Veronica Roth
It was him or me. I chose me. But I feel dead too.

I was so afraid that we would just keep colliding over and over again if we stayed together, and that eventually the impact would break me. But now I know I am like the blade and he is like the whetstone- I am too strong to break so easily, and I become better, sharper, every time I touch him.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
His hand touches my waist, steadies me. The touch sends a shock through my body, and all my insides burn like his fingers ignited them. I pull close to him, pressing my body against his, and lift my head to kiss him.
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 wipe my face with my sleeve, laughing so hard my stomach hurts. If my entire life is like this, loud laughter and bold action and the kind of exhaustion you feel after a hard but satisfying day, I will be content.
Veronica Roth
I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave. I suppose that now, I must become more than either.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now.
Veronica Roth
