He holds my face in both hands and kisses me back. I press into the distance between us until it is gone, crushing the secrets we have kept and the suspicions we have harbored-for good, I hope.

More quotes by Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
I was still afraid of him, I knew, but in a different way - I was no longer a child, afraid of the threat my terrifying father posed to my safety. I was a man, afraid of the threat he posed to my character, to my future, to my identity.
Veronica Roth
But when I do feel all the strength go out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then, or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.
Veronica Roth
Don't confuse your grief with guilt.
Veronica Roth
You're too important to just... die.
Veronica Roth
Guilt [is] a tool, rather than a weapon against the self.
Veronica Roth
