More quotes by 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
One of the most memorable things I hear is when someone tells me that my books got a reluctant reader to read.
Suzanne Collins
My death could, in fact, save him. If it can't, no matter. It's enough to die of spite. To punish Haymitch, who, of all the people in this rotting world, has turned Peeta and me into pieces in his Games. I trusted him. I put what was precious in Haymitch's hands. And he has betrayed me.
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
Well, I can't leave Mags behind, says Finnick. She's one of the few people who actually likes me.
Suzanne Collins
There's a meeting in Command. Disregard your current schedule,' he says. 'Done,' I say. 'Did you follow it at all today?' he asks in exasperation. 'Who knows? I'm mentally disoriented.' I hold up my wrist to show my medical bracelet and realize it's gone. 'See? I can't even remember they took my bracelet.' (Katniss and Boggs)
Suzanne Collins
What must it be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button?
Suzanne Collins
I don't know what I expected from my first meeting with Peeta after the announcement. A few hugs and kisses. A little comfort maybe. Not this. I turn to Haymitch. Don't worry, I'll get you more liquor.
Suzanne Collins
I send a silent thank-you to Dalton for suggesting I wash off the makeup. How ridiculous, how perverse I would feel presenting that painted Capitol mask to these people. The damage, the fatigue, the imperfections. That's how they recognize me, why I belong to them.
Suzanne Collins
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes, and when again they open, the sun will rise.
Suzanne Collins
That's very funny, says Peeta. Suddenly he lashes out at the glass in Haymitch's hand. It shatters on the floor, sending the bloodred liquid running toward the back of the train. Only not to us.
Suzanne Collins
That what? That I knew i misjudged you. That you love him. I'm not saying In what way. Maybe you don't know yourself. But anyone paying attention could see how much you care about him, he says gently.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta looks me right in the eye and gives my hand what I think is meant to be a reassuring squeeze. Maybe it's just a nervous spasm.
Suzanne Collins
A need for revenge can burn long and hot. Especially if every glance in a mirror reinforces it.
Suzanne Collins
Katniss, got that spile? Finnick asks, snapping me back to reality.
Suzanne Collins
The star-crossed lovers
Suzanne Collins
So we both strip off our boots and socks and, while there’s some improvement, I could swear he’s making an effort to snap every branch we encounter
Suzanne Collins
I thought he wanted it, anyway, I say. Not like this, Haymitch says. He wanted it to be real.
Suzanne Collins
Poison. The perfect weapon for a snake.
Suzanne Collins
I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.
