The battle we are fighting is not against a particular group. It is against human nature - or at least what it has become.

More quotes by Veronica Roth
That is how it feels. Like everything between us is twisted together, friendship and love and family, so I cant tell the difference between any of them.
Veronica Roth
I am selfish. I am brave.
Veronica Roth
Ignore them. They don't know what it is to make a difficult decision. You wouldn't have done it, I bet. That is only because I have been taught to be cautious when I don't know all the information, and you have been taught that risks can produce great rewards.
Veronica Roth
A brave man acknowledges the strength of others.
Veronica Roth
I feel myself acting like a lunatic, but I can't stop. It would be like refusing to breathe.
Veronica Roth
Four! I call out. Why am I calling a number? Oh yes. Because that's his name. — Tris.
Veronica Roth
I understand why she did all those things, but that doesn't mean we aren't still broken.
Veronica Roth
I met him while I was imprisoned, I say, and my voice sounds far away even to me. I was just curious. I wouldn't judge him too harshly, says Fernando. Jeanine can be extraordinarily persuasive to those who aren't naturally suspicious. I have always been naturally suspicious. ... Yeah, I say. So have I.
Veronica Roth
I feel acutely aware of how young I am. In a way that is good. It's productive. It makes me realise that I should be growing as a writer and a person.
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
This is how we came by our factions: Candor, Erudite, Amity, Abnegation and Dauntless. Max smiles. In them we find administrators and teachers and counselors and leaders and protectors. In them we find our sense of belonging, our sense of community, our very lives.
Veronica Roth
People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.
Veronica Roth
she’s not pretty, that word is too small. She is not like the girls I used to stare at, all bend and curve and softness. She is small but strong, and her bright eyes demand attention. Looking at her is like waking up.
Veronica Roth
Tris, Tobias says, crouching next to me. His face is pale, almost yellow. There is too much I want to say. The first thing that comes out is, Beatrice. He laughs weakly. Beatrice, he amends, and touches his lips to mine. I curl my fingers into his shirt.
Veronica Roth
He slides his hand over my cheek, one finger anchored behind my ear. Then he tilts his head down and kisses me, sending a warm ache through my body. I wrap my hands around his arm, holding him there as long as I can. When he touches me, the hollowed-out feeling in my chest and stomach is not as noticeable.
Veronica Roth
I am his, and he is mine, and it has been that way all along.
Veronica Roth
It's what you deserve to hear, I say firmly, my eyes going cloudy with tears. That you're whole, that you're worth loving, that you're the best person I've ever known.
Veronica Roth
She must love me, to worry about me. She must still be capable of love.
Veronica Roth
And is it selfish of me to crave victory, or is it brave?
Veronica Roth
It was him or me. I chose me. But I feel dead too.
Veronica Roth
