More quotes by Veronica Roth
She believes that Tobias belongs to her now. She doesn't know the truth, that he belongs to himself.
Veronica Roth
I will be my undoing, If I become my obsession. I will forget the ones I love, If I do not serve them. I will war with others, If I refuse to see them. Therefore, I choose to turn away From my reflection, To rely not on myself But on my brothers and sisters, To project always outward Until I disappear [And only God remains.]

I'm a fairly religious person, so I believe in some things that sound a little crazy I'm sure, depending on where you're standing. I believe in leaving room for things that you can't explain in the universe, and you don't have to be religious to leave room for those things.

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
Today you will choose your factions. Until this point you have followed your parents’ paths, your parents’ rules. Today you will find your own path, make your own rules.
Veronica Roth
Instead I just let the silence stretch out between us. It's the only adequate response to what he just told me, the only that does the tragedy any justice instead of patching it hastily and moving on.
Veronica Roth
Dead people can be our heroes because they can't disappoint us later they only improve over time, as we forget more and more about them.
Veronica Roth
I do trust you, is what I want to say. But it isn't true -- I didn't trust him to love me despite the terrible things I had done. I don't trust anyone to do that, but that isn't his problem it's mine.
Veronica Roth
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. My mother once told me 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

Veronica Roth
