Because life is not fair, Albert. And the world is conspiring against you.
Veronica Roth
We could visit him, suggests Will. But what would we say? 'I didn't know you that well, but I'm sorry you got stabbed in the eye'?

I was so afraid that we would just keep colliding over and over again if we stayed together, and that eventually the impact would break me. But now I know I am like the blade and he is like the whetstone- I am too strong to break so easily, and I become better, sharper, every time I touch him.

Veronica Roth
Nothing else is alright. But we are. -Tobias
Veronica Roth
I feel like someone is pressing me into a mold that does not fit my body, forcing me intothe wrong shape.
Veronica Roth
My heart beats so hard it hurts, and I can't scream and I can't breathe, but I also feel everything, every vein and every fiber, every bone and every nerve, all awake and buzzing in my body as if charged with electricity. I am pure adrenaline.
Veronica Roth
That’s one way of looking at it. I prefer to look at it another way—which is that if they are persistent enough, even tiny drops of water, over time, can change the rock forever. And it will never change back.
Veronica Roth
Maybe there's more we all could have done, but we just have to let the guilt remind us to do better next time.
Veronica Roth
Psyche you out? I repeat. I'm your FRIEND. I wouldn't do that. He doesn't say anything. I can tell he doesn't believe me-not quite.
Veronica Roth
There are no safe rooms, no safe truths, no safe secrets to tell.
Veronica Roth
And sometimes, if you want the truth, you have to demand it.
Veronica Roth
Not like Tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles, like he is surprised you bothered to look at him in the first place.
