If your kids are anything like mine they are totally crazy about the Hunger Games books and now the movie. So I thought some quotes from the first book might come in handy. Enjoy and please add your own favorites to the end.
“Here’s some advice. Stay alive.”
-Haymitch Abernathy
“Winning means fame and fortune.
Losing means certain death.
The Hunger Games have begun…”
“Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol they don’t own me. That I’m more than just a piece in their Games”
-Peeta Mellark
“Panic begins to set in. I can’t stay here. Flight is essential.”…”But I can’t let my fear show”.
-Katniss Everdeen
“The more likable he is, the more deadly he is.”
-Katniss Everdeen
“She has no idea. The effect she can have”
-Peeta Mellark
“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!”
-Effie Trinket
“Scores only matter if they’re very good, no one pays much attention to the bad or mediocre ones.”
-Portia
“Katniss, the girl who was on fire”
-Cinna
“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.”
-Katniss Everdeen
“I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun”.
-Katniss Everdeen
Cinna: “When you’re asked a question, find me, and answer it as honestly as possible.”
Katniss: “Even if what I think is horrible?”
Cinna: “Especially if what you think is horrible.”
Caesar: “Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what’s her name?”
Peeta: “Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping.”
Caesar: “She have another fellow?”
Peeta: “I don’t know, but a lot of boys like her.”
Caesar: “So, here’s what you do. You win, you go home. She can’t turn you down then, eh?”
Peeta: “I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning…won’t help in my case”
Caesar: “Why ever not?”
Peeta: “Because…because…she came here with me.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, let the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games begin!”
Claudius Templesmith
“Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you.”
-Katniss Everdeen
