So I learned to hold my tongue and to turn my features into an indifferent mask so that no one could ever read my thoughts.

More quotes by Suzanne Collins
Peeta and I had adjoining cells in the capitol. We're very familiar with each other's screams.
Suzanne Collins
Something small and quiet, like a match being struck, lights up the gloom inside of me.
Suzanne Collins
Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children’s lives to settle its differences.
Suzanne Collins
Sorry excuses for hunters and friends. Both of us.
Suzanne Collins
I take a few breaths to calm myself, step back, and lift Buttercup by the scruff of the neck. I should've drowned you when I had the chance. His ears flatten and he raises a paw. I hiss before he gets a chance, which seems to annoy him a little, since he considers hissing his own personal sound of contempt.
Suzanne Collins
I take Peeta's face in my hands. Don't worry. I'll see you at midnight.
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
I keep hoping that as time passes by, we’ll regain the ease between us, but part of me knows it’s futile. There’s no going back.
Suzanne Collins
Yes, it's your fault I'm alive.
Suzanne Collins
I have been keeping track of the boy with the bread.
Suzanne Collins
I killed you. And you. And you.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta? I creep along the bank. Well, don't step on me.
Suzanne Collins
Here began countless days of hunting and snaring, fishing and gathering, roaming together through the woods, unloading our thoughts while we filled our game bags. This was the doorway to both sustenance and sanity. And we were each other's key.
Suzanne Collins
Katniss, got that spile? Finnick asks, snapping me back to reality.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not flailing now, as my muscles are rigid with the tension of holding myself together.
Suzanne Collins
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away, A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray, Forget your woes and let your troubles lay, And when again it's morning, they'll wash away. Here it's safe, here it's warm, Here the daisies guard you from every harm, Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true, Here is the place where I love you.
Suzanne Collins
But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will be more hopeful than this awful piece o time we call today.
Suzanne Collins
They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!
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
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.
