More quotes by 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
And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread.
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.
Suzanne Collins
The pain over my heart returns, and from it I imagine tiny fissures spreading out into my body. Through my torso, down my arms and legs, over my face, leaving it crisscrossed with cracks. One good jolt...and I could shatter into strange razor-sharp shards.
Suzanne Collins
I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.
Suzanne Collins
When I ask Plutarch about his absence, he just shakes his head and says, He couldnt face it. Haymitch? Not able to face something? Wanted a day off, more likely, I say. I think his actual words were 'I couldn't face it without a bottle,' says Plutarch.
Suzanne Collins
Barbarism? That's ironic coming from a woman helping to prepare us for slaughter. And what's she basing our success on? Our table manners?
Suzanne Collins
For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first.
Suzanne Collins
Maybe the other tributes are out there beating one another senseless. Which would be fine. - Katniss -
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
Okay, maybe I don't go around loving everybody I meet, maybe my smiles are hard to come by, but I do care for some people.
Suzanne Collins
This is the first kiss that we're both fully aware of. Neither of us hobbled by sickness or pain or simply unconscious. Our lips neither burning with fever or icy cold. This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me want another.
Suzanne Collins
Desperate, yet no longer alone after that day, because we'd found each other.
Suzanne Collins
He never lets go of Annie's hand. Not when they walk, not when they eat. I doubt he ever plans to.
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
They don't own me. If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta rinses the pearl off in the water and hands it to me. “For you.” I hold it out on my palm and examine its iridescent surface in the sunlight. Yes, I will keep it. For the few remaining hours of my life I will keep it close. This last gift from Peeta. The only one I can really accept. Perhaps it will give me strength in the final moments.
Suzanne Collins
That's very funny, says Peeta. Suddenly he lashes out at the glass in Haymitch's hand. It shatters on the floor, sending the bloodred liquid running toward the back of the train. Only not to us.
Suzanne Collins
I'm sick of people lying to me for my own good. Because really it's mostly for their own good.
Suzanne Collins
What will break me into a million pieces so that I am beyond repair, beyond usefulness?
Suzanne Collins
