I have to admit that Christina is good—though I don’t like giving credit to Candor smart-mouths—and so is Peter—though I don’t like giving credit to future psychopaths.

The opinions of others cannot damage you.
Veronica Roth
This is bizarre, I say. I think it's beautiful, he says. I give him a look. What? He laughs a little. They each have an equal role in government they each feel equally responsible. And it makes them care it makes them kind. I think that's beautiful.
Veronica Roth
Suicide to them is an act of selfishness. Someone who is truly selfless does not think of himself often enough to desire death.
Veronica Roth
As a teenager, I put a lot of pressure on myself, and a lot of that, for me, was about finding a moral high ground. As I've grown up, I've decided to abandon that because it made me judgmental and also stressed me out.
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
He pulls me over the railing and against his chest, gathering me into his arms, easing an arm under my knees. I press my face into his shoulder, and there is a sudden, hollow silence.
Veronica Roth
I feel like myself, strong and weak at once - allowed, at least for a little while, to be both.
Veronica Roth
Come on,'he says.' I have something else to show you.
Veronica Roth
My mother told me once that we can't survive alone, but even if we could, we wouldn't want to. Without a faction we have no purpose and no reason to live.
Veronica Roth
Why would the factionless have a high Divergent population? It sounds like she's smirking. Obviously those who can't confine themselves to a particular way of thinking would be most likely to leave a faction or fail its initiation, right?
Veronica Roth
Eric walks toward me, and I back away by instinct. I try not to be afraid of him, but I know how smart he is and that if I’m not careful he’ll notice that I keep staring at her, and that will be my undoing.
Veronica Roth
I confessed to Tobias, soon after that, that I had lost my entire family. And he assured me that he was my family now. -Tris Prior
Veronica Roth
Thank you for your honesty, Niles says. The Candor repeat the phrase under their breath. All around me are the words Thank you for your honesty at different volumes and pitches, and my anger begins to dissolve.
Veronica Roth
I breathe in. The water will wash my wounds clean. I breathe out. My mother submerged me in water when I was a baby, to give me to God. It has been a long time since I thought about God, but I think about him now. It is only natural. I am glad, suddenly, that I shot Eric in the foot instead of the head.
Veronica Roth
I didn't realize until that moment that Dauntless initiation had taught me an important lesson: how to keep going.
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. Therefore, I choose to turn away From my reflection, To rely not on myself But on my brothers and sisters, To project always outward Until I disappear [And only God remains.]
Veronica Roth
If utopian fiction became the new trend, I wouldn't read it.
Veronica Roth
How strange that something so simple could have been instrumental in my decision to ruin one of my most relationships and friendships, and damage another.
Veronica Roth
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 can’t leave now. I like her too much. There, I said it. But I won’t say it again.
