More quotes by 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
Roses. Wolf mutts. Tributes. Frosted Dolphins. Friends. Mockingjays. Stylists. Me. Everything screams in my dreams tonight.
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
I miss home badly sometimes. But then I remember there's nothing left to miss anymore. I feel safer here.
Suzanne Collins
My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.
Suzanne Collins
No, you won her over. Gave up everything for her. Maybe that's the only way to convince her you love her.
Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins
It's not easy to find a topic. Talking of home is painful. Talking of the present unbearable.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta looks me right in the eye and gives my hand what I think is meant to be a reassuring squeeze. Maybe it's just a nervous spasm.
Suzanne Collins
What do you think? I whisper to Peeta. About the fire? I'll rip off your cape if you'll rip off mine, he says through gritted teeth.
Suzanne Collins
Only I keep wishing I could think of a way...to show the Capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games.
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
I walk around the room eating goose liver and puffy bread until there's a knock on the door. Effie's calling me to dinner. Good. I'm starving.
Suzanne Collins
I must still look perplexed because Gale delivers the next line very slowly. “Katniss…he’s still trying to keep you alive.” To keep me alive? And then I understand. The Games are still on.
Suzanne Collins
Better not to give in to it.
Suzanne Collins
That it's no good loving me because I'm never going to get married anyway and he'd just end up hating me later instead of sooner.
Suzanne Collins
But because two can play at this game, I stand on tiptoe and kiss his cheek. Right on his bruise.
Suzanne Collins
I know. I was hoping, I say. Exactly. Because you're desperate, says Haymitch. I don't argue because, of course, he's right.
Suzanne Collins
Hey, Finnick, come on in! We figured out how to make you pretty again!
Suzanne Collins
The numbness of his loss had passed, and the pain would hit me out of nowhere, doubling me over, racking my body with sobs. Where are you? I would cry out in my mind. Where have you gone? Of course, there was never any answer.
