The Hunger Games

"You've got to learn to use what you're good at."

"I'm drunk because it helps me forget. What's your excuse?"

"Your only job is to stay alive long enough to get sponsors."

"Love is a luxury. Survival is a necessity."

"I've been to the Games. I know what kills you."

"The dead don't need my help. The living do."

"You want sponsors? Give them something they've never seen before."

"Nobody cares what happened to me. They care about what happens to you."

"Keep your allies close and your enemies closer."

"You think you're the first person to be scared? You're not special."

"I didn't volunteer. I was reaped, just like you."

"The key is to make people want to sponsor you. Money is survival."

"There's no such thing as a safe bet in the Hunger Games."

"You've got to make yourself desirable. That's how you stay alive."

"Everybody wants to be the savior of their own story."

"You want to know what your real problem is? You don't know how to play the game."

"I'm not your friend. I'm your mentor."

"The real fight isn't in the arena. It's out there."

"You're a lot smarter than you look, kid."

"Stay alive. That's all that matters."

"The clock is always ticking for those without power."

"I have seen what men do when given unlimited power—nothing surprises me."

"Strength without vision is merely violence."

"The Games are a mirror held to society's truth."

"One cannot build an empire on sentiment."

"I am not afraid of death; I am afraid of irrelevance."

"Betrayal is simply another form of currency in Panem."

"The world I have created will outlive my breath."

"Time moves slower for those who fear the future."

"I have learned to smile while calculating deaths."
