More quotes by Suzanne Collins
Katniss Everdeen, you have caused a spark, wich left unattended, may cause a spark that could cause a whole rebelion
Suzanne Collins
Every day when I wake I tell myself that it will be my last. If you are not trying to hold on to time, you are not so afraid of losing it... And then, if you make it to bedtime, you feel the joy of cheating death out of one more day.
Suzanne Collins
Yes, and I’m sure the arena will be full of bags of flour for me to chuck at people.
Suzanne Collins
But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will be more hopeful than this awful piece o time we call today.
Suzanne Collins
I'm not their slave, the man mutters. I am, I say. That's why I killed Cato ... and he killed Thresh ... and he killed Clove ... and she tried to kill me. It just goes around and around, and who wins? Not us. Not the districts. Always the Capitol. But I'm tired of being a piece in their Games.
Suzanne Collins
I don't know how to say it exactly. Only... I want to die as myself. Does that make any sense? he asks. I shake my head. How could he die as anyone but himself. I don't want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I'm not.
Suzanne Collins
The more likable he is, the more deadly he is.” -Katniss Everdeen
Suzanne Collins
Thinking like your prey. . . that's where you find their vulnerabilities.
Suzanne Collins
My death could, in fact, save him. If it can't, no matter. It's enough to die of spite. To punish Haymitch, who, of all the people in this rotting world, has turned Peeta and me into pieces in his Games. I trusted him. I put what was precious in Haymitch's hands. And he has betrayed me.
Suzanne Collins
Barbarism? That's ironic coming from a woman helping to prepare us for slaughter. And what's she basing our success on? Our table manners?
Suzanne Collins
I wish she was dead,' he says. 'I wish they were all dead and we were, too. It would be best.
Suzanne Collins
I do think you're mad and I'll still go with you.
Suzanne Collins
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
I'm not good at talking about myself.
Suzanne Collins
What do I mean when I say I love Gale? I don't know. I did kiss him last night, in a moment when my emotions were running so high. But I'm sure he doesn't remember it. Does he? I hope not. If he does, everything will just get more complicated and I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite.
Suzanne Collins
But there was only one kiss that made me feel something stir deep inside. Only one that made me want more. But my head wound started bleeding and he made me lie down.
Suzanne Collins
It’s the first time I’ve ever kissed a boy, which should make some sort of impression I guess, but all I can register is how unnaturally hot his lips are from the fever.
Suzanne Collins
I don't write about adolescence. I write about war. For adolescents.
Suzanne Collins
Let them go, I tell myself. Say good-bye and forget them. I do my best, thinking of them one by one, releasing them like birds from the protective cages inside me, locking the doors against their return.
Suzanne Collins
And she’s very clever, Peeta. Well, she was. Until you outfoxed her
Suzanne Collins
