More quotes by Veronica Roth
Sometimes I still forget to look for the gentler parts of her. For so long all I saw was the strength, standing out like the wiry muscles in her arms or the black ink marking her collarbone with flight.
Veronica Roth
Fighting for survival in a shattered world... the truth is her only hope.
Veronica Roth
Leaving us with Eric is like hiring a babysitter who spends his time sharpening knives.
Veronica Roth
That execution will take place here. She runs her fingertips over the table beneath her. On this table. I thought it would be interesting to show you. I knew what would happen when I came here, I say. It's just a table. And I'd like to go back to my room now.
Veronica Roth
What irritates me most about him is his natural goodness, his inborn selflessness.
Veronica Roth
There is a reason you don’t know all the things I know. -Marcus Eaton
Veronica Roth
The only reason I haven't shot you yet is because he's the one who should get to do it, I say. Stay away from him or I'll decide I no longer care.
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
So now we all know, says Four, quietly, that you are afraid of a short, skinny girl from Abnegation. His mouth curls into a smile.
Veronica Roth
She tips her chin up and looks at me with that Abnegation stubbornness I know so well. She may have left them, but they are what’s making her strong.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes I just... want to see it again. Want to see you awake.
Veronica Roth
I am selfish. I am brave.
Veronica Roth
I feel empty, not because of sadness, but because of relief, all the tension flowing out of me.
Veronica Roth
Caleb, I say, I love you. His eyes gleam with tear as he says, I love you, too, Beatrice.
Veronica Roth
We could visit him, suggests Will. But what would we say? 'I didn't know you that well, but I'm sorry you got stabbed in the eye'?
Veronica Roth
We may both be bad, but there’s a huge difference between us—I’m not content with being this way.
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
People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.
Veronica Roth
It must require bravery to be honest all the time.
Veronica Roth
Fear doesn't shut you down it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating. He releases me but doesn't pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. Sometimes I just...want to see it again. Want to see you awake.
