Katniss Everdeen Quotes

Did you have a nightmare? I have nightmares, too. Someday I'll explain it to you, why they came, why they won't ever go away, but I'll tell you how I survive it. I make a list in my head... of all the good things I've seen someone do. Every little thing I can remember. It's like a game. I do it over and over. Gets a little tedious after all these years, but... there are much worse games to play.

We all have one enemy, and that's Snow! He corrupts everyone and everything! He turns the best of us against each other. Stop killing for him! Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol! Turn your weapons to Snow!

We can take down the Capitol.

Prim! PRIMROSE!

Katniss Everdeen : You should have been the Mockingjay. Nobody else would tell you what to say.
Johanna Mason : But nobody likes me.
Katniss Everdeen : They're afraid of you.

I wish he'd hurry up with that last part.

Katniss Everdeen : I know you. You were a stylist in the Games.
Tigris : Until Snow decided I wasn't pretty enough anymore.
Katniss Everdeen : I'm here to kill him.

Gale Hawthorne : So now that we're dead, what're we gonna do?
Peeta Mellark : Isn't it obvious? The next move is to kill me.

Effie Trinket : Promise me you'll find it.
Katniss Everdeen : Find what?
Effie Trinket : The life of a Victor.

Katniss Everdeen : I'm going to kill Snow. Nothing good is safe while he's alive. And I can't make another speech about it. No more cameras. No more propos. No more Games. He needs to see my eyes when I kill him.
Johanna Mason : Now you're talking.

Johanna Mason : Well, there she is. The Mockingjay. Oh, that speech you gave. Oh, man, feel. I mean, still have goosebumps.
Johanna Mason : You don't mind, do you? They cut off my supply of morphling. There's this head doctor that comes in and sees me every day, trying to help me adjust to reality. Like some guy from this rabbit's warren actually knows anything about my reality. At least twenty times in a session, he tells me that I'm totally safe. Safe from the Capitol. Safe from Snow. What about you, Mockingjay? You feeling totally safe?
Katniss Everdeen : 'Till I got shot.
Johanna Mason : Oh, please. The bullet didn't even touch you. Cinna saw to that. Of course your costume would be bulletproof. So, what are your injuries?
Katniss Everdeen : Bruised ribs, bruised lung.
Johanna Mason : I'm surprised they haven't found you a new lung. I mean, I've got two. Do you want one of mine? I mean, it's everybody's job to keep you alive.
Katniss Everdeen : Is that why you hate me?
Johanna Mason : Partly. You're also a little hard to swallow. The whole tacky romance drama and the "defender of the hopeless" act. Even though it's not an act, which makes it even more unbearable. Feel free to take any of this personally.

Gale Hawthorne : What's goin' on in your head?
Katniss Everdeen : I don't know.
Gale Hawthorne : That's like kissin' someone who's drunk. Doesn't count.

Gale Hawthorne : I saw Peeta before we left.
Katniss Everdeen : And what did you think?
Gale Hawthorne : Something selfish.
Katniss Everdeen : That you don't have to be jealous of him anymore.
Gale Hawthorne : No. I don't stand a chance if he doesn't get better. You'll never let him go.

Gale Hawthorne : What's the difference, Katniss? Crushing the enemy in a mine or blowin' them outta of the sky with one of Beetee's arrows. It's the same thing.
Katniss Everdeen : We were under attack in District 8. And that hovercraft wasn't filled with civilians.
Gale Hawthorne : Doesn't matter. Even if those civilians are just moppin' floors, they're helping the enemy. And if they have to die, I can live with that. No one who supports the Capitol is innocent.
Katniss Everdeen : With that kind of thinking, you can kill whoever you want. You can send kids off to the Hunger Games to keep the districts in line.
Gale Hawthorne : It's war, Katniss. Sometimes killing isn't personal. Figured if anyone knew that, it was you.
Katniss Everdeen : I, of all people, know that it's always personal.
