Eric called Al's suicide brave, and he was wrong. My mother's death was brave. I remember how calm she was, how determined. It isn't just brave that she died for me it is brave that she did it without announcing it, without hesitation, and without appearing to consider another option.

Arrogance is one of the flaws in the Erudite heart -- I know. It is often in mine.
Veronica Roth
Image
I am selfish. I am brave.
Veronica Roth
Image
But there's so much that was a lie, it's hard to figure out what was true, what was real, what matters.
Veronica Roth
Image
But now I know how large the world is... Well. I suppose I have grown to large out of my faction. As a consequence.

I imagine the wave of water colliding with the rock and spilling over the tile floor, collecting around my shoes. Doing a little at once can fix something, eventually, but I feel like when you believe that something is truly a problem, you throw everything you have at it, because you just can’t help yourself.
