More quotes by Veronica Roth
We share a common enemy, but does that make us friends?
Veronica Roth
The division is based on knowledge, based on qualifications - but as I learned from the factionless, a system that relies on a group of uneducated people to do its dirty work without giving them a way to rise is hardly fair.
Veronica Roth
God Tris, are you even human?
Veronica Roth
Where's Marcus, Destroyer of Lives, going to meet us?
Veronica Roth
Welcome to the Amity compound, Johanna's eyes fix on my face, and she smiles crookedly. Let us take care of you.
Veronica Roth
I didn't realize until that moment that Dauntless initiation had taught me an important lesson: how to keep going.
Veronica Roth
So now we all know, says Four, quietly, that you are afraid of a short, skinny girl from Abnegation. His mouth curls into a smile.
Veronica Roth
Caleb and Tris exchange a look. The skin on his face and on her knuckles is nearly the same colour, purple-blue-green, as if drawn with ink. This is what happens when siblings collide - they injure each other in the same way.
Veronica Roth
I can’t answer either question. But the look she gives me reminds me of the look in the attack dog’s eyes in the aptitude test – a vicious, predatory stare. She wants to rip me to pieces. I can’t lie down in submission now. I have become an attack dog too.
Veronica Roth
Scrubbing the floor when no one else wanted to was something that my mother would have done. If I can't be with her, the least I can do is act like her sometimes.
Veronica Roth
It was him or me. I chose me. But I feel dead too.
Veronica Roth
I am his, and he is mine, and it has been that way all along.
Veronica Roth
I don't really control the story. I just let it go where it wants to go. I have no idea what's going to happen in the end or who's going to live, so it's kind of like me saying, I don't know, guys! Just wait. That's what I'm doing!
Veronica Roth
I feel bare. I didn't realize I wore my secrets as armor until they were gone and now everyone sees me as I really am.
Veronica Roth
We can't be confined to one way of thinking, and that terrifies our leaders. It means we can't be controlled. And it means that no matter what they do, we will always cause trouble for them.
Veronica Roth
About when to let others sacrifice themselves for you, even if its selfish. They say that if the sacrifice is the ultimate way for that person to show you that they love you, let them do it.
Veronica Roth
Politeness is deception in pretty packaging.
Veronica Roth
She has been to the compound before. She remembered this hallway. She knows about the initiation process. My mother was Dauntless.
Veronica Roth
My heart beats so hard it hurts, and I can't scream and I can't breathe, but I also feel everything, every vein and every fiber, every bone and every nerve, all awake and buzzing in my body as if charged with electricity. I am pure adrenaline.
Veronica Roth
Two things you should know about me The first is that I am deeply suspicious of people in general. It is my nature to expect the worst of them. And the second is that I am unexpectedly good with computers.
