More quotes by Suzanne Collins
My nightmares are usually about losing you. I'm okay once I realize you're here.
Suzanne Collins
Why don't I just pretend I'm on camera, Plutarch? I say. Yes! Perfect. One is always much braver with an audience, he says. Look at the courage Peeta just displayed! It's all I can do not to slap him.
Suzanne Collins
A spark could be enough to set them ablaze.
Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins
Peeta, you were supposed to wake me after a couple of hours, I say. For what? Nothing's going on here, he says. Besides, I like watching you sleep. You don't scowl. Improves your looks a lot. This, of course, brings on a scowl that makes him grin.
Suzanne Collins
Once I'm on my feet I realize escape might not be so easy.
Suzanne Collins
Just remember, stealing's punishable by death
Suzanne Collins
Girl talk. That thing I've always been so bad at.
Suzanne Collins
if he goes and dies on me now, I know I'll go completely insane.
Suzanne Collins
I look down from the branch I'm perched on. The Careers look murderous. Now I smile.'How have things been with you?' I ask sweetly.
Suzanne Collins
See that little girl? I wanted to marry her mother, but she ran off with a coal miner, A coal miner? Why did she want a coal miner if she could've had you? Because when he sings...even the birds stop to listen.
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
In really bad times, the hungriest would gather at his door at nightfall, vying for the chance to earn a few coins to feed their families by selling their bodies. Had I been older when my father died, I might have been among them. Instead I learned to hunt.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not flailing now, as my muscles are rigid with the tension of holding myself together.
Suzanne Collins
