More quotes by Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
Oh. I just assumed... That because I am so absorbed by him everyone must be too.
Veronica Roth
He is strong, and lithe, and certain. And he is mine.
Veronica Roth
We are not the same. But we are, somehow, one.
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
Honesty leads to peace.
Veronica Roth
Some people believe that I will go nowhere, and maybe they're right, but maybe they're not.
Veronica Roth
We believe that preparation eradicates cowardice, which we define as the failure to act in the midst of fear.
Veronica Roth
I am wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans, black shoes--new clothes, but beneath them, my Dauntless tattoos. It is impossible to erase my choices. Especially these.
Veronica Roth
Suicide to them is an act of selfishness. Someone who is truly selfless does not think of himself often enough to desire death.
Veronica Roth
Half of bravery is perspective.
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.
