Veronica Roth
I want people to come away from my book with questions. Questions about virtue and goodness. Not answers.
Veronica Roth
It would be stupid to confide your entire plan to one person. It’s infinitely smarter to give little pieces of it to each person working with you. That way, if someone betrays you, the loss isn’t too great.
Veronica Roth
I used to think that when people fell in love, they just landed where they landed, and they had no choice in the matter afterward. And maybe that's true of beginnings, but it's not true of this, now.
