More quotes by Suzanne Collins
Scores only matter if they’re very good, no one pays much attention to the bad or mediocre ones.
Suzanne Collins
So I only say, So what should we do with our last few days? I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you, Peeta replies.
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
It's impossible to be the Mockingjay. Impossible to complete even this one sentence. Because now I know that everything I say will be directly taken out on Peeta. Result in his torture. But not his death, no nothing so merciful as that. Snow will ensure that his life is much worse than death.
Suzanne Collins
The numbness of his loss had passed, and the pain would hit me out of nowhere, doubling me over, racking my body with sobs. Where are you? I would cry out in my mind. Where have you gone? Of course, there was never any answer.
Suzanne Collins
What about Gale? He's not a bad kisser either, I say shortly. And it was okay with both of us? You kissing the other? He asks. No. It wasn't okay with either of you. But I wasn't asking your permission, I tell him. Peeta laughs again, coldly, dismissively. Well, you're a piece of work, aren't you?
Suzanne Collins
And she's my fiancee. So if you want to get to him, expect to go through both of us.
Suzanne Collins
I take a few breaths to calm myself, step back, and lift Buttercup by the scruff of the neck. I should've drowned you when I had the chance. His ears flatten and he raises a paw. I hiss before he gets a chance, which seems to annoy him a little, since he considers hissing his own personal sound of contempt.
Suzanne Collins
Because it doesn't matter anymore, and because I'm so desperately lonely I can't stand it.
Suzanne Collins
Fine. Somebody else can arrange to get the stupid goat knocked up.
Suzanne Collins
What? My head doctor says I'm not supposed to censor my thoughts. It's part of my therapy.
Suzanne Collins
Then I dive into my tent before I do something stupid like cry.
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
Remember, heads high. Smiles. They're going to love you!
Suzanne Collins
And some small gnarled place inside me hated her for her weakness, for her neglect, for the months she had put us through. I had taken a step back from my mother, put up a wall to protect myself from needing her, and nothing was ever the same between us again.
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
Jackson has devised a game called Real or Not Real to help Peeta. He mentions something he thinks happened, and they tell him if it's true or imagined, usually followed by a brief explanation.
Suzanne Collins
Only I keep wishing I could think of a way...to show the Capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games.
Suzanne Collins
A spark could be enough to set them ablaze.
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
