Any idiot can stand in front of a target, I say. It doesn't prove anything except that you're bullying us. Which, as I recall is a sign of cowardice Then it should be easy for you, Eric sys. If you're willing ot take his place.

More quotes by Veronica Roth
This is how we came by our factions: Candor, Erudite, Amity, Abnegation and Dauntless. Max smiles. In them we find administrators and teachers and counselors and leaders and protectors. In them we find our sense of belonging, our sense of community, our very lives.
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
His fingers leave streaks of cold on my skin, invisible to the eye, and I think about wrapping his shirt around my fist and pulling him in to kiss me I think about pressing myself against him, but I can't, because all our secrets would keep a space between us.
Veronica Roth
Looking away is submissive. Looking [..] in the eye is a challenge.
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
Do remember, though, that sometimes the people you oppress become mightier than you would like.
Veronica Roth
To me, when someone wrongs you, you both share the burden of that wrongdoing—the pain of it weighs on both of you. Forgiveness, then, means choosing to bear the full weight all by yourself.
Veronica Roth
Tris, said tobias. I love you
Veronica Roth
Fear doesn't shut you down it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating. He releases me but doesn't pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. Sometimes I just...want to see it again. Want to see you awake.
Veronica Roth
He moves his thumb in a slow circle over the back of my hand. It is meant to comfort me, but it frustrates me instead. I need to talk to him. I need to look at him.
Veronica Roth
I have never been carried around by a large boy, or laughed until my stomach hurt at the dinner table, or listened to the clamor of a hundred people all talking at once. Peace is restrained this is free.
Veronica Roth
I am a child. I am two feet tall, and asking if she loves me.
Veronica Roth
Some people believe that I will go nowhere, and maybe they're right, but maybe they're not.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes, all it takes to save people from a terrible fate is one person willing to do something about it. Even if that something is a fake bathroom break.
Veronica Roth
Inquisitiveness is self-serving, Johanna. -Marcus Eaton
Veronica Roth
She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love, not misplace disgust for another person's genetics.
Veronica Roth
I used to think that when people fell in love, they just landed where they landed, and they had no choice in the matter afterward. And maybe that's true of beginnings, but it's not true of this, now.
Veronica Roth
It's strange how a word, a phrase, a sentence, can feel like a blow to the head.
Veronica Roth
Don't you dare try to apologize. His voice shakes. This is not something you can bandage with a word or two and some hugging, or something.
Veronica Roth
He leans his face close to mine and wraps his fingers around my chin. His hand smells like metal. When was the last time he held a gun, or a knife?
