There are no safe rooms, no safe truths, no safe secrets to tell.
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
Some people will always fear change. But we can't indulge them.
Veronica Roth
Fear doesn't shut you down it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating. He releases me but doesn't pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. Sometimes I just...want to see it again. Want to see you awake.
Veronica Roth
The only reason I haven't shot you yet is because he's the one who should get to do it, I say. Stay away from him or I'll decide I no longer care.
Veronica Roth
Tris, Tobias says, crouching next to me. His face is pale, almost yellow. There is too much I want to say. The first thing that comes out is, Beatrice. He laughs weakly. Beatrice, he amends, and touches his lips to mine. I curl my fingers into his shirt.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
My name will be Edith Proir, she says. And there is much I am happy to forget.
Veronica Roth
Oh, are we at the insult part of the breakup? she says. Because I got in a lot of practice after what happened with Will. I have several choice things to say about her nose.
Veronica Roth
I’d rather eat out of a can than be strangled by a faction.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes drastic change requires drastic measures.
Veronica Roth
It's when you're acting selflessly that you are at your bravest. --Four in Divergent
Veronica Roth
It will be difficult to break the habits of thinking Abnegation instilled in me, like tugging a single thread from a complex work of embroidery. But I will find new habits, new thoughts, new rules. I will become something else.
Veronica Roth
Morning, I say. Shh, she says. If you don't acknowledge it, maybe it will go away.
Veronica Roth
I tell myself, as sternly as possible, that is how things work here. We do dangerous things and people die. People die, and we move on to the next dangerous thing. The sooner that lesson sinks in, the better chance I have at surviving initiation.
Veronica Roth
I need the protection of seeming weak.
Veronica Roth
I know that change is difficult, and comes slowly, and that it is the work of many days strung together in a long line until the origin of them is forgotten.
Veronica Roth
