More quotes by Veronica Roth
It's not often real that you encounter the real person behind a good-natured mask, the darkest part of someone. It's not comfortable what you do.
Veronica Roth
And sometimes, if you want the truth, you have to demand it.
Veronica Roth
Can I be forgiven for all I've done to get here? I want to be. I can. I believe it.
Veronica Roth
If I let a little of the emotion out, all of it will come out, and it will never end.
Veronica Roth
Caleb and Tris exchange a look. The skin on his face and on her knuckles is nearly the same colour, purple-blue-green, as if drawn with ink. This is what happens when siblings collide - they injure each other in the same way.

I only came for Cake -Tobias Eaton, Divergent
Veronica Roth
When i get home, I sit on the front step and take deep breaths of the cool spring air for a few minutes. My mother was the one who taught me to steal moments like those, moments of freedom, though she didn't now it. I watched her... But I learned something else from watching her too, which is that the free moments always have to end.

That is how it feels. Like everything between us is twisted together, friendship and love and family, so I cant tell the difference between any of them.
Veronica Roth
How is it I know this little about the boy who says he loves me -- the boy whose real name is powerful enough to keep us alive in a train car full of enemies?
Veronica Roth
He should be the one to die, part of me thinks. I don't want to lose him, another part argues. I don't know which part to believe.
Veronica Roth
Be brave, Beatrice. I love you.
Veronica Roth
No selfishness or insecurity kept him from seeing the full extent of her goodness, as it so often does with the rest of us. That kind of love may only be possible in Abnegation. I do not know.
Veronica Roth
He pus his lips next to my ear and says, “You look good, Tris.
Veronica Roth
They all laugh. We all laugh. And it occurs to me that I might be meeting Tobias's true faction. They are not characterized by a particular virtue. They claim all colors, all activities, all virtues, and all flaws as their own.
Veronica Roth
For me, it feels like driving from truth into a lie, from adulthood to childhoold. I watch the land of pavement and glass and metal turn into an empty field. The snow is falling softly now, and I can faintly see the city's skyline up ahead, the buildings just a shade darker than the clouds.
Veronica Roth
I glance at Tris. She grins at me, then leans in to whisper something to Christina. Are you here to help or what, Stiff? I say.
Veronica Roth
Leaving us with Eric is like hiring a babysitter who spends his time sharpening knives.
Veronica Roth
I pout my lower lip for a second, but then I grin as the pieces come together in my mind. THAT'S why you like me! I exclaim. Because you're not very nice either! It makes so much more sense now.
Veronica Roth
That night we push our cots just a little closer together, and look into each other's eyes in the moments before we fall asleep. When he finally drifts off, our fingers are twisted together in the space between the beds. I smile a little, and let myself go.
Veronica Roth
The shouts of triumph become infectious, and I lift my voice to join in, running toward my teammates. Christina holds the flag up high, and everyone clusters around her, grabbing her arm to lift the flag even higher. I can't reach her, so I stand off to the side, grinning. A hand touches my shoulder. Well done, Four says quietly.
