Veronica Roth
I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren't all that different.
Veronica Roth
It’s not a perfect situation. But when you have to choose between two bad options, you pick the one that saves the people you love and believe in most. You just do. Okay?
Veronica Roth
And he’s right to say that every faction loses something when it gains a virtue: the Dauntless, brave but cruel the Erudite, intelligent but vain the Amity, peaceful but passive the Candor, honest but inconsiderate the Abnegation, selfless but stifling.
Veronica Roth
It would be nice if life worked this way, stripping the dirt from our lives and sending us back out into the world clean. But some dirt is destined to lingered.
Veronica Roth
