Suzanne Collins citáty

strana 19

„Víš, mohl bys žít tisíc životů a nezasloužit si ho.“

„Šťastné hladové hry! A nechť vás vždy provází štěstěna.“

„Neočekávejte, že budeme příliš ohromeni. Právě jsme viděli Finnicka Odaire ve spodním prádle.“

„Ničení věcí je mnohem snazší než jejich výroba.“

„Nechci ztratit toho chlapce s chlebem.“

„Mé noční můry jsou většinou o tom, že tě ztrácím. Jsem v pořádku, jakmile si uvědomím, že jsi u mě.“

„Nezapomenete tvář člověka, který byl vaší poslední nadějí.“

“"We didn't bomb the train tunnel, you know. Some of them will probably get out."
"And then we'll shoot them when they show their faces?" I ask.
"Only if we have to," he answers.”

““When you’re on the chariot this time, no waving, no smiling. I just want you to look straight ahead, as if the entire audience is beneath your notice.”
“Finally something I’ll be good at,” I say.”

“I thought I detected in you a sense of fair play. Most dangerous in the Underland, boy.”

“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.”

“Buttercup begins to wail as well. He circles me, just out of reach, as wave after wave of sobs racks my body, until eventually I fall unconscious. But he must understand. He must know that the unthinkable has happened and to survive will require previously unthinkable acts. Because hours later, when I come to in my bed, he's there in the moonlight. Crouched beside me, yellow eyes alert, guarding me from the night.”

“And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen back home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread.”

“So, now that we’re dead, what’s our next move?”

“"Was there fighting after I was shot?"
"Not much. The workers from the Nut turned on the Capitol soldiers. The rebels just sat by and watched," he says. "Actually, the whole country just sat by and watched."
"Well, that’s what they do best," I say.”

“My Name is Katniss Everdeen. I am seventeen years old. My home is District 12. I was in The Hunger Games. I escaped. The Capitol hates me. Peeta was taken prisoner. He is thought to be dead. Most likely he is dead. It is probably best if he is dead…”

“Whatever problems anyone may have with the Capitol, believe me when I say that if it released its grip on the districts for even a short time, the entire system would collapse.”

“Hendrix says one of the most important things Battle Royale and The Hunger Games share is the idea of teenagers trapped in a ruined society, coerced by grownups into doing horrible things.”

“Hendrix has read the interviews where Collins has flatly denied knowing about Battle Royale before she wrote The Hunger Games.”

“I wonder what Gale made of the incident for a moment and then I push the whole thing out of my mind becouse for some reason Gale and Peeta do not coexist well together in my thoughts.”
