Life damages us, every one. We can't escape that damage.
Veronica Roth
It reminds me why I chose Dauntless in the first place: not because they are perfect, but because they are alive. Because they are free.
Veronica Roth
I was born for Abegnation. I was planning on leaving Dauntless, and becoming factionless. But then I met 'her', and...I felt like maybe I could make something more of my decision.
Veronica Roth
He is not sweet or gentle or particularly kind. But he is smart and brave, and even though he saved me, he treated me like I was strong. That is all I need to know.
Veronica Roth
I realize that the decision might be simple. It will require a great act of selflessness to choose Abnegation, or a great act of courage to choose Dauntless, and maybe just choosing one over the other will prove that I belong.
Veronica Roth

What is it with you today?” says Christina on the way to breakfast. Her eyes are still swollen from sleep and her tangled hair forms a fuzzy halo around her face. “Oh, you know,” I say. “Sun shining. Birds chirping.” She raises an eyebrow at me, as if reminding me that we are in an underground tunnel.

Veronica Roth
Yes, she says, her eyes bright with tears. My dear child, you've done so well.
Veronica Roth
Blood is a strange color. It's darker than you expect it to be.
Veronica Roth
I love 'Harry Potter.' I'm a huge nerd - I would dress up if I could.
Veronica Roth
I reach out and take his hand. His fingers slide between mine. I can't breathe.
Veronica Roth
And I provide much- needed eye candy.
Veronica Roth
Sorry, am I being rude? she asks. I'm used to saying whatever is on my mind. Mom used to say that politeness is deception in pretty packaging
Veronica Roth
That said, in the two weeks before I leave for the Dark Days tour, I am going radio silent, which means I will be avoiding the Internet at all costs in order to revise, revise, revise. I will miss you. Tris says hi, though.
Veronica Roth
Maybe forgiveness is just the continual pushing aside of bitter memories, until time dulls the hurt and anger, and the wrong is forgotten.
Veronica Roth
She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love... That it should be done from necessity, not without exhausting all other options. That it should be done for people who need your strength because they don't have enough of their own.
Veronica Roth
I expect to weave through the crowd, dodging elbows and muttering excuse me the way I always do, but there is no need. Becoming Dauntless has made me noticable.
Veronica Roth
A Dauntless Ferris wheel wouldn’t have cars. You would just hang on tight with your hands, and good luck to you.
Veronica Roth
There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved for the sake of something greater.
