I don't have a bullet in my head, do I? So I'm fine.

But that wasn´t the first time I ever saw her. I saw her in the hallways at school, and at my mother’s false funeral, and walking the sidewalks in the Abnegation sector. I saw her, but I didn’t see her no one saw her the way she truly was until she jumped. I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last.

It is a gift. You cannot earn it, or it ceases to be a gift.

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
Image
I feel myself acting like a lunatic, but I can't stop. It would be like refusing to breathe.
Veronica Roth
Image
He seems designed specifically for speed and deadly accuracy. But not strength, not particularly-he is smart, but not strong. Only strong enough to carry me.

I am a naturally curious person. -Tris

Image
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.

He smiles in my memory. A curled lip. Straight teeth. Light in his eyes. Laughing, teasing, more alive in memory than I m in reality. It was him or me. I chose me. But I feel dead too.
Veronica Roth
Image
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
Image
I settle into their pace. The uniform pounding of feet in my ears and the homogeneity of the people around me makes me believe that I could choose this. I could be subsumed into Abnegation’s hive mind, projecting always outward.
Veronica Roth
Image
She wanted us to have more than five choices. Now we have none.

It doesn't prove anything except that you're bullying us. Which, as I recall, is a sign of cowardice.
