More quotes by Veronica Roth
We share a common enemy, but does that make us friends?
Veronica Roth
He's one of the last friends I have, she says, her voice breaking. I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at you the same way again.
Veronica Roth
When I look at the Abnegation lifestyle as an outsider, I think it’s beautiful. When I watch my family move in harmony when we go to dinner parties and everyone cleans together afterward without having to be asked when I see Caleb help strangers carry their groceries, I fall in love with this life all over again.
Veronica Roth
But Christina and I are not people who cry together we're people who fight together. SO I hold my tears in.
Veronica Roth
When i get home, I sit on the front step and take deep breaths of the cool spring air for a few minutes. My mother was the one who taught me to steal moments like those, moments of freedom, though she didn't now it. I watched her... But I learned something else from watching her too, which is that the free moments always have to end.
Veronica Roth
I'm going to stop a revolution,'' I say. I turn right, and Peter follows me.
Veronica Roth
though he does not touch me, he steadies me.
Veronica Roth
That's the first time I've ever said those words out loud, and now I hear how strange they are. How many young men fear that there is a monster instead them? People are supposed to fear others, not themselves.
Veronica Roth
Your daughter is doing well here. I've been overseeing her training. Since when does overseeing include throwing knives at me and scolding me at every opportunity?
Veronica Roth
Nothing else is alright. But we are. -Tobias
Veronica Roth
Who cares about everyone? What about me?
Veronica Roth
I do know who you are. I just needed to be reminded.
Veronica Roth
Fear doesn't shut you down it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating. He releases me but doesn't pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. Sometimes I just...want to see it again. Want to see you awake.
Veronica Roth
You don’t believe things because they make your life better, you believe them because they’re true.
Veronica Roth
Life's something we already understand. Death is a mystery.
Veronica Roth
We can't be confined to one way of thinking, and that terrifies our leaders. It means we can't be controlled. And it means that no matter what they do, we will always cause trouble for them.
Veronica Roth
I think romance is friendship and attraction sort of meeting together and that does influence what I'm writing a lot. I try to establish the attraction, obviously, but I also think it's important to show the characters having actual conversations about things other than their feelings for each other - and to develop their friendship on the page.
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
Beatrice, she says. Beatrice, we have to run. She pulls my arm across her shoulders and hauls me to my feet. She is dressed like my mother and she looks like my mother, but she is holding a gun, and the determined look in her eyes is unfamiliar to me.
Veronica Roth
I should wonder what courage—which is the virtue they most value—has to do with a metal ring through your nostril.
