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.

More quotes by Suzanne Collins
I take a few breaths to calm myself, step back, and lift Buttercup by the scruff of the neck. I should've drowned you when I had the chance. His ears flatten and he raises a paw. I hiss before he gets a chance, which seems to annoy him a little, since he considers hissing his own personal sound of contempt.
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
What? My head doctor says I'm not supposed to censor my thoughts. It's part of my therapy.
Suzanne Collins
They don't own me. If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me.
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
In my mind, President Snow should be viewed in front of marble pillars hung with oversized flags. It's jarring to see him surrounded by the ordinary objects in the room. Like taking the lid off a pot and finding a fanged viper instead of stew.
Suzanne Collins
Jackson has devised a game called Real or Not Real to help Peeta. He mentions something he thinks happened, and they tell him if it's true or imagined, usually followed by a brief explanation.
Suzanne Collins
Roses. Wolf mutts. Tributes. Frosted Dolphins. Friends. Mockingjays. Stylists. Me. Everything screams in my dreams tonight.
Suzanne Collins
If it's true, why do they leave us to live like this? With the hunger and the killings and the Games? And suddenly I hate this imaginary underground city of District 13 and those who sit by, watching us die. They're no better than the Capitol.
Suzanne Collins
I have zero interest in these Capitol people. They are only distractions from the food.
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
Highly unlikely but not impossible.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not their slave, the man mutters. I am, I say. That's why I killed Cato ... and he killed Thresh ... and he killed Clove ... and she tried to kill me. It just goes around and around, and who wins? Not us. Not the districts. Always the Capitol. But I'm tired of being a piece in their Games.
Suzanne Collins
Whatever it takes to break you.
Suzanne Collins
Even in war there should be lines you didn't cross.
Suzanne Collins
Tick tock, this is a clock.
Suzanne Collins
So what I'd really like is to try and conceal him somewhere safe, then go hunt, and come back and collect him. But I have a feeling his ego isn't going to go for that suggestion.
Suzanne Collins
They can pump whatever they want into my arm but it takes more than that to keep a person going once she's lost the will to live.
Suzanne Collins
Crying is not an option.
Suzanne Collins
I always channel my emotions into my work. That way, I don't hurt anyone but myself.
