How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Hunger Games.
Quote #4
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.
It's a rare admission from Snow that a given situation can get out of hand regardless of how preordained it seems to be.
Quote #5
CAESAR: Well, I'll tell you what, Peeta. You go out there and you win this thing, and when you get home, she'll have to go out with you. Right, folks?
PEETA: Thanks, but I don't think winning's gonna help me at all.
CAESAR: And why not?
PEETA: Because she came here with me.
CAESAR: Well, that's bad luck.
PEETA: Yeah, it is.
"Bad luck" is just another word for destiny. Can you say "lose-lose situation"?
Quote #6
PEETA: One of us should go home. One of us has to die. They have to have their victor.
KATNISS: No. They don't. Why should they?
Here's a point where it seems like fate is against our heroes; only one of them can survive. Even though mutual suicide is pretty grim, it still represents a way they can defy that fate.
