What are some of your favorite quotes from THG?
This one's sort of obvious (and rather iconic), but I like Effie's "May the odds be ever in your favor!" especially that first scene where Katniss and Gale are making fun of it.

"Good and safe," I say as I pass under its branch. "We don't have to worry about her now." Good and safe.

Oh, Great StarClan, you guys are going to get me started on quotes again!
Well, my faves, (for starters):
"To the everlasting credit of the people of District Twelve, not one person claps."
"You're not afraid of fire, are you, Katniss?"
"Twirl for me."
"Even if what I think is horrible?"
"Especially if what you think is horrible."
"no one pays much attention to the bad or mediocre ones."
(and, yeah, of COURSE I would include those last few. This is me we're talking about, remember?)
"She told me to try really hard to win."
"And what did you say?"
"I swore I would."
"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."
"You have to win."
"Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings
them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings
them true
Here is the place where I love you."
"I want to do something, right here, right now, to shame them, to hold them accountable. To show them that whatever they do or force us to do, there's a part of every tribute that they can't own. That Rue was more than just a piece in their Games. And so am I."
"You here to finish me off, sweetheart?"
Wow, all of that made me sound like an over-obsessed geek who doesn't even bother to get out the books to quote things anymore.

I love the quote,
"Well, you better learn fast. You've got about as much charm as a dead slug."

I want "No. Shut up and eat your pears." on a shirt. Seriously.

I'll probably design it on Zazzle. I have a few shirts there designed that I can't afford to buy yet. xD

Completley unrelated, but...there's a site where you can design your own t-shirts? Where? Can I find it? Can I join it? Can I finally make myself a shirt that says "Actual Reality - Act Out - Fight AIDS"??

I love this:
'Come to finish me off sweetheart?' -Peeta
I also love: 'twirl for me'
'The star crossed lovers'
'Peeta looke what Haymitch sent you!'
'And this is the first real kiss where it isnt forced or the other half it half knoched this is the first kiss leaving me wanting more'-I know it is'nt the acatuall quote but it's the only one i can't really remember by memory pluse i think you et what i mean!
'“Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun'
“Here’s some advice. Stay alive.” -Haymitch Abernathy
She has no idea. The effect she can have” -Peeta Mellark
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
“Ladies and gentlemen, let the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games begin!”Claudius Templesmith
Panic begins to set in. I can’t stay here. Flight is essential.”…”But I can’t let my fear show”.
-Katniss Everdeen
“Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you.”-Katniss Everdeen
“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

"Even though it was years ago, I think he still remembers how I tried to drown him in a bucket when Prim brought him home."
"Entrails. No hissing. This is the closest we will ever come to love."
And here's one from MJ that I just LOVE:
"Fine! Someone else can spend their time getting the stupid goat knocked up!" (not the actual quote, but you get the point)
And finally, here's a little preview of one of my stories (OMG I'm getting so off-topic!! But I love this quote and I need to say it, otherwise it might be overlooked.)
"How are you feeling today?" asks Kat.
"Kinda tired, actually," I yawn, rubbing my injured hip.
Suddenly, Kat slaps me--hard--across the face. "I said, how are you feeling today?!" she cries.
"L-Like stabbing someone!" I stutter my reply, thinking, and right now, that someone is named Kataramizu. (Kataramizu is Kat)

NECROPOST!
My favorite quote from the first book is probably also
"Entrails. No hissing. This is the closest we will ever come to love."
I've only read the series once, and it's the only quote I really remember distinctly.
