More quotes by Suzanne Collins
Then I get it, what it means. At least, for me. District 12 only has three existing victors to choose from. Two male. One female... I am going back into the arena.
Suzanne Collins
I curl up, make myself smaller, try to disappear entirely. Wrapped in silence, I slide my bracelet that reads 'mentally disoriented' around and around my wrist.
Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins
Remember that even in war there is a time for restraint. A time to hold back your sword.
Suzanne Collins
We star-crossed lovers of District 12, who suffered so much and enjoyed so little the rewards of our victory, do not seek our fans' favor, grace them with our smiles, or catch their kisses. We are unforgiving. And I love it. Getting to be myself at last.
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
What? My head doctor says I'm not supposed to censor my thoughts. It's part of my therapy.
Suzanne Collins
Yes, they have to have a victor. Without a victor, the whole thing would blow up in the Gamemakers' faces. They'd have failed the Capitol. Might possibly even be executed, slowly and painfully, while the cameras broadcast it to every screen in the country.
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
But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will be more hopeful than this awful piece o time we call today.
Suzanne Collins
You want a piece of advice? said Ripred. Don't bother. I know what you'll say. The whole thing's stupid, said Gregor. Quite the contrary. I was going to say that life is short. There are only a few good things in it, really. Don't pretend that one isn't happening. said Ripred.
Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins
Katniss: 'What about you? Ive seen you in the market. You can lift hundred pound bags of flour'. I snap at him Tell him that. Thats not nothing. Peeta: Yes and Im sure the arena will be full of bags of flour for me to chuck at people.
Suzanne Collins
My nightmares are usually about losing you. I'm okay once I realize you're here.
