Suzanne Collins
I guess there isn’t a rule book for what might be unacceptable to do to another human being.

Suzanne Collins
I squeeze my eyes shut and try to reach for him across the hundreds and hundreds of miles, to send my thoughts into his mind, to let him know he is not alone. But he is. And I can't help him.

Suzanne Collins
Tick tock, this is a clock.
Suzanne Collins
Just last year i wanted to kill him, but now it is my duty to save him.
Suzanne Collins
All those months of taking it for granted that Peeta thought I was wonderful are over. Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly. And I hate him for it.
Suzanne Collins
Something inside me shuts down and I'm too numb to feel anything. It's like watching complete strangers in another Hunger Games. But I do notice they omit the part where I covered her in flowers. Right. Because even that smacks of rebellion.
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
Oh, the fun we two have together.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not flailing now, as my muscles are rigid with the tension of holding myself together.
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
We had to save you because you're the mockingjay, Katniss, says Plutarch. While you live, the revolution lives.
