Veronica Roth

Oh. I just assumed... That because I am so absorbed by him everyone must be too.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
Hearing him talk about his mother, about his intact family, makes my chest hurt for a second, like someone pierced it with a needle.
Veronica Roth
No selfishness or insecurity kept him from seeing the full extent of her goodness, as it so often does with the rest of us. That kind of love may only be possible in Abnegation. I do not know.

Color fills her cheeks, and I think it again: that Johanna Reyes might still be beautiful. Except now I think that she isn't just beautiful in spite of the scar, she's somehow beautiful with it, like Lynn with her buzzed hair, like Tobias with the memories of his father's cruelty that he wears like armor, like my mother in her plain gray clothing.
Veronica Roth
feel Tobias brushing my hair back before the first simulation. I hear him telling me to be brave. I hear my mother telling me to be brave(...) I am brave.
Veronica Roth
That’s one way of looking at it. I prefer to look at it another way—which is that if they are persistent enough, even tiny drops of water, over time, can change the rock forever. And it will never change back.
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
I forget that he is another person instead it feels like he is another part of me, just as essential as a heart or an eye or an arm.
Veronica Roth
Just as I have insisted on his worth, he has always insisted on my strength, insisted that my capacity is greater than I believe. And I know, without being told, that's what love does, when it's right-it makes you more than you were, more than you thought you could be. This is right.
Veronica Roth
I don't need to relive my fears anymore. All I need to do now is try to overcome them.
Veronica Roth
Thank you for your honesty.
Veronica Roth
I want people to come away from my book with questions. Questions about virtue and goodness. Not answers.
Veronica Roth
It's when you're acting selflessly that you are at your bravest. --Four in Divergent
Veronica Roth
Yeah, sometimes life really sucks. But you know what I'm holding on for? The moments that don't suck. The trick is to notice them when they come around.
Veronica Roth
Eric called Al's suicide brave, and he was wrong. My mother's death was brave. I remember how calm she was, how determined. It isn't just brave that she died for me it is brave that she did it without announcing it, without hesitation, and without appearing to consider another option.
Veronica Roth
There is a reason you don’t know all the things I know. -Marcus Eaton
