Suzanne Collins Hunger Quotations

The film opens up the world beyond Katniss' point of view, allowing the audience access to the happenings of places like the Hunger Games control room and President Snow's rose garden, thereby adding a new dimension to the story.

Both the 'Gregor' series and 'The Hunger Games' are what I call lightning-bolt ideas. There was a moment where the idea came to me. With 'The Hunger Games,' the lightning bolt sort of hit at a moment when I was channel surfing between reality TV and the coverage of the Iraq war.

Let the Hunger Games Begin!

You've got to go through it to get to the end of it.

It's strange to be so physically close to someone who's so distant

Sick and disoriented, I'm able to form only one thought: Peeta Mellark just saved my life.

You here to finish me off, Sweetheart?

You’ve got about as much charm as a dead slug.

Flight is essential, but I can't let my fear show.

You call that a kiss?

Embrace the probability of your imminent death....and know there is nothing i can do to save you.

We fight, we dare, we end our hunger for justice.

Just don't die for me, you won't be doing me any favour !

Okay, listen to me, you're stronger than they are. You are. They just want a good show, that's all they want. You know how to hunt. Show them how good you are.

Don't. Don't let's pretend when there's no one around.

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

I'm more than just a piece in their Games.
