I laugh, mirthless, a mad laugh. I savor the scowl on her face, the hate in her eyes. She was like a machine she was cold and emotionless, bound by logic alone. And I broke her.

More quotes by Veronica Roth
Those who seek peace above all else, they say, will always deceive to keep the water calm.
Veronica Roth
Resisting is worth doing.
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
I am afraid of her, afraid of what she says-and thrilled by it too, because it means I don't have to accept that I am smaller than I once believed.
Veronica Roth
I suppose that now would be the time to ask for forgiveness for all the things I've done, but I'm sure my list would never be complete. I also don't believe that whatever comes after life depends on my correctly reciting a list of my transgressions...I don't believe that what comes after depends on anything I do at all.
Veronica Roth
Honesty leads to peace.
Veronica Roth
How have I never realized before that for all the strong, kind parts of him, there are also hurting, broken parts?
Veronica Roth
I laugh, and it's laughter, not light, that casts out the darkness building within me, that reminds me I am still alive, even in this strange place where everything I've ever known is coming apart.
Veronica Roth
She has been to the compound before. She remembered this hallway. She knows about the initiation process. My mother was Dauntless.
Veronica Roth
A lot can happen to a person's appearance in three months.
Veronica Roth
Not like Tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles, like he is surprised you bothered to look at him in the first place.
Veronica Roth
They try to make you think they care about what you do but they don't. They don't want you to act a certain way. So you're easy to understand. So you won't pose a threat to them.
Veronica Roth
Fear, she says, is more powerful than pain.
Veronica Roth
I get the strange urge to hit my head against the wall. Other people's sobs make me feel uncomfortable.
Veronica Roth
He is not sweet or gentle or particularly kind. But he is smart and brave, and even though he saved me, he treated me like I was strong. That is all I need to know.
Veronica Roth
Everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.
Veronica Roth
Though I know that he had something to do with the attack simulation, and with all those deaths, I find it difficult to pair those actions with the man I see in front of me. I wonder if this is how it is with all evil men, that to someone, they look just like good men, talk like good men, are just as likeable as good men.
Veronica Roth
I suppose everything is bound to look different when you aren't on your way to die.
Veronica Roth
Okay. Then...I can talk. Ask me something. Okay. He laughs shakily in my ear. Why is your heart racing Tris? I cringe and say, Well, I...I barely know you. I barely know you and I'm crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?... Maybe you were cut out for Candor, he says, because you're a terrible liar.
Veronica Roth
And I provide much- needed eye candy.
