That it's no good loving me because I'm never going to get married anyway and he'd just end up hating me later instead of sooner.
Suzanne Collins

All the writing elements are the same. You need to tell a good story... You've got good characters... People think there's some dramatic difference between writing 'Little Bear' and the 'Hunger Games,' and as a writer, for me, there isn't.

They can fatten me up. They can give me a full body polish, dress me up, and make me beautiful again. They can design dream weapons that come to life in my hands, but they will never again brainwash me into the necessity of using them. I no longer feel allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despite being one myself.
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.

Why am I hopping around like some trained dog trying to please people I hate?

Tomorrow's a hunting day, I say. I won't be much of a help with that, Peeta says. I've never hunted before. I'll kill and you cook, I say. And you can always gather. I wish there was some sort of bread bush out there, says Peeta.

Not if we blow it up, Gale says brusquely. His intent, his full intent, becomes clear. Gale has no interest in preserving the lives of those in the Nut. No interest in caging the pray for later use. This is one of his death traps.
Suzanne Collins

Listen up. You're in trouble. Word is the Capitol's furious about you showing them up in the arena. The one thing they can't stand is being laughed at and they're the joke of Panem
Suzanne Collins

Yes, it's your fault I'm alive.
Suzanne Collins

How much better my life has been for knowing him. For loving him, even if it's only in the limited way that I can manage. But I never get the chance.
Suzanne Collins

It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love.
Suzanne Collins

He became my confidante, someone with whom I could share thoughts I could never voice...In exchange, he trusted me with his.
Suzanne Collins
Image
There's always hand-to-hand combat. All you need is to come up with a knife, and you'll at least stand a chance. If I get jumped, I'm dead! I can hear my voice rising in anger. But you won't! You'll be living up in some tree eating raw squirrels and picking off people with arrows.
Suzanne Collins
Image
They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!
Suzanne Collins

Kind people have a way of working their way inside me and rooting there.
Suzanne Collins

But if you want to find peace, you must first be able to hope it is possible.

What? My head doctor says I'm not supposed to censor my thoughts. It's part of my therapy.
Suzanne Collins

The main thing I feel is a sense of relief. That I can give up this game. That the question of whether I can succeed in this venture has been answered, even if that answer is a resounding no. That if desperate times call for desperate measures, I am free to act as desperately as I want.
