More quotes by Suzanne Collins
This is the first kiss that we're both fully aware of. Neither of us hobbled by sickness or pain or simply unconscious. Our lips neither burning with fever or icy cold. This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me want another.
Suzanne Collins
Star-crossed lovers desperate to get home together. Two hearts beating as one. Romance.
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
Sometimes when things are particularly bad, my brain will give me a happy dream.
Suzanne Collins
Just one more thing. I kill Snow.
Suzanne Collins
They erase my face with a layer of pale makeup and draw my features back out.
Suzanne Collins
How could I leave Prim, who is the only person in the world I’m certain I love?
Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins
I think....you still have no idea. The effect you can have.
Suzanne Collins
what is the worst pain? To me, it's always the pain that is present.
Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins
What have the nibblers ever done for you? The breeze ruffled her hair, pushing it back from her face, giving him a clear shot of her eyes. They were asking for an answer. Needing to know if she could count on him. They saved your life, he said. And for just a moment, Luxa's face softened and she smiled.
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
Suddenly I am furious, that with my life on the line, they don’t even have the decency to pay attention to me. That I’m being upstaged by a dead pig.
Suzanne Collins
Got it, I say. Did you tell Peeta this? Don't have to, says Haymitch. He's already there.
Suzanne Collins
But there was only one kiss that made me feel something stir deep inside. Only one that made me want more. But my head wound started bleeding and he made me lie down.
Suzanne Collins
I pull an arrow, whip the notch into place, and am about to let it fly when I'm stopped by the sight of Finnick kissing Peeta. And it's so bizarre, even for Finnick.
Suzanne Collins
Smiling is mostly about smiling more.
Suzanne Collins
Whose is it, do you think? I say finally. No telling, says Finnick. Why don't we let Peeta claim it, since he died today?
Suzanne Collins
And once we reach the city, my stylist will dictate my look for the opening ceremonies tonight anyway. I just hope I get one who doesn't think nudity is the last word in fashion.
Suzanne Collins
