More quotes by Veronica Roth
Really? I thought the transfers will go through Four’s landscape,” says Uriah. “Like he would let anyone do that,” she says, snorting. Something inside me gets warm and soft. He let me go through it.
Veronica Roth
For me, it feels like driving from truth into a lie, from adulthood to childhoold. I watch the land of pavement and glass and metal turn into an empty field. The snow is falling softly now, and I can faintly see the city's skyline up ahead, the buildings just a shade darker than the clouds.
Veronica Roth
The truth is... you are hurting me. Not on purpose, I know that. But I love you and every second that you don´t love me back...it hurts.
Veronica Roth
I didn't know that idiocy caused people to just start spontaneously bleeding from the nose.
Veronica Roth
You know, most boys would enjoy being trapped in close quarters with a girl. I roll my eyes. Not claustrophobic people, Tris.
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 should probably be afraid. But instead a hysterical laugh bubbles inside me, because I just remembered something: Maybe I can’t hold a gun. But I have a knife in my back pocket.
Veronica Roth
It will be difficult to break the habits of thinking Abnegation instilled in me, like tugging a single thread from a complex work of embroidery. But I will find new habits, new thoughts, new rules. I will become something else.
Veronica Roth
Eric walks toward me, and I back away by instinct. I try not to be afraid of him, but I know how smart he is and that if I’m not careful he’ll notice that I keep staring at her, and that will be my undoing.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes, the best way to help someone is just to be near them.

Tris.” I keep staring. “Tris.” I finally look at him. “I just don’t want to lose you.

Why would the factionless have a high Divergent population? It sounds like she's smirking. Obviously those who can't confine themselves to a particular way of thinking would be most likely to leave a faction or fail its initiation, right?
Veronica Roth
I wonder how I seem to them. They must see someone I don't see. Someone capable and strong. Someone I can't be someone I can be.
Veronica Roth
I have a message for the Divergent I am Divergent. This is not a negotiation No, it is not. It is a warning I understand. Every two days until one of you delivers yourself to Erudite headquarters . . . I will. . . . this will happen again It will never happen again.
Veronica Roth
Okay. Then...I can talk. Ask me something. Okay. He laughs shakily in my ear. Why is your heart racing Tris? I cringe and say, Well, I...I barely know you. I barely know you and I'm crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?... Maybe you were cut out for Candor, he says, because you're a terrible liar.
Veronica Roth
Caleb and Tris exchange a look. The skin on his face and on her knuckles is nearly the same colour, purple-blue-green, as if drawn with ink. This is what happens when siblings collide - they injure each other in the same way.
Veronica Roth
But I will find new habits, new thoughts, new rules. I will become something else.
Veronica Roth
And he’s right to say that every faction loses something when it gains a virtue: the Dauntless, brave but cruel the Erudite, intelligent but vain the Amity, peaceful but passive the Candor, honest but inconsiderate the Abnegation, selfless but stifling.
Veronica Roth
The official strategy is defensive pessimism, always.
Veronica Roth
You're the one who has to live with your choice, everyone else will get over it, move on, no matter what you decide. But you never will
