I know I belong in Dauntless because everything I did in that aptitude test told me so. I'm loyal to my faction for that reason -- because there's nowhere else I could possibly be. But her? And you? She shakes her head. I have no idea who you're loyal to. And I'm not going to pretend like everything's okay.
Veronica Roth
Do it fast, you pansycake.
Veronica Roth
I am better off doing as abnegation taught me: turning away from myself, projecting always outward, and hoping that in whatever is next, I will be better than I am now.
Veronica Roth
I laugh, and it's laughter, not light, that casts out the darkness building within me, that reminds me I am still alive, even in this strange place where everything I've ever known is coming apart.
Veronica Roth
People, even genetically damaged people, make choices. That’s what matters.’
Veronica Roth
Don't pretend, I say Breathily. You know I'm not. I'm not ugly, but I am certainly not pretty. Fine. You're not pretty. So? He kisses my cheek. I like how you look. You're deadly smart. You're brave.
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

Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
