Veronica Roth
I don't want to try to live up to someone who's created something so incredible. I'm just trying to focus on what I'm doing and what I do best. It's sometimes hard to focus in and only think about my books rather than how they measure up to someone else's.
Veronica Roth
You look older.” “Yes, well. The passage of time tends to do that to a person.
Veronica Roth
Candor does not provide us with protection, sustenance, or technological innovation. Therefore you are expendable to us.
Veronica Roth
I feel myself acting like a lunatic, but I can't stop. It would be like refusing to breathe.
Veronica Roth
Independent and uninvolved. Must be nice. -Tris
Veronica Roth
Now she looks pale and small, but her eyes make me think of wide- open skies that I have never actually seen, only dreamed of.
Veronica Roth
