Veronica Roth
There are no safe rooms, no safe truths, no safe secrets to tell.

Out of my peripheral vision, I see Four shove the door open and walk out. Apparently this fight isn't interesting enough for him. Or maybe he's going to figure out why everything's spinning like a top, and I don't blame him I want to know the answer too.
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
Cowardice is how you decide to be in real life
Veronica Roth
I think about pressing myself against him, but I can't, because all our secrets would keep a space between us.

Veronica Roth
I pause a second. He doesn't look at me the way Will, Christina, and Al sometimes do - like I am too small and too weak to be of any use, and they pity me for it.
Veronica Roth
Lies require commitment.
Veronica Roth
I should probably be afraid. But instead a hysterical laugh bubbles inside me, because I just remembered something: Maybe I can’t hold a gun. But I have a knife in my back pocket.
Veronica Roth
I keep finding myself stifled by the company of others and then crippled by loneliness when I leave them. I am terrified and I don't even know of what, because I have lost everything already.
Veronica Roth
I have your back. I didn't mean only when it's easy. All the time.
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 Amity Established this place as a safe house. No conflict allowed. The Amity will have trouble enforcing that policy, says Marcus. How do you stop conflict without conflict?
Veronica Roth
People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.
Veronica Roth
Since he saved me from the attack, I have associated his smell with safety, so as long as I focus on it, I feel safe now.
Veronica Roth
She must love me, to worry about me. She must still be capable of love.
Veronica Roth
You know, most boys would enjoy being trapped in close quarters with a girl. I roll my eyes. Not claustrophobic people, Tris.
Veronica Roth
Just as I have insisted on his worth, he has always insisted on my strength, insisted that my capacity is greater than I believe. And I know, without being told, that's what love does, when it's right-it makes you more than you were, more than you thought you could be. This is right.
