The Hunger Games quotes

President Snow : Seneca... why do you think we have a winner?
Seneca Crane :What do you mean?
President Snow : I mean, why do we have a winner? I mean, if we just wanted to intimidate the districts, why not round up twenty-four of them at random and execute them all at once? Be a lot faster.
President Snow : Hope.
Seneca Crane : Hope?
President Snow : Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained.
Seneca Crane : So...?
President Snow : So, CONTAIN it.

Seneca Crane

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Katniss Everdeen

Katniss Everdeen : I volunteer! I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!
Effie Trinket : Uh... I believe we have a volunteer.
