More quotes by Veronica Roth
I suppose that now would be the time to ask for forgiveness for all the things I've done, but I'm sure my list would never be complete. I also don't believe that whatever comes after life depends on my correctly reciting a list of my transgressions...I don't believe that what comes after depends on anything I do at all.

Veronica Roth
Not writing is as important as writing - go out into the world and remember how interesting it, and the people in it, are.
Veronica Roth
I think about pressing myself against him, but I can't, because all our secrets would keep a space between us.
Veronica Roth
We may both be bad, but there’s a huge difference between us—I’m not content with being this way.
Veronica Roth
How have I never realized before that for all the strong, kind parts of him, there are also hurting, broken parts?
Veronica Roth
No. Because it's so stupid no Dauntless with any sense would speak it, let alone think it. Pansycake. What are you, twelve? And a half, he says.
Veronica Roth
To live factionless Is not just to live in poverty and discomfort it is to live divorced from society, separated from the most important thing in life: community. My mother once told me that we can’t survive alone,but even if we could, we wouldn’t want to. Without a faction, we have no purpose and no reason to live.
