More quotes by Veronica Roth
You think giving you a hug would give away too much? he says. You know, I say. I really don't care. I stand on my tiptoes and press my lips to his. It is the best moment of my life.
Veronica Roth
It isn't the height that scares me - the height makes me feel alive with energy, every organ and vessel and muscle in my body singing at the same pitch. 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
I laugh, mirthless, a mad laugh. I savor the scowl on her face, the hate in her eyes. She was like a machine she was cold and emotionless, bound by logic alone. And I broke her.

Veronica Roth
Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who is detached from you. They just listen to what you tell them and you get to form the way that they see you, whereas everyone else in your life already thinks they know what you're dealing with or what you're going through. That's my recommendation for actual anxiety.
Veronica Roth
Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you.
Veronica Roth
I hear footsteps and Four's hands wrap around my wrists. I let him pry my hands from my eyes. He encloses one of my hands perfectly between two of his. The warmth of his skin overwhelms the ache in my fingers from holding the bars. You all right? he asks, pressing our hands together. Yeah. He starts to laugh.

The person you became with her is worth being.
Veronica Roth
I want to be brave, and selfless, and smart, and kind, and honest.

Caleb and Tris exchange a look. The skin on his face and on her knuckles is nearly the same colour, purple-blue-green, as if drawn with ink. This is what happens when siblings collide - they injure each other in the same way.
Veronica Roth
I wake wondering how I did not notice, every day I sat across from her at the breakfast table, that she was full to bursting with Dauntless energy. Was it because she hid it well? Or was it because I wasn't looking?

Take a person’s memories, and you change who they are.

For someone so small, you're heavy, Stiff, he mutters.
