More quotes by Suzanne Collins
hey. I just wanted to make sure you got home, I say. Katniss, I live three houses away from you, he says.
Suzanne Collins
It's not easy to find a topic. Talking of home is painful. Talking of the present unbearable.
Suzanne Collins
You would think after all the hours I’d spent with Gale– watching him talk and laugh and frown– that I would know all there was to know about his lips. But I hadn’t imagined how warm they would feel pressed against my own. Or how those hands [...] could entrap me… I vaguely remember my fingers, curled tightly closed, resting on his chest.
Suzanne Collins
I know. I was hoping, I say. Exactly. Because you're desperate, says Haymitch. I don't argue because, of course, he's right.
Suzanne Collins
The pounding music, the cheers, the admiration work their way into my blood, and I can’t suppress my excitement. Cinna has given me a great advantage. No one will forget me. Not my look, not my name. Katniss. The girl who was on fire.
Suzanne Collins
Just last year i wanted to kill him, but now it is my duty to save him.
Suzanne Collins
Closing my eyes doesn't help. Fire burns brighter in the darkness.
Suzanne Collins
They don't own me. If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me.
Suzanne Collins
Yeah, we wouldn't want to lose our little Mockingjay when she's finally begun to sing.
Suzanne Collins
It must be very fragile, if a handful of berries can bring it down.
Suzanne Collins
But I don't know what to him about the aftermath of killing a person. About how they never leave you.
Suzanne Collins
Behind a rack of framed photos of Snow, we encounter a wounded Peacekeeper propped up against a strip of brick wall. He asks us for help. Gale knees him in the side of the head and takes his gun.
Suzanne Collins
Instead of satisfying me, the kisses have the opposite effect, of make my need greater. I thought I was something of an expert on hunger, but this is an entirely new kind.
Suzanne Collins
No matter what I do, I'm hurting someone. - Katniss Everdeen
Suzanne Collins
He’s dozed off again, but I kiss him awake, which seems to startle him. Then he smiles as if he’d be happy to lie there gazing at me forever.
Suzanne Collins
All I can think of is the emaciated bodies of children on our kitchen table as my mother prescribes what the parent's can't give. More food.
Suzanne Collins
So that day, in music assembly, the teacher asked who knew the valley song. Your hand shot right up in the air. She stood you up on a stool and had you sing it for us. And I swear, every bird outside the windows fell silent...and right when your song ended, I knew - just like your mother - I was a goner.
Suzanne Collins
Let the Seventy-forth Hunger Games begin, Cato, I think. Let them begin for real.
Suzanne Collins
Once I'm on my feet I realize escape might not be so easy.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta looks at the glass again and puts it together. You mean this will make me puke? My prep team laughs hysterically. Of course, so you can keep eating, says Octavia. I've been in there twice already. Everyone does it, or else how would you have any fun at a feast?
