More quotes by Suzanne Collins
I know he was desperate. That makes people do all kinds of crazy things.
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
What about Gale? He's not a bad kisser either, I say shortly. And it was okay with both of us? You kissing the other? He asks. No. It wasn't okay with either of you. But I wasn't asking your permission, I tell him. Peeta laughs again, coldly, dismissively. Well, you're a piece of work, aren't you?
Suzanne Collins
At the moment, the choice would be simple. I can survive just fine without either of them.
Suzanne Collins
Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun.
Suzanne Collins
He wants as many victors as possible for the cameras to follow in the Capitol. Thinks it makes for better television. Are you and Beetee going? I ask. As many young and attractive victors as possible, Haymitch corrects himself. So, no. We'll be here.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta smiles at me, sad and mocking. Okay. Thanks for the tip, sweetheart.
Suzanne Collins
Of course you are. The tributes were necessary to the Games, too. Until they weren't, I say. And then we were very disposable - right, Plutarch?
Suzanne Collins
Great. Now I have to go back and tell Haymitch I want an eighty-year-old and Nuts and Volts for my allies. He'll love that.
Suzanne Collins
Because that's what you and I do, protect each other.
Suzanne Collins
Frankly, our ancestors don't seem much to brag about. I mean, look at the state they left us in, with the wars, the broken planet. Clearly, they didn't care about what would happen to the people who came after them.
Suzanne Collins
So at least half the victors have instructed their mentors to request you as an ally. I know it can't be your sunny personality.” “They saw her shoot,” says Peeta with a smile. “Actually, I saw her shoot, for real, for the first time. I'm about to put in a formal request myself.” “You're that good?” Haymitch asks me.
Suzanne Collins
One time, my mother told me that I always eat like I'll never see food again. And I said, I won't unless I bring it home. That shut her up.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta looks at the glass again and puts it together. You mean this will make me puke? My prep team laughs hysterically. Of course, so you can keep eating, says Octavia. I've been in there twice already. Everyone does it, or else how would you have any fun at a feast?
Suzanne Collins
They don't know that I'm already asking for the moon.
Suzanne Collins
He’s dozed off again, but I kiss him awake, which seems to startle him. Then he smiles as if he’d be happy to lie there gazing at me forever.
Suzanne Collins
What do I mean when I say I love Gale? I don't know. I did kiss him last night, in a moment when my emotions were running so high. But I'm sure he doesn't remember it. Does he? I hope not. If he does, everything will just get more complicated and I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite.
Suzanne Collins
Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children’s lives to settle its differences.
Suzanne Collins
If you won't talk about yourself, at least compliment the audience. Just keep turning it back around, all right. Gush.
Suzanne Collins
because I have learned the hard way how deadly these beauties can be.
Suzanne Collins
