More quotes by Veronica Roth
She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love... That it should be done from necessity, not without exhausting all other options. That it should be done for people who need your strength because they don't have enough of their own.
Veronica Roth
I don't want to try to live up to someone who's created something so incredible. I'm just trying to focus on what I'm doing and what I do best. It's sometimes hard to focus in and only think about my books rather than how they measure up to someone else's.
Veronica Roth
If Eric thinks I did something right, I must have done it wrong.

So how can I hold Tobias’s desperation against him, like I’m better than him, like I’ve never let my own brokenness blind me?
Veronica Roth
Before I chose Dauntless...I felt assured of my long lifespan, if nothing else. Now there are no reassurances except that where I go, I go because I choose to.
Veronica Roth
Everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.
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
I came here so that no one else would die. I came here to protect as many people as I could. And I care more about Tobias's safety than anyone else's. So why am I here, if he's here? What's the point?
Veronica Roth
I decide to do what I always do when I'm not sure what's going on: I act like everyone else.
Veronica Roth
You're too important to just... die.
Veronica Roth
Yes, I say. Three of these flying birds. I touch my collarbone, marking the path of their flight - toward my heart. One for each member of the family I left behind.
Veronica Roth
What's your name? Um... Think about it. You don't get to pick again. Tris.

Caleb runs up to me and folds me carefully in his arms. I breathe a sigh of relief. I thought I had gotten to the point where I didn’t need my brother anymore, but I don’t think such a point actually exists.
