.

"Surely even a brief time is better than no time"Maybe I'd think that, too, Caesar," says Peeta bitterly, "If it weren't for the baby."

"Peeta, how come I never know when you're having a nightmare?” I say.“I don't know. I don't think I cry out or thrash around or anything. I just come to, paralyzed with terror,” he says.“You should wake me,” I say, thinking about how I can interrupt his sleep two or three times on a bad night. About how long it can take to calm me down.“It's not necessary. My nightmares are usually about losing you,” he says. “I'm okay once I realize you're here."
