Sometimes I just... want to see it again. Want to see you awake.
Veronica Roth
You don't have to tell me everything right away, but I have to tell you everything right away? Can't you see how stupid that is?
Veronica Roth
All I want to say is that when you stop being delusional and start feeling desperate because you're too inept to figure this out on your own, you know who to come to.
Veronica Roth
I look older. Maybe it's the short hair or maybe it's just that I wear all that has happened like a mask. Either way, I always thought I would be happy when I stopped looking like a child. But all I feel is a lump in my throat. I am no longer the daughter my parents knew. They will never know me as I am now.

Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
You know, there's a word for big, strong men who attack women, and it's coward.
Veronica Roth
I think you're still the only person sharp enough to sharpen someone like me.
Veronica Roth
I feel like myself, strong and weak at once - allowed, at least for a little while, to be both.
Veronica Roth
I know I belong in Dauntless because everything I did in that aptitude test told me so. I'm loyal to my faction for that reason -- because there's nowhere else I could possibly be. But her? And you? She shakes her head. I have no idea who you're loyal to. And I'm not going to pretend like everything's okay.
Veronica Roth
She is well practiced in the art of losing herself.
Veronica Roth
My skepticism is strong, but my curiosity is stronger.
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
I’d rather eat out of a can than be strangled by a faction.
Veronica Roth
I'll be your family now, he says. I love you, I say. He stares at me. I wait with my hands clutching his arms for stability as he considers his response. He frowns at me. Say it again. Tobias, I say, I love you.
Veronica Roth
Humans can't tolerate emptiness for long.
Veronica Roth
Nothing else is alright. But we are. -Tobias
