Hi everyone! This is something that has been done in the past, but I've been trying for a while now to bring it back and I've finally the time and determination to do it (because let's be honest this is a very daunting task). This idea is always something that I've loved very dearly as I am a huge believer in spreading love and encouraging people to keep doing what they love to do (which I'll assume is writing since we're all on a writing site). Besides, who doesn't love a good compliment every now and then. If you say you don't we all know you're lying so don't even try!! So, for every games day I'm going to do my best to collect my favorite quote/quotes from each tributes post and document them here so everyone can enjoy reading them as much as I do. I've started with the blood and I think I've gotten everybody. It's rather difficult when posts are scattered around. None of them are in any particular order, they just happen to be my favorite from the posts as I was reading through. And without farther ado, let's get to it!
I think of my ancestor and how an arena, a day just like this had killed him. Savages had killed him, just like the ones I see in the distance. The very wolves Vargen had warned me about prowling behind their cage doors, ravenous and hungry for blood. For mine.

Greed guides me, a golden hand wrapped around my throat. And I am ruthless as I march ahead, striking at anyone who comes too close.
They will feel the bite of my nails before my blade.
Just like him. No, he couldn't do that. He couldn't beat someone simply to make himself feel better. He wasn't his step-father.- Kire
If she gave in to fear, it’d consume her like an endless void. She couldn’t afford that. After all, she’d promised something to Two, and she was a woman of her word.- goat
The club felt as though it were the sharp teeth my sister and I would harvest from dead wolves, but stronger, edged dangerously, aglow as most hazard signs were. I gave it a swirl, tested its weight, and then brandished it.
Earning your teeth made one a complete beast.
Her lips parted in fear as well as a cry of fear that escaped in the middle of the night.
No one came to wake her.- *
Raising her hood and untucking the cloak from her pants, she begins to run away gracefully in the air. Effortlessly like a kite, she watches the red cape behind her run, waving away to the Cornucopia which was slowly falling apart.
She survived this part of the Arena, but as she runs, the pressure begins to mount. There's more game to play, but for now, Little Red flew out into the night.- MATTIO
It's my last safety net. It's my last time of guaranteed safety because once I step onto the platform the game is on.- Cato
People who've wronged me, paid me, ruined me, left me to die, taken me in, who gave a fuck - all I know is that right now they're in my way. And it's this I hold on to when the countdown ends and we spring to life, leaping off of the pedestal and hitting the ground running - they're in my way.
Here's hoping they get the fuck out of the way before I kill them.- ✨
You look up, at the chaos, eyes wide, the drumming of your heart, the drumming of their beating fists against one another. Hands against flesh, fists against bone. It is too much- and so you run.- ali
Because as much as you claimed that you wanted to die again and again. You didn’t really want too. You wanted to live. And that was the most painful realization, even more than getting sliced up into tiny pieces.- ryan
At home, my father’s voice and the sound of glass often fade this way, to a hum that soothes rather than rattles. Here, the pounding of feet and the sound of screaming do just the opposite, and my brain bumps from side-to-side against my skull. I pull a fist back, trying to force back the silence.
I am looking for a steady hand.
I can do this. She whispers silently to herself. Five Rhodes have gone before her, and now she makes the sixth. Maybe it'll make a difference, but surely nobody wants another Rhodes to make it out of this alive.- knuckles
“I don’t want to die” I tell him, my voice still shaking from my minute cry session. ‘I know,” he responds,- @dreamerkid
It was an adventure to go to war, an adventure to fight, an adventure to die. It was no wonder the ancient people had blown themselves up.
War wasn’t an adventure. It was hell.
But Ridley was supposed to be the devil, and hell was where she belonged.- Stare
For once you finally feel entirely broken away from the walls of your crumbling castle. For once you feel as though you aren't a prince of porcelain, but a prince of power.- Arrows
I can feel the target on my back sinking into my skin, it bites, but it does not hurt—rah—the feeling only adds to my awareness, as if it is encouraging every fibre of my being to wake up and stay, well and truly, alive.
Shining sun in the sky, I catch a glimpse of it. It paints the ground gold but it bleeds red.
This is metallic.
He blinked, tried to clear the vision of home. It was almost like an illness, this dreamy mirage. Homesickness. He’d never understood that concept before.
Still, this could be the last sunrise he'd ever see. He wouldn't want to miss that, not for anything. Efram saw the sky start its slow climb from blue to red, sat at his window. Ripred, he wanted the sun to never rise, wanted to savour every moment of it- ghosty
Loneliness will not be my end, the words of wisdom that have followed me the past few days have been abided by.
In those nighttime visions called dreams, I saw an arctic arena, cold and unforgiving as tributes' blood changed the color of the snow it dripped into.- kap
But as the gong sounds, signalling the beginning to your end, fear is pushed to the side, replaced only by grim determination.
If today is to be the day you die, then you’ll be sure that you’ll give each and every one of your killers as much hell to pay as you can muster.- lance
I don't want to die.
He can't.
I'll rip them apart brick by fucking brick.
He will.
This is the only way.
It is.
Death is watching.
They are.
I have to be strong.
The timer ends and the panic sets in.
Liam, I love you.- Tom
