More quotes by Veronica Roth
It's stupid to miss a thing when there are so many people to miss instead, but I miss this train already, and all the others that carried me through the city, my city, after I was brave enough to ride them. I brush my fingers over the car wall, just once, and then jump.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
I also wanted to ask you if we can talk to the Erudite you're keeping safe here, I say. I know they're hidden, but I need access to them. And what do you intend to do? she says. Shoot them, I say, rolling my eyes. That isn't funny.
Veronica Roth
In the days that follow, it's movement, not stillness, that helps to keep the grief at bay.
Veronica Roth
Do remember, though, that sometimes the people you oppress become mightier than you would like.
Veronica Roth
Looking at her is like waking up.
Veronica Roth
I am wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans, black shoes--new clothes, but beneath them, my Dauntless tattoos. It is impossible to erase my choices. Especially these.
Veronica Roth
feel Tobias brushing my hair back before the first simulation. I hear him telling me to be brave. I hear my mother telling me to be brave(...) I am brave.
Veronica Roth
I would rather be dead than empty
Veronica Roth
I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last.
Veronica Roth
Our eyes meet. I hear a train horn, so faint it could be wind whistling through an alleyway. But I know it when I hear it. It sounds like the Dauntless, calling me to to them.
