“Anyone who falls in love is searching for missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time. It's just a natural feeling. You're not the person who discovered that feeling, so don't go trying to patent it, okay?”

“That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.”

“I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them… I think you should just wait for the person you're…in love with.”

“There's a chance that the old Peeta, the one who loves you, is still inside. Trying to get back to you. Don't give up on him.”

“It's hard loving those who don't much like themselves: "If you're so great, why would you think I'm so great.”

“Loving someone who doesn't love me back is like loving the wind, which is felt but cannot be seen. The lover does not love the feeling of getting love in return, but sacrifices himself for his happiness.”

“Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary.”

“It's you, so I feel that a person who will understand you, a person who will find you is waiting out there. So just keep on trying your best.”

“are you saying that the feeling of searching for a missing sock is like searching for love?”

“When men feel happy, they think of men who love; when they feel sad they think and pray to God.”
