More quotes by Veronica Roth
I will be my undoing, If I become my obsession. I will forget the ones I love, If I do not serve them. I will war with others, If I refuse to see them.

Veronica Roth
For a few minutes we kiss, deep in the chasm, with the roar of water all around us. And we rise, hand in hand, I realize that if we had both chosen differently, we might have ended up doing the same thing, in a safer place, in gray clothes instead of black ones.
Veronica Roth
Arrogance is one of the flaws in the Erudite heart -- I know. It is often in mine.
Veronica Roth
The goal of my life isn't just... to be happy. 'Wouldn't it be easier if it was, though?
Veronica Roth
Caleb runs up to me and folds me carefully in his arms. I breathe a sigh of relief. I thought I had gotten to the point where I didn’t need my brother anymore, but I don’t think such a point actually exists.
Veronica Roth
We can't be confined to one way of thinking, and that terrifies our leaders. It means we can't be controlled. And it means that no matter what they do, we will always cause trouble for them.
Veronica Roth
She is well practiced in the art of losing herself.
Veronica Roth
People tend to overestimate my character, I say quietly. They think that because I'm small, or a girl, or a Stiff, I can't possibly be cruel. But they're wrong.
Veronica Roth
It is amazing how pretending to be in a different faction changes everything -- even the way I walk. That must be why it's so strange that I could easily belong in three of them.
Veronica Roth
What's worse: to be idle while someone dies, or to be exiled and empty-handed?
Veronica Roth
