More quotes by Suzanne Collins
Destroying things is much easier than making them.
Suzanne Collins
What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.
Suzanne Collins
We fight, we dare, we end our hunger for justice.
Suzanne Collins
Sometimes when things are particularly bad, my brain will give me a happy dream. [...] When I fully awaken, I'm momentarily comforted. I try to hold on to the peaceful feeling of the dream, but it quickly slips away, leaving me sadder than ever.
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
Don't. Don't let's pretend when there's no one around.
Suzanne Collins
What do I mean when I say I love Gale? I don't know. I did kiss him last night, in a moment when my emotions were running so high. But I'm sure he doesn't remember it. Does he? I hope not. If he does, everything will just get more complicated and I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite.
Suzanne Collins
Something inside me shuts down and I'm too numb to feel anything. It's like watching complete strangers in another Hunger Games. But I do notice they omit the part where I covered her in flowers. Right. Because even that smacks of rebellion.
Suzanne Collins
Crying is not an option.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not their slave, the man mutters. I am, I say. That's why I killed Cato ... and he killed Thresh ... and he killed Clove ... and she tried to kill me. It just goes around and around, and who wins? Not us. Not the districts. Always the Capitol. But I'm tired of being a piece in their Games.
Suzanne Collins
They recognize me. Of course they recognize me. My face is uncovered and I'm standing here outside of District 12 pointing an arrow at them. Who else would I be?
Suzanne Collins
And some small gnarled place inside me hated her for her weakness, for her neglect, for the months she had put us through. I had taken a step back from my mother, put up a wall to protect myself from needing her, and nothing was ever the same between us again.
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
Just give him the medicine! I scream at her. Give it to him! Who are you, anyway, to decide how much pain he can stand!
Suzanne Collins
Because I can't handle the nightmares. Not without you.
Suzanne Collins
Frankly, I could use a little sugarcoating.
Suzanne Collins
You never know. Say the arena's actually a giant cake- Say we move on, I broke in.
Suzanne Collins
If it's true, why do they leave us to live like this? With the hunger and the killings and the Games? And suddenly I hate this imaginary underground city of District 13 and those who sit by, watching us die. They're no better than the Capitol.
Suzanne Collins
Well, I can't leave Mags behind, says Finnick. She's one of the few people who actually likes me.
