More quotes by Veronica Roth

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
If you see someone in trouble, you should help them. Experiment or not.
Veronica Roth
Four flips the gun in this hand, presses the barrel to Peter's forehead, and clicks a bullet into place. Peter freezes with his lips parted, the yawn dead in his mouth. Wake. Up, Four snaps. You are holding a loaded gun, you idiot. Act like it.

i happen to enjoy categorization.
Veronica Roth
I brought you the truth about our city and the reason we are in it. If you aren't thanking me for it, you should at least do something about it instead of sitting here on this mess you made, pretending it's a throne!
Veronica Roth
It was him or me. I chose me. But I feel dead too.
Veronica Roth
The official strategy is defensive pessimism, always.
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
I don't really control the story. I just let it go where it wants to go. I have no idea what's going to happen in the end or who's going to live, so it's kind of like me saying, I don't know, guys! Just wait. That's what I'm doing!
Veronica Roth
I wish we were alone,” he says. “I almost always wish that,” I say.
