Frankly, our ancestors don't seem much to brag about. I mean, look at the state they left us in, with the wars, the broken planet. Clearly, they didn't care about what would happen to the people who came after them.

More quotes by 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
They hadn’t counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to pass on its genetic code, to thrive in a new form. They hadn’t anticipated its will to live.
Suzanne Collins
We could do it, you know. What? Leave the district. Run off. Live in the woods. You and I, we could make it.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta? I creep along the bank. Well, don't step on me.
Suzanne Collins
Despite what I feel for Peeta, this is when I accept deep down that he'll never come back to me. Or i'll never go back to him. I'll die for my trouble. And he'll die insane and hating me.
Suzanne Collins
Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch – this is the Capitol’s way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy.
Suzanne Collins
No more kisses for you, until you have eaten !
Suzanne Collins
Tuck in your tail, little duck.
Suzanne Collins
I miss home badly sometimes. But then I remember there's nothing left to miss anymore. I feel safer here.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not flailing now, as my muscles are rigid with the tension of holding myself together.
Suzanne Collins
Yes, frosting. The final defense of the dying.
Suzanne Collins
Our romance became a key strategy for our survival in the arena. Only it wasn't just a strategy for Peeta.
Suzanne Collins
Oh, and I suppose the apples ate the cheese.
Suzanne Collins
Cleaning me up is just a preliminary step to determining my new look. With my acid-damaged hair, sunburned skin, and ugly scars, the prep team has to make me pretty and then damage, burn, and scare me in a more attractive way.
Suzanne Collins
How much better my life has been for knowing him. For loving him, even if it's only in the limited way that I can manage. But I never get the chance.
Suzanne Collins
Please feel free to take this personally.
Suzanne Collins
Let them go, I tell myself. Say good-bye and forget them. I do my best, thinking of them one by one, releasing them like birds from the protective cages inside me, locking the doors against their return.
Suzanne Collins
This is what birds see. Only they're free and safe. The very opposite of me.
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
Jackson has devised a game called Real or Not Real to help Peeta. He mentions something he thinks happened, and they tell him if it's true or imagined, usually followed by a brief explanation.
