WOW! That’s hard to choose from…um…let me think….Nicjorgi was right, that IS a good one, but I also love (and this is more than one sentance) “I curl up on my side and stare at the patches of moonlight on the cement floor. Back in the arena. Back in the place of nightmares.” I think it really shows the emotions and horror running hrough Katniss’s head at that moment.

What did Finnick Odair want?” he asks. I turn and put my lips close to Peetas and drop my eyelids in imitation of Finick. “He offered me a sugar cube and wanted to know all my secrets” I say in my best seductive voice. Peeta laughs “ugh, not really.” “Really, i’ll tell you more when my skin stops crawling.” – Katniss and Peeta.

Oh man, I have a ton.

But two that no one has mentioned yet…

It crosses my mind that Cinna’s calm and normal demeanor masks a complete madman. ~Katniss

& I’m not sure if this is word-for-word, but something like this:

For a moment I feel guilty about killing something so fresh and innocent. Then my stomach grumbles at the thought of all that fresh and innocent meat. ~ Katniss (referring to the young buck she shot to get Prim’s goat)

Oh yes. I forgot my absolute almost-favorite Team Gale quote (my fave has already been said by Suzy and Blooming Katniss)

(Gale is all injured and has just woken up)
Gale: I thought you’d be gone by now.
Katniss: No, I’m gonna stay here and cause all kinds of trouble.
Gale (smiling): Me too.

It’s a really tough choice, but I think I’ll go with these:

“I can’t go down without a fight. 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, THG

“Rue, who when you ask her what she loves most in the world, replies, of all things, ‘Music.’” – Katniss thinking, THG

“I thought I was an expert on hunger, but this is an entirely new kind.” – Katniss thinking, CF

Katniss, the girl on fire, has left behind her flickering flames and bejeweled gowns and soft candlelight frocks. She is as deadly as fire itself. – Katniss thinking, CF

“We star-crossed lovers from District 12, who suffered so much and enjoyed so little the rewards of our victory, do not seek the fans’ favor, grace them with our smiles, or catch their kisses. We are unforgiving.” – Katniss thinking, CF

”Beauty that arose out of pain.” – Katniss thinking, CF

Cat Lady’s was one of my fav.s (Katniss talking about the place of nightmares). I also love: “My knees give way and he’s holding me up. As the alcohol overcomes my mind, I hear the glass bottle shatter on the floor. This seems appropriate since I have obviously lost my grip on everything.” ~Katniss, Catching Fire, page 179.

Also:

When we’re called to eat, Haymitch pounces on me immediately. “So at least half the victors have instructed their mentors to request you as an ally. I know it can’t be your sunny personality.”

“They saw her shoot,” says Peeta with a smile. “Actually, I saw her shoot, for real, for the first time. I’m about to put in a formal request myself.”

well they are more paragraphs than lines:

“I’m sure they didn’t notice anything but you. You should wear flames more often,” he says. “They suit you.” And then he gives me a smile that seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me. (Hunger Games, p. 72)

and also

I give up. Stop speaking, responding, refuse food and water. They can pump whatever they want into my arm, but it takes more than that to keep a person going once she’s lost the will to live. I even have a funny notion that if I do die, maybe Peeta will be allowed to live. (CF p. 389)

And I just love this, it always makes me smile!

A smile creeps onto my lips. ‘Green. What’s yours?’
‘Orange,’ he says.
‘Orange? Like Effie’s hair?’ I say.
‘A bit more muted,’ he says. ‘More like…sunset.’” -Katniss & Peeta

I dont have the book with me ..
so I’ll just spit out what I think it sounds like ..

From Mockingjay ..

1. “Isn’t it weird that I would risk my life to save you, but I dont even know your favourite colour?” – Peeta
….. it’s just so romantic and sweet :)

2. The man who whistled was dragged up the stairs, forced to be on his knees, and had a bullet shot up his head.
…… Lol, I really dont remember xD
but this was the part where I was totally stunned,
I had to read it 4 times to believe it.
And even later, when I read it again, I feel the same shock
like I did when I read it the first time.

So many awesome quotes, but I really love this scene:

Really, the combination of the scabs and the ointment looks hideous. I can’t help enjoying his distress.
“Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven’t looked pretty?” I say.
“It must be. The sensation’s completely new. How have you managed it all these years?” he asks.
“Just avoid mirrors. You’ll forget about it,” I say.
“Not if I keep looking at you,” he says.

by Alex on July 01 - 10:56 am

Oh my gosh, there are sooo many! The first one that popped into my mind, though was,
“You here to finnish me off, sweetheart?”
In that moment it was like, wahoo! Katniss found Peeta! I totally didn’t expect it right then so it was just so exciting!
Then, I don’t remember exactly, but it was right after Peeta fell asleep with the stuff Katniss gave him so she could go get the medicine from the feast,
“Who said I’m a bad liar?”
Again, that’s probably not exactly right.

“We have a big bathtub”
-Katniss to Finnik as she reaches the Cornucopia

This is SOOOO unrelated, but my sister and I laughed so hard! In the first book when Katniss and Peeta are in the cave-thing. They get a pot of soup. She then has to go and get whatever is in the pack at the Feast. I was reading it too my sister, and when she opens the pack I said, “and inside the pack was… a spoon!” My sister was sooo confused. I said, “You know, when they got the soup, the spoon was not included…” So now the code name for the series is Spoon. We laughed sooooooo hard!

I give up. Stop speaking, responding, refuse food and water. They can pump whatever they want into my arm, but it takes more than that to keep a person going once she’s lost the will to live. I even have a funny notion that if i do die maybe Peeta will be allowed to live.

To add to a quote from someone earlier:
“Hey, Haymitch, if you’re not too drunk, we could use a little something for our skin.”
It’s almost funny how quickly the parachute appears above me. I reach up and the tube lands squarely in my open hand. “About time,” I say, but I can’t keep the scowl off my face. Haymitch. What I wouldn’t give for five minutes of conversation with him.

My with out a doubt favorite is

It’s on page 122. I think it really describes Katniss. Plus, it’s relatable.

One of my favorite parts in THG is one pg312 when Katniss and Peeta are eating:
Katniss: I can feel Effie Trinket shuddering at my manners.
Peeta: Hey Effie, watch this! (procedures to lick plate clean.) We miss you Effie!
It made me laugh :D

In CF:

That whole “getting the goat knocked up” scene made my laugh. (pg155-157).

Katniss: I guess this is a bad time to mention I hung a dummy and painted Seneca Crane’s name on it.
Cinna: You…hung…Seneca Crane? (pg241)

Wiress: Tick, tock. Tick, tock.
Johanna: Yeah, we know. Tick, tock. Nuts is in shock. (pg320)

Oh, there’s so many other little ones that really just enhance the entire series. LOVE.

my favorite dramtic line is “this is no place for a girl on fire”
sad is “if this is prim’s, i mean rue’s last wish, than i have to do it” (might not be exact)
and all around best is ” may the odds be ever in your favor”

well this is my favorite conversation from the book-
Effie:Just remember, Katniss, you want the audience to like you.
Katniss: And you don’t think they will?
Effie: Not if you glare at them the entire time. Why don’t you save that for the arena? Instead, think of yourself among friends.
Katniss: They’re betting on how long I’ll live! They’re not my friends!
Effie: Well, try and pretend! See, like this. I’m smiling at you even though you’re aggravating me.
Katniss: Yes, it feels very convincing. (115)

“Good. Then I won’t be responsible for you killing off any of my friends with your stupidity.”

He’s right about Peeta being stupid, because, come on, we all know he is. But Katniss is smart.

“Stay alive.”

“But I feel as if I did know Rue, and she will always be with me. Everything beutiful brings her to mind. I see her in the yellow flowers that grow in the Meadow by my house. I see her in the mockingjays that sing in the trees. But most of all I see her in my sister, Prim. Thank you for your children. And thank you all for the bread.”

!st i like to say that i am and always will be tean GALE! :) i knew since i opend the book and got to the part where Katniss and him were in the woods that they were meant to be together!! i knew that he loved her but she couldnt tell because she didnt know that there was something there! and when she was in the room and he was going to tell her that he loved her before they pulled him away i was just mad! and so what if he cant show her that he loves her! if he does then the capitol would know that she is not realy in too peeta and they could kill her and her family…they need to show more of Gales love for Katniss on the 3rd book..if in the end Katniss and Peeta end up together i would be so mad becuse then she would be doing what the capitol wants her to be with and the book is about going agesnt everything the capitol tells them to do!
and Gale has protected her family since she left for the games that shows that he would do anything for her he can protect her..
in the end of book 2 he saved her family form being killed in District 12 .. that alone shows how much he loves her..and would do anything for her…

I just figured out one of my favourite quotes! (by reding hunger games of course:)). In the end of first book, Peeta says;
“One more time? For the audience?”
It’s just so sad! I can’t explain it, but I brust into tears every time I read it!

These are my favorite dialogues.

1. K:”Poor Finnick. Is this the first time you haven’t looked pretty?”
F: It must be. The sensation’s completely new. How have you managed it all there years.”
K: “Just aviod mirrors. You’ll forget about it.”
F: “Not if I keep looking at you.”

2. ” So it’s you and a syringe against the Capitol> See, this is why no one lets you make the plans.”

3. P:” What did Finnick want?”
K: I turn and put my lips close to Peeta’s and drop my eyelids in imitation of Finnick and say, “He offered me sugar cubes and wanted to know all my secrets.”

4. K: “Killing is much easier than this. Although for all i know, I am killing you.”
P: “Well can you speed it up a little.”
K: “No shut up and eat your pears.”

There are a lot of favorites for me, but I think I’ll put one no one has said yet, even though it’s a bit late to respond. My favorite is the scene in CF where the morphling is dying and Peeta is talking to her. It made me cry.

I don’t remember the exact quote, but it’s when Gale and Katniss are just talking in the beginning of The Hunger Games and Gale talks about killing humans and animals and says, “How different are they really?” Oooh, I got shivers.

“I always channel my emotions into my work. That way I don’t hurt anyone but myself.”

“You see I kept thinking it was yellow, but it was much more than that. Layers of all sorts of color. One by one.”

“Peeta agrees to do it but then disappears to his room for a long time. Haymitch tells me to leave him alone.
‘I thought he wanted it, anyway,’ I say.
‘Not like this,’ Haymitch says, ‘he wanted it to be real.’” That line just breaks my heart.

“He took my face in his hands and kissed me…’I had to do that. At least once.’”

“Did you choose me, Haymitch?”
“Yeah.”

“Oh, I don’t care if you see me.” – Peeta
“I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you.” – Peeta
“…If you die, and I live, there’s no life for me at all back in District Twelve. You’re my whole life. I would never be happy again.” -Peeta
“Done knocking yourself out, sweetheart?” – Haymitch
