More quotes by Veronica Roth
I note how calm she looks and how focused she is. She is well-practiced in the art of losing herself. I can't say the same of myself.
Veronica Roth
He should be the one to die, part of me thinks. I don't want to lose him, another part argues. I don't know which part to believe.
Veronica Roth
You were afraid of shooting people? No, I say. I was afraid of my considerable capacity to kill. How many young men fear that there is a monster inside of them?
Veronica Roth
I don't need to relive my fears anymore. All I need to do now is try to overcome them.
Veronica Roth
We believe in bravery. We believe in taking action. We believe in freedom from fear and in acquiring the skills to force the bad out of our world so that the good can prosper and thrive. If you also believe in those things, we welcome you.
Veronica Roth
The division is based on knowledge, based on qualifications - but as I learned from the factionless, a system that relies on a group of uneducated people to do its dirty work without giving them a way to rise is hardly fair.
Veronica Roth
Caleb and Tris exchange a look. The skin on his face and on her knuckles is nearly the same colour, purple-blue-green, as if drawn with ink. This is what happens when siblings collide - they injure each other in the same way.
Veronica Roth
And I'm the kind of person who does not let inconsequential things like boys and near death experiences stop her.
Veronica Roth
And I provide much- needed eye candy.

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
I want to be brave, and selfless, and smart, and kind, and honest.
Veronica Roth
Is there any other way to Erudite headquarters? I say. Not that I now of, says Cara. Unless you want to jump from one roof to another. She laughs a little as she says it, like it's a joke. I raise my eyebrows at her. Wait, she says. You aren't considering---?
Veronica Roth
I didn't realize until that moment that Dauntless initiation had taught me an important lesson: how to keep going.
Veronica Roth
I don't see any elderly people in the crowd. Are there any old Dauntless? Do they not last that long, or are they just sent away when they can't jump off moving trains anymore?
Veronica Roth
I kiss him as the train slides into unlit, uncertain land. I kiss him for as long as I want, for longer than I should, given that my brother sits three feet away from me.
Veronica Roth
I breathe in. The water will wash my wounds clean. I breathe out. My mother submerged me in water when I was a baby, to give me to God. It has been a long time since I thought about God, but I think about him now. It is only natural. I am glad, suddenly, that I shot Eric in the foot instead of the head.
Veronica Roth
The goal of my life isn't just... to be happy. 'Wouldn't it be easier if it was, though?
Veronica Roth
Humans can't tolerate emptiness for long.
Veronica Roth
And sometimes, if you want the truth, you have to demand it.
