Veronica Roth
I know that I am birdlike, made narrow and small as if for taking flight, built straight-waisted and fragile. But when he touches me like he can't bear to take his hand away, I don't wish I was any different.
Veronica Roth
He is not sweet or gentle or particularly kind. But he is smart and brave, and even though he saved me, he treated me like I was strong. That is all I need to know.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
I've done without doing things, like sleeping and eating, but I need to write.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
That our world is so massive that it is completely out of our control, that we cannot possibly be as large as we feel.
Veronica Roth
