Veronica Roth
In order to have peace, we must first have trust.
Veronica Roth
No one's perfect, I whisper. It doesn't work that way. One bad thing goes away, and another bad thing replaces it. I traded cowardice for cruelty I traded weakness for ferocity.

Veronica Roth
You promised you wouldn't tell her, she says, pointing at me. What happened to protecting her? I changed my mind, I say. Tris laughs, harshly,That's what you told him, that he would be protecting me? That's a pretty skillful manipulation. Well done.
Veronica Roth
It's strange to see people you don't know well in the morning, with sleepy eyes and pillow creases in their cheeks
Veronica Roth
I try to leave some space in my mind for things to surprise me or change my mind, I think that's important.
Veronica Roth
This concept could easily have gone awry. Stories about love tend to go that way sometimes. They wander into the realm of cheese and never return, which I think is a shame, because there is a way to write about romantic love without breaking out the Velveeta.
Veronica Roth
So you're her brother? Says Linn. I guess we know who got the good genes.
Veronica Roth
It is impossible to erase my choices.
Veronica Roth
Awkwardness aside, it's nice to be liked.
Veronica Roth
Not like Tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles, like he is surprised you bothered to look at him in the first place.
Veronica Roth
I keep finding myself stifled by the company of others and then crippled by loneliness when I leave them. I am terrified and I don't even know of what, because I have lost everything already.
Veronica Roth
