More quotes by Suzanne Collins
The more you can distract yourself, the better.
Suzanne Collins
Then I dive into my tent before I do something stupid like cry.
Suzanne Collins
I go back to my room and lie under the covers, trying not to think of Gale and thinking of nothing else.
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
I look down from the branch I'm perched on. The Careers look murderous. Now I smile.'How have things been with you?' I ask sweetly.
Suzanne Collins
I wish they were all dead and we were, too. It would be best. Well, there's no good response to that. I can hardly dispute it since I was walking around with a syringe to kill Peeta when I found them. Do I really want him dead? What I want...what I want is to have him back.
Suzanne Collins
Whose is it, do you think? I say finally. No telling, says Finnick. Why don't we let Peeta claim it, since he died today?
Suzanne Collins
I'm running on hate. When the energy from that ebbs I'll be worthless.
Suzanne Collins
Positioned on my dresser, that white-as-snow rose is a personal message to me. It speaks of unfinished business. It whispers, I can find you. I can reach you. Perhaps I am watching you now.
Suzanne Collins
Something small and quiet, like a match being struck, lights up the gloom inside of me.
Suzanne Collins
It's your own fault for being so camera-ready, I tell Gale. If looks could kill.
Suzanne Collins
I look at Peeta and he gives me a sad smile. I hear Haymitch's voice. You could do a lot worse. At this moment, it's impossible to imagine how I could do any better. The gift...it is perfect. So when I rise up on my tiptoe to kiss him, it doesn't seem forced at all.
Suzanne Collins
I don't know what it is with Finnick and bread, but he seems obsessed with handling it.
Suzanne Collins
Sorry excuses for hunters and friends. Both of us.
Suzanne Collins
But the only thing that distracts me from my current situation is fantasizing about killing President Snow.
Suzanne Collins
Entrails. No hissing. This is the closest we will ever come to love.
Suzanne Collins
Because that's what you and I do, protect each other.
Suzanne Collins
I can't help comparing what I have with Gale to what I'm pretending to have with Peeta. How I never question Gale's motives while I do nothing but doubt the latter's. It's not a fair comparison really. Gale and I were thrown together by a mutual need to survive. Peeta and I know the other's survival means our own death. How do you sidestep that?
Suzanne Collins
And suddenly, it's as if there's no one in the world but these two, crashing through space to reach each other. They collide, enfold, lose their balance, and slam against a wall, where they stay. Clinging into one being. Indivisible.
Suzanne Collins
They don't know that I'm already asking for the moon.
Suzanne Collins
