To live factionless Is not just to live in poverty and discomfort it is to live divorced from society, separated from the most important thing in life: community.

Veronica Roth

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
My mother told me once that we can't survive alone, but even if we could, we wouldn't want to. Without a faction we have no purpose and no reason to live.
Veronica Roth
Pride blinds people to the truth of what they are.
Veronica Roth
Sarcasm is always at someone's expense.
Veronica Roth
For a few minutes we kiss, deep in the chasm, with the roar of water all around us. And we rise, hand in hand, I realize that if we had both chosen differently, we might have ended up doing the same thing, in a safer place, in gray clothes instead of black ones.
Veronica Roth
All I want to say is that when you stop being delusional and start feeling desperate because you're too inept to figure this out on your own, you know who to come to.
Veronica Roth
