Maybe I'd think that, too, Caesar, says Petta bitterly, if it weren't for the baby. There. He's done it again.

More quotes by Suzanne Collins
You would think after all the hours I’d spent with Gale– watching him talk and laugh and frown– that I would know all there was to know about his lips. But I hadn’t imagined how warm they would feel pressed against my own. Or how those hands [...] could entrap me… I vaguely remember my fingers, curled tightly closed, resting on his chest.
Suzanne Collins
The more you can distract yourself, the better.
Suzanne Collins
I pull the sleeping bag up to his chin and kiss his forehead, not for the audience, but for me. Because I'm so grateful that he's here, not dead by the stream as I'd thought. So glad I don't have to face Cato alone.
Suzanne Collins
Although who knows? Maybe this will be it, Katniss. What? I ask. The time it sticks. Maybe we are witnessing the evolution of the human race. Think about that. And then he asks me if I'd like to perform on a new singing program he's launching in a few weeks. Something upbeat would be good. He'll send the crew to my house.
Suzanne Collins
I don't know what I expected from my first meeting with Peeta after the announcement. A few hugs and kisses. A little comfort maybe. Not this. I turn to Haymitch. Don't worry, I'll get you more liquor.
Suzanne Collins
Since my father died and I stopped trusting my mother, no one else's arms have made me feel this safe.
Suzanne Collins
I send a silent thank-you to Dalton for suggesting I wash off the makeup. How ridiculous, how perverse I would feel presenting that painted Capitol mask to these people. The damage, the fatigue, the imperfections. That's how they recognize me, why I belong to them.
Suzanne Collins
There's no district 12 to escape from now, no Peacekeepers to trick, no hungry mouths to feed. The Capitol took away all of that, and I'm on the verge of losing Gale as well. The glue of mutual needs that bonded us so tightly together for all those years is melting away.
Suzanne Collins
Fine. Somebody else can arrange to get the stupid goat knocked up.
Suzanne Collins
When you're in the arena...you just remember who the enemy is - Haymitch
Suzanne Collins
I always channel my emotions into my work. That way, I don't hurt anyone but myself.
Suzanne Collins
All the writing elements are the same. You need to tell a good story... You've got good characters... People think there's some dramatic difference between writing 'Little Bear' and the 'Hunger Games,' and as a writer, for me, there isn't.
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
Closing my eyes doesn't help. Fire burns brighter in the darkness.
Suzanne Collins
Maybe the other tributes are out there beating one another senseless. Which would be fine. - Katniss -
Suzanne Collins
Do i really want him dead? What i want... what i want is to have him back.
Suzanne Collins
Because that's what you and I do, protect each other.
Suzanne Collins
Kind people have a way of working their way inside me and rooting there.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble.
Suzanne Collins
It's as if I'm Finnick, watching images of my life flash by. The mast of a boat, a silver parachute, Mags laughing, a pink sky, Beetee's trident, Annie in her wedding dress, waves breaking over rocks. Then its over.
Suzanne Collins
