More quotes by Suzanne Collins
We have to joke about it because the alternative is to be scared
Suzanne Collins
Because I'm selfish. I'm a coward. I'm the kind of girl who, when she might actually be of use, would run to stay alive and leave those who couldn't follow to suffer and die.
Suzanne Collins
Frankly, I could use a little sugarcoating.
Suzanne Collins
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away, A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray, Forget your woes and let your troubles lay, And when again it's morning, they'll wash away. Here it's safe, here it's warm, Here the daisies guard you from every harm, Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true, Here is the place where I love you.
Suzanne Collins
If I'm going to cry, now is the time. By morning, I'll be able to wash all the damage done by the tears from my face. But no tears come. I'm too tired or too numb to cry. The only thing I feel is a desire to be somewhere else. So I let the train rock me into oblivion.
Suzanne Collins
My time in the arena made me realize how I needed to stop punishing [my mother] for something she couldn't help, specifically the crushing depression she fell into after my father's death. Because sometimes things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them.
Suzanne Collins
Sometimes when things are particularly bad, my brain will give me a happy dream. [...] When I fully awaken, I'm momentarily comforted. I try to hold on to the peaceful feeling of the dream, but it quickly slips away, leaving me sadder than ever.
Suzanne Collins
Whatever the opposite of fine is, that's what I am.
Suzanne Collins
Technically, I am unarmed. But no one should ever underestimate the harm that fingernails can do. Especially if the target is unprepared.
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
You're still trying to protect me. Real or not real, he whispers. Real, I answer. Because that's what you and I do, protect each other.
Suzanne Collins
You're alive, I whisper, pressing my palms against my cheeks, feeling the smile that's so wide it must look like a grimace. Peeta's alive.
Suzanne Collins
They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!
Suzanne Collins
so people really do tear out their hair and beat the ground with their fists
Suzanne Collins
I think we put our children at an enormous disadvantage by not educating them in war, by not letting them understand about it at an early age.
Suzanne Collins
Peeta, you were supposed to wake me after a couple of hours, I say. For what? Nothing's going on here, he says. Besides, I like watching you sleep. You don't scowl. Improves your looks a lot. This, of course, brings on a scowl that makes him grin.
Suzanne Collins
Thinking like your prey. . . that's where you find their vulnerabilities.
Suzanne Collins
They don't own me. If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me.
Suzanne Collins
So I thought if I stopped being so, you know, wounded, we could take a shot at just being friends. - Peeta Mellark
Suzanne Collins
Shame isn't a strong enough word for what I feel. You could live a hundred lifetimes and not deserve him, you know, Haymitch says.
Suzanne Collins
