Suzanne Collins
I have been keeping track of the boy with the bread.
Suzanne Collins
I pound on the glass, screaming my head off. Everyone ignores me except for some Capitol attendant who appears behind me and offers me a beverage.
Suzanne Collins
Entrails. No hissing. This is the closest we will ever come to love.
Suzanne Collins
So instead of acknowledging applause, I stand there unmoving while they take part in the boldest form of dissent they can manage. Silence. Which says we do not agree. We do not condone. All of this is wrong.
Suzanne Collins
His dad said even the cavemen had geniuses among them. Somebody had thought up the wheel.
Suzanne Collins
She genuinely likes people. All people, not just a select few she's spent years making up her mind about.
Suzanne Collins
I wish she was dead,' he says. 'I wish they were all dead and we were, too. It would be best.
Suzanne Collins
I’m in a shallow hole, not filled with the humming orange bubbles of my hallucination but with old, dead leaves.
Suzanne Collins
