Can you tell me where to find Tobias'? I ask. When I imagine his face, affection for him bubbles up inside of me and all I want to do is kiss him. 'Four, I mean. He's so handsome, isn't he? I don't really understand why he likes me so much. I'm not very nice, am I?' -Tris

Veronica Roth
You need to be passionate about the creative work that you're doing, but you need to be kind of emotionally separated from how people react to it or how it does. Those things should be secondary, and primary should be your love of the creative act.
Veronica Roth
If I let a little of the emotion out, all of it will come out, and it will never end.
Veronica Roth
She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love, not misplace disgust for another person's genetics.
Veronica Roth
Don't pretend, I say Breathily. You know I'm not. I'm not ugly, but I am certainly not pretty. Fine. You're not pretty. So? He kisses my cheek. I like how you look. You're deadly smart. You're brave.
Veronica Roth
Nature is neutral. Nature doesn't care how much money a person makes.
