Veronica Roth
Nothing else is alright. But we are. -Tobias

Tris: Wait. So you have no idea what my aptitude is? Tori: Yes and No. My conclusion is that you display equal aptitude for Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite. People who get this kind of result are..are called...Divergent.
Veronica Roth
I notice, however, that Peter only pretends to inject himself—when he presses the plunger down, the fluid runs down his throat, and he wipes it casually with a sleeve. I wonder what it feels like to volunteer to forget everything.
Veronica Roth
Lies require commitment.
Veronica Roth
I will be my undoing If I become my obsession.
Veronica Roth
I wish we were alone,” he says. “I almost always wish that,” I say.
Veronica Roth
