More quotes by Suzanne Collins
Remembering from last year how Haymitch's gifts are often timed to send a message, I make a note to myself. Be friends with Finnick. You'll get food.
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
Birds are settling down for the night, singing lullabies to their young.
Suzanne Collins
Haymitch in my head full-time. Horrifying
Suzanne Collins
Hey, Effie, watch this! says Peeta. He tosses his fork over his shoulder and literally licks his plate clean whit his tongue making loud, satisfied sounds. Then he blows a kiss out to her in general and calls, We miss you, Effie!
Suzanne Collins
Once I'm on my feet i realize escape might not be so simple, panic begins to set in. i can't stay here. flight is essential but i can't let my fear show. Winning means fame and fortune, losing mean certain death, The Hunger Games have begun . . .
Suzanne Collins
I merely feel emptyness. A hollow of dead brush where flowers use to bloom.
Suzanne Collins
A faint light burned in the pit revealing a furry creature hunched over a stone slab, fiddling with something. At first Gregor raised a warning hand. He thought it was a rat. Then the creature lifted his head and Gregor recognized what was left of his dad.
Suzanne Collins
The heat of the bread burned into my skin, but I clutched it tighter, clinging to life.
Suzanne Collins
Katniss, got that spile? Finnick asks, snapping me back to reality.
Suzanne Collins
To this day, I can never shake the connection between this boy, Peeta Mellark, and the bread that gave me hope, and the dandelion that reminded me that I was not doomed.
Suzanne Collins
Destroying things is much easier than making them.
Suzanne Collins
They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!
Suzanne Collins
Tomorrow's a hunting day, I say. I won't be much of a help with that, Peeta says. I've never hunted before. I'll kill and you cook, I say. And you can always gather. I wish there was some sort of bread bush out there, says Peeta.
Suzanne Collins
And suddenly, it's as if there's no one in the world but these two, crashing through space to reach each other. They collide, enfold, lose their balance, and slam against a wall, where they stay. Clinging into one being. Indivisible.
Suzanne Collins
I thought he wanted it, anyway, I say. Not like this, Haymitch says. He wanted it to be real.
Suzanne Collins
You would think after all the hours I’d spent with Gale– watching him talk and laugh and frown– that I would know all there was to know about his lips. But I hadn’t imagined how warm they would feel pressed against my own. Or how those hands [...] could entrap me… I vaguely remember my fingers, curled tightly closed, resting on his chest.
Suzanne Collins
Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.
Suzanne Collins
The way she kissed you in the Quarter Quell…well she never kissed me like that…I should have volunteered to take your place in the first Games. Protected her then…I guess it’s Katniss’ problem. Who to choose…Katniss will pick whoever she thinks she can’t survive without.
Suzanne Collins
I squeeze my eyes shut and try to reach for him across the hundreds and hundreds of miles, to send my thoughts into his mind, to let him know he is not alone. But he is. And I can't help him.
Suzanne Collins
