More quotes by Veronica Roth
Arrogance is one of the flaws in the Erudite heart -- I know. It is often in mine.
Veronica Roth
That's what love does. When it's right, it makes you more than you were, more than you thought you could be.
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
What do I believe? I do not know I do not know I do not know.
Veronica Roth
He stares at me, and I don't look away. He isn't a dog, but the same rules apply. Looking away is submissive. Looking him in the eye is a challenge. It's my choice.
Veronica Roth
Maybe I was afraid to trust him with something so personal as my devotion.
Veronica Roth
Okay. Then...I can talk. Ask me something. Okay. He laughs shakily in my ear. Why is your heart racing Tris? I cringe and say, Well, I...I barely know you. I barely know you and I'm crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?... Maybe you were cut out for Candor, he says, because you're a terrible liar.
Veronica Roth
I am a naturally curious person. -Tris
Veronica Roth
Oh. I just assumed... That because I am so absorbed by him everyone must be too.

Veronica Roth
Valuing knowledge above all else results in a lust for power, and that leads men into dark and empty places.
Veronica Roth
I hear my heartbeat. I have been looking at him too long, but then, he has been looking back, and I feel like we are both trying to say something the other can't hear, though I could be imagining it. Too long - and now even longer, my heart even louder, his tranquil eyes swallowing me whole.
Veronica Roth
I feel like what I have become is halfway between my mother and my father, violent and impulsive and desperate and afraid. I feel like I have lost control of what I have become.
Veronica Roth
Four: Be brave Tris. The first time is always the hardest.
Veronica Roth
Don't pretend, I say Breathily. You know I'm not. I'm not ugly, but I am certainly not pretty. Fine. You're not pretty. So? He kisses my cheek. I like how you look. You're deadly smart. You're brave.
Veronica Roth
It's strange how a word, a phrase, a sentence, can feel like a blow to the head.
Veronica Roth
I feel empty, not because of sadness, but because of relief, all the tension flowing out of me.
Veronica Roth
I settle into their pace. The uniform pounding of feet in my ears and the homogeneity of the people around me makes me believe that I could choose this. I could be subsumed into Abnegation’s hive mind, projecting always outward.
Veronica Roth
It doesn't prove anything except that you're bullying us. Which, as I recall, is a sign of cowardice.
Veronica Roth
But I think that no matter how smart, people usually see what they're already looking for, that's all.
Veronica Roth
