I take a deep breath. I'm not sure where that swell of desperation came from, but know that I've acknowledge it, it's impossible to ignore, like a living thing has awakened from a long sleep inside me. It writhes in my stomach and throat. I need to leave. I need the truth.

Veronica Roth
I suppose everything is bound to look different when you aren't on your way to die.
Veronica Roth
I know that change is difficult, and comes slowly, and that it is the work of many days strung together in a long line until the origin of them is forgotten.
Veronica Roth
Let me get this straight. So you left the Dauntless compound to get ready for war... and took your makeup bag with you? Yep. Figured it would be harder for anyone to shoot me if they saw how devastatingly attractive I was.
Veronica Roth
Dead people can be our heroes because they can't disappoint us later they only improve over time, as we forget more and more about them.
Veronica Roth
'Divergent' was my utopian world. I mean, that wasn't the plan. I never even set out to write dystopian fiction, that's just what I had when I was finished. At the beginning, I was just writing about a place I found interesting and a character with a compelling story, and as I began to build the world, I realized that it was my utopia.
Veronica Roth
People talk about the pain of grief, but I don't know what they mean. To me, grief is a devastating numbness, every sensation dulled.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
Valuing knowledge above all else results in a lust for power, and that leads men into dark and empty places.
