More quotes by Veronica Roth
Did you just call me BEATRICE?
Veronica Roth
I will be my undoing If I become my obsession.
Veronica Roth
I am proud. It will get me into trouble someday, but today it makes me brave
Veronica Roth
I hold the gun out from my body, my arms straight, just as Four taught me, when that was his only name. I used a gun like this to defend my father and brother from simulation-bound Dauntless. I used it to stop Eric from shooting Tobias in the head. It is not inherently evil. It is just a tool.
Veronica Roth
My heart beats so hard it hurts, and I can't scream and I can't breathe, but I also feel everything, every vein and every fiber, every bone and every nerve, all awake and buzzing in my body as if charged with electricity. I am pure adrenaline.
Veronica Roth

I feel the monster of grief again, writhing in the empty space where my heart and stomach used to be. I gasp, pressing both palms to my chest. Now the monstrous thing has its claws around my throat, squeezing my airway. I twist and put my head between my knees, breathing until the strangled feeling leaves me.
Veronica Roth
Killing you is not the worst thing they can do to you, I say. Controlling you is.
Veronica Roth
I feel his heartbeat against my cheek,as fast as my own. Are you afraid of me, too, Tobias? Terrified, he replies with a smile.
Veronica Roth
She can't possibly be me, though she moves when I move
Veronica Roth
I forget that he is another person instead it feels like he is another part of me, just as essential as a heart or an eye or an arm.
Veronica Roth
I suppose that now would be the time to ask for forgiveness for all the things I've done, but I'm sure my list would never be complete. I also don't believe that whatever comes after life depends on my correctly reciting a list of my transgressions...I don't believe that what comes after depends on anything I do at all.
Veronica Roth
You're too important to just... die.
Veronica Roth
Human beings as a whole cannot be good for long before the bad creeps back in and poisons us again.
Veronica Roth
I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave. I suppose that now, I must become more than either.
Veronica Roth
Stiff. That’s why you’re strong, get it? - Tobias Eaton
Veronica Roth
All three combined is...a different kind of stupid formerly unheard of by humankind.
Veronica Roth
Soon I will honor my parents by dying as they died. and if all they believed about death was true, soon I will join them in whatever comes next.
Veronica Roth
