Veronica Roth
Fear doesn't shut you down it wakes you up
Veronica Roth
I feel his heartbeat against my cheek,as fast as my own. Are you afraid of me, too, Tobias? Terrified, he replies with a smile.
Veronica Roth
You were afraid of shooting people? No, I say. I was afraid of my considerable capacity to kill. How many young men fear that there is a monster inside of them?

I always appreciate people's opinions, but sometimes I have to take a step back and remember why I'm writing and what I want to do with it. Shutting out the voices is difficult but it's been good for me.
Veronica Roth

I breathe in. The water will wash my wounds clean. I breathe out. My mother submerged me in water when I was a baby, to give me to God. It has been a long time since I thought about God, but I think about him now. It is only natural. I am glad, suddenly, that I shot Eric in the foot instead of the head.
Veronica Roth
Humans can't tolerate emptiness for long.
Veronica Roth
The truth has a way of changing people's plans.
Veronica Roth
My skepticism is strong, but my curiosity is stronger.
Veronica Roth
Please. They're like the Cult of Four.
Veronica Roth
I would be shocked by the lack of security if we were not at Amity headquarters. They often straddle the line between trust and stupidity.
Veronica Roth
In the days that follow, it's movement, not stillness, that helps to keep the grief at bay.
Veronica Roth
Life's something we already understand. Death is a mystery.
Veronica Roth
It is more important for you to be safe than right, for the time being. Understand? (...) But please, when you see an opportunity...ruin them
Veronica Roth
I close my eyes. I don't expect Four to reassure me, and he makes no effort to, but I feel better standing here than I did out there among the people who are my friends, my faction.
Veronica Roth
And I provide much- needed eye candy.
