More quotes by Veronica Roth
Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.
Veronica Roth
I know that I'll be writing for young adults for a long time. Mostly because I just love the readers and the teachers and librarians that I interact with.
Veronica Roth
No. Because it's so stupid no Dauntless with any sense would speak it, let alone think it. Pansycake. What are you, twelve? And a half, he says.
Veronica Roth
In our factions, we find meaning, we find purpose, we find life.
Veronica Roth
What's worse: to be idle while someone dies, or to be exiled and empty-handed?
Veronica Roth
It is a gift. You cannot earn it, or it ceases to be a gift.
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
People tend to overestimate my character, I say quietly. They think that because I'm small, or a girl, or a Stiff, I can't possibly be cruel. But they're wrong.
Veronica Roth
A Dauntless Ferris wheel wouldn’t have cars. You would just hang on tight with your hands, and good luck to you.
Veronica Roth
I brought you the truth about our city and the reason we are in it. If you aren't thanking me for it, you should at least do something about it instead of sitting here on this mess you made, pretending it's a throne!
Veronica Roth
What? I ask. I'm developing a theory. And it is? She picks up her hamburger, grins, and says, That you have a death wish.
Veronica Roth
And he’s right to say that every faction loses something when it gains a virtue: the Dauntless, brave but cruel the Erudite, intelligent but vain the Amity, peaceful but passive the Candor, honest but inconsiderate the Abnegation, selfless but stifling.
Veronica Roth
I close my eyes. I don't expect Four to reassure me, and he makes no effort to, but I feel better standing here than I did out there among the people who are my friends, my faction.
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
I am proud. It will get me into trouble someday, but today it makes me brave
Veronica Roth
I have discovered that sitting still leaves little spaces for the grief to get in, so I stay busy.
Veronica Roth
His eyes search the crowd until they find my face. My heartbeat lives in my throat lives in my cheeks. I still don't understand, he says softly, how she knew that it would work.
Veronica Roth
He stares at me, and I don't look away. He isn't a dog, but the same rules apply. Looking away is submissive. Looking him in the eye is a challenge. It's my choice.
Veronica Roth
Nothing else is alright. But we are. -Tobias
Veronica Roth
My first instinct is to push you until you break just to see how hard I have to press.
