More quotes by 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.

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

Veronica Roth
Then I realize what it is. It's him. Something about him makes me feel like I am about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames.
Veronica Roth
Arrogance is one of the flaws in the Erudite heart -- I know. It is often in mine.
Veronica Roth
He holds my face in both hands and kisses me back. I press into the distance between us until it is gone, crushing the secrets we have kept and the suspicions we have harbored-for good, I hope.
Veronica Roth
Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you.
Veronica Roth
Insurgent, he says. Noun. A person who acts in opposition to the established authority, who is not necessarily regarded as a belligerent.
Veronica Roth
What's your name? Um... Think about it. You don't get to pick again. Tris.
Veronica Roth
Evil depends on where you're standing.
Veronica Roth
It's wrong, he says. It doesn't matter if your parents are in a better place, they aren't here with you, and that's wrong, Tris. It shouldn't have happened. It shouldn't have happened to you. And anyone who tells you it's okay is a liar.
Veronica Roth
We don't need you as an ally. We're Dauntless. -Tori
Veronica Roth
And sometimes, if you want the truth, you have to demand it.
