Fear doesn't shut you down it wakes you up
Veronica Roth
From your results I have determined that you are one of the strongest Divergent, which I say not to compliment you but to explain my purpose. If I am to develop a simulation that cannot be thwarted by the Divergent mind, I must study the strongest Divergent mind in order to shore up all weaknesses in the technology.
Veronica Roth
He stares at me, and I don't look away. He isn't a dog, but the same rules apply. Looking away is submissive. Looking him in the eye is a challenge. It's my choice.
Veronica Roth
People tend to overestimate my character, I say quietly. They think that because I'm small, or a girl, or a Stiff, I can't possibly be cruel. But they're wrong.
Veronica Roth
Writing means not just staring ugliness in the face, but finding a way to embrace it.
Veronica Roth
People are supossed to aspire to become their fathers, not shudder at the thought.
Veronica Roth
Psyche you out? I repeat. I'm your FRIEND. I wouldn't do that. He doesn't say anything. I can tell he doesn't believe me-not quite.
Veronica Roth
I pout my lower lip for a second, but then I grin as the pieces come together in my mind. THAT'S why you like me! I exclaim. Because you're not very nice either! It makes so much more sense now.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
Resisting is worth doing.
Veronica Roth
You're more than Dauntless, he says in a low voice. But if you want to be just like them, hurling yourself into ridiculous situations for no reason and retaliating against your enemies without any regard for what's ethical, go right ahead. I thought you were better than that, but maybe I was wrong.
Veronica Roth
I feel a thread tugging me again, but this time I know that it isn’t some sinister force dragging me toward death. This time I know it’s my mother's hand, drawing me into her arms. And I go gladly into her embrace.
Veronica Roth
Tris, said tobias. I love you
Veronica Roth
Nature is neutral. Nature doesn't care how much money a person makes.
Veronica Roth
Let the guilt teach you how to behave next time.
Veronica Roth
It's strange how a word, a phrase, a sentence, can feel like a blow to the head.
Veronica Roth
I settle into their pace. The uniform pounding of feet in my ears and the homogeneity of the people around me makes me believe that I could choose this. I could be subsumed into Abnegation’s hive mind, projecting always outward.
Veronica Roth
I also don't believe that whatever come after life depends on my correctly reciting a list of my transgressions-that sounds too much like an Erudite afterlife to me, all accuracy and no feeling.
Veronica Roth
In order to have peace, we must first have trust.
Veronica Roth
Just do what you're supposed to.
