More quotes by Veronica Roth
When you're a writer, you hear your internal critic, and that's really hard to get over. And then sometimes you hear critiques from classmates and stuff. But when a book comes out, it's just hundreds of opinions and you have to learn to separate out the ones you want to listen to or figure out many you want to listen to.
Veronica Roth

Can I ask why you’re throwing knives at cheese?’ ‘Caleb came by to discuss something,’ Tobias says, leaning his head against the wall as he looks at me. ‘And knife-throwing just came up somehow.’ ‘As it so often does,’ I say, a small smile inching across my face.

There is power in controlling something that can do so much damage - in controlling something, period.
Veronica Roth
I feel myself acting like a lunatic, but I can't stop. It would be like refusing to breathe.
Veronica Roth
What's this about flashing underwear? says Uriah, sidestepping a bunk. Whatever it is, I'm in.
Veronica Roth
In the days that follow, it's movement, not stillness, that helps to keep the grief at bay.
Veronica Roth
Before we sit down, he puts his mouth next to my ear and says, “I like your hair that way.
Veronica Roth
Color fills her cheeks, and I think it again: that Johanna Reyes might still be beautiful. Except now I think that she isn't just beautiful in spite of the scar, she's somehow beautiful with it, like Lynn with her buzzed hair, like Tobias with the memories of his father's cruelty that he wears like armor, like my mother in her plain gray clothing.
Veronica Roth
I wonder if fears ever really go away, or if they just lose their power over us.
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
This concept could easily have gone awry. Stories about love tend to go that way sometimes. They wander into the realm of cheese and never return, which I think is a shame, because there is a way to write about romantic love without breaking out the Velveeta.
