More quotes by Suzanne Collins
And some small gnarled place inside me hated her for her weakness, for her neglect, for the months she had put us through. I had taken a step back from my mother, put up a wall to protect myself from needing her, and nothing was ever the same between us again.
Suzanne Collins
Every day when I wake I tell myself that it will be my last. If you are not trying to hold on to time, you are not so afraid of losing it... And then, if you make it to bedtime, you feel the joy of cheating death out of one more day.
Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins
Ally. Peeta says the words slowly, tasting it. Friend. Lover. Victor. Enemy. Fiancee. Target. Mutt. Neighbor. Hunter. Tribute. Ally. I'll add it to the list of words I use to try to figure you out. The problem is, I can't tell what's real anymore, and what's made up.
Suzanne Collins
what is the worst pain? To me, it's always the pain that is present.
Suzanne Collins
A spark could be enough to set them ablaze.
Suzanne Collins
Everything is about them, not the dying boys and girls in the arena.
Suzanne Collins
Then I get it, what it means. At least, for me. District 12 only has three existing victors to choose from. Two male. One female... I am going back into the arena.
Suzanne Collins
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes, and when again they open, the sun will rise.
Suzanne Collins
While you live, the revolution lives
Suzanne Collins
That should have been my strategy! By the time I’ve worked through the emotions of surprise, admiration, anger, jealousy, and frustration, I’m watching that reddish mane of hair disappear into the trees well out of shooting range.
Suzanne Collins
We're supposed to be making up this stuff, playing at being in love, not actually being in love.
Suzanne Collins
It's hard to hate my prep team. They're such total idiots. - Katniss.
Suzanne Collins
I killed you. And you. And you.
Suzanne Collins
Then he smiles as if he'd be happy to lie there and gaze at me forever.
