Veronica Roth
The Candor sing the praises of the truth, but they never tell you how much it costs.
Veronica Roth
Nature is neutral. Nature doesn't care how much money a person makes.

By the time we leave, I have red lips and curled eyelashes, and I’m wearing a bright red dress. And there’s a knife strapped to the inside of my knee. This all makes perfect sense.

If I let a little of the emotion out, all of it will come out, and it will never end.
Veronica Roth
He holds my face in both hands and kisses me back. I press into the distance between us until it is gone, crushing the secrets we have kept and the suspicions we have harbored-for good, I hope.

Veronica Roth
What thought or message would you put in a fortune cookie? Stop reading this. Eat the cookie and live your life.
Veronica Roth
I will be my undoing, If I become my obsession. I will forget the ones I love, If I do not serve them. I will war with others, If I refuse to see them. Therefore, I choose to turn away From my reflection, To rely not on myself But on my brothers and sisters, To project always outward Until I disappear [And only God remains.]
Veronica Roth
But now I know how large the world is... Well. I suppose I have grown to large out of my faction. As a consequence.
Veronica Roth
Eyes open, then, I say, tapping the skin between my eyebrows. I don’t really need her eyes to be on mine, but I feel better when they are.
Veronica Roth
I want people to come away from my book with questions. Questions about virtue and goodness. Not answers.
Veronica Roth
It's not that I ever sat down and outlined a trilogy, but I always have a sense of what size an idea is when I start it.
Veronica Roth
