Just do what you're supposed to.
Veronica Roth
What do-- Tobias's voice. Tobias! Oh my God. Oh-- Spare me your blubbering, okay? Peter says. She's not dead she's just paralyzed. It'll only last for about a minute. Now get ready to run. I don't understand. How does Peter know? Let me carry her, Tobias says. No. You're a better shot than I am. Take my gun. I'll carry her.

I fell in love with him. But I don't just stay with him by default as if there's no one else available to me. I stay with him because I choose to, every day that I wake up, every day that we fight or lie to each other or disappoint each other. I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me.

Veronica Roth
The floor is solid metal in some places and metal grating in others. Everything smells like rotting garbage and fire. Don't say I never took you anywhere nice, Peter says. Wouldn't dream of it, I say.
Veronica Roth
I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me.
Veronica Roth
You were afraid of shooting people? No, I say. I was afraid of my considerable capacity to kill. How many young men fear that there is a monster inside of them?
Veronica Roth
It's when you're acting selflessly that you are at your bravest. --Four in Divergent
Veronica Roth
So now we all know, says Four, quietly, that you are afraid of a short, skinny girl from Abnegation. His mouth curls into a smile.
Veronica Roth
Don’t tell me you’re going to eat a mashed-potato sandwich
Veronica Roth
Nothing else is alright. But we are. -Tobias
Veronica Roth
It's like he knows, he knows I have a thing for her.
