More quotes by Veronica Roth
I feel acutely aware of how young I am. In a way that is good. It's productive. It makes me realise that I should be growing as a writer and a person.
Veronica Roth
There are men with guns up there. When they see me, they will kill me, if they can, I tell my father quietly. I search his eyes. Should I let them? He stares at me for a few seconds. Go, he says, and God help you.
Veronica Roth
I feel empty, not because of sadness, but because of relief, all the tension flowing out of me.
Veronica Roth
You don’t believe things because they make your life better, you believe them because they’re true.
Veronica Roth
You're not a coward just because you don't want to hurt people.

Veronica Roth
You may have succeeded in shutting down the attack simulation, girl, but it was by luck alone, not skill. I would die of shock if you managed to do anything useful again for a long time This is the Marcus that Tobias knows. The one who knows right where to hit to cause the most damage.

You promised you wouldn't tell her, she says, pointing at me. What happened to protecting her? I changed my mind, I say. Tris laughs, harshly,That's what you told him, that he would be protecting me? That's a pretty skillful manipulation. Well done.
Veronica Roth
Can you be a girl for a few seconds? I'm always a girl I frown. You know what I mean. Like a silly, annoying girl I twirl my hair around my finger. Kay.
Veronica Roth
Cowardice is how you decide to be in real life
Veronica Roth
Though I know that he had something to do with the attack simulation, and with all those deaths, I find it difficult to pair those actions with the man I see in front of me. I wonder if this is how it is with all evil men, that to someone, they look just like good men, talk like good men, are just as likeable as good men.
Veronica Roth
It's stupid to miss a thing when there are so many people to miss instead, but I miss this train already, and all the others that carried me through the city, my city, after I was brave enough to ride them. I brush my fingers over the car wall, just once, and then jump.
Veronica Roth
Change, like healing, takes time.
Veronica Roth
I have to admit that Christina is good—though I don’t like giving credit to Candor smart-mouths—and so is Peter—though I don’t like giving credit to future psychopaths.
Veronica Roth
You don’t always have to smack people in the face with how strong you are
Veronica Roth
It is impossible to erase my choices.
Veronica Roth
Four flips the gun in this hand, presses the barrel to Peter's forehead, and clicks a bullet into place. Peter freezes with his lips parted, the yawn dead in his mouth. Wake. Up, Four snaps. You are holding a loaded gun, you idiot. Act like it.
Veronica Roth
I don't have a bullet in my head, do I? So I'm fine.
Veronica Roth
We can’t survive alone, but even if we could, we wouldn't want to.
Veronica Roth
Well, half of half our faction.' 'In some circles they call that a quarter, Mar,' Lynn says.
