Suicide to them is an act of selfishness. Someone who is truly selfless does not think of himself often enough to desire death.

More quotes by Veronica Roth
Can I ask why you’re throwing knives at cheese?’ ‘Caleb came by to discuss something,’ Tobias says, leaning his head against the wall as he looks at me. ‘And knife-throwing just came up somehow.’ ‘As it so often does,’ I say, a small smile inching across my face.

The opinions of others cannot damage you.
Veronica Roth
Do remember, though, that sometimes the people you oppress become mightier than you would like.
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
Because life is not fair, Albert. And the world is conspiring against you.
Veronica Roth
The Amity Established this place as a safe house. No conflict allowed. The Amity will have trouble enforcing that policy, says Marcus. How do you stop conflict without conflict?
Veronica Roth
Beatrice. We should think of our family. But. But we must also think of ourselves.
Veronica Roth
I would be shocked by the lack of security if we were not at Amity headquarters. They often straddle the line between trust and stupidity.
Veronica Roth
Nature is neutral. Nature doesn't care how much money a person makes.
Veronica Roth
His absence will haunt their hallways, and he will be a space they can't fill. And then time will pass, and the hole will be gone, like when an organ is removed and the body's fluids flow into the space it leaves. Humans can't tolerate emptiness for long.
Veronica Roth
I glance at Tris. She grins at me, then leans in to whisper something to Christina. Are you here to help or what, Stiff? I say.
Veronica Roth
From your results I have determined that you are one of the strongest Divergent, which I say not to compliment you but to explain my purpose. If I am to develop a simulation that cannot be thwarted by the Divergent mind, I must study the strongest Divergent mind in order to shore up all weaknesses in the technology.
Veronica Roth
I forgot my watch. Minutes or hours later, when the panic subsides, that is what I most regret. Not coming here in the first place - that seemed like an obvious choice - but my bare wrist, which makes it impossible for me to know how long I have been sitting in this room. My back aches, which is some indication, but it is not definite enough.
Veronica Roth
I was so afraid that we would just keep colliding over and over again if we stayed together, and that eventually the impact would break me. But now I know I am like the blade and he is like the whetstone- I am too strong to break so easily, and I become better, sharper, every time I touch him.
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 is a reason you don’t know all the things I know. -Marcus Eaton
Veronica Roth
I'm not Dauntless - I'm Divergent. I am whatever I choose to be.
Veronica Roth
But now, I am also learning this: we can be mended. We mend each other.
Veronica Roth
I am his, and he is mine, and it has been that way all along.
Veronica Roth
Being honest doesn't mean you say whatever you want, wherever you want. It means that what you choose to say is true.
