More quotes by Veronica Roth
There is always somthing to learn, always somthing that is important to understand
Veronica Roth
May the peace of God be with you, she says, her voice low, even in the midst of trouble. Why would it? I say softly, so no one else can hear. After all I've done... It isn't about you, she says. It is a gift. You cannot earn it, or it ceases to be a gift.
Veronica Roth
I'm a fairly religious person, so I believe in some things that sound a little crazy I'm sure, depending on where you're standing. I believe in leaving room for things that you can't explain in the universe, and you don't have to be religious to leave room for those things.
Veronica Roth
All three combined is...a different kind of stupid formerly unheard of by humankind.
Veronica Roth
If we stay together, I'll have to forgive you over and over again, and if you're still in this, you'll have to forgive me over and over again too. So forgiveness isn't the point. What I really should have been trying to figure out is whether we were still good for each other or not
Veronica Roth
I wonder how I seem to them. They must see someone I don't see. Someone capable and strong. Someone I can't be someone I can be.
Veronica Roth
I slowly realized that perfectionism just not that important. What's more important is to try to love the people around you. Whatever that means at a particular time is the best you can do.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes pain is for the greater good.
Veronica Roth
I was so afraid that we would just keep colliding over and over again if we stayed together, and that eventually the impact would break me. But now I know I am like the blade and he is like the whetstone- I am too strong to break so easily, and I become better, sharper, every time I touch him.
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.
Veronica Roth
I wish we were alone,” he says. “I almost always wish that,” I say.
Veronica Roth
He moves his thumb in a slow circle over the back of my hand. It is meant to comfort me, but it frustrates me instead. I need to talk to him. I need to look at him.
Veronica Roth
You don't have to tell me everything right away, but I have to tell you everything right away? Can't you see how stupid that is?
Veronica Roth
I try to leave some space in my mind for things to surprise me or change my mind, I think that's important.
Veronica Roth
An artist gives. Gives visually, gives through courses, or with free advice, through generosity of spirit and through a need to share.
Veronica Roth
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.
Veronica Roth
That night we push our cots just a little closer together, and look into each other's eyes in the moments before we fall asleep. When he finally drifts off, our fingers are twisted together in the space between the beds. I smile a little, and let myself go.
Veronica Roth
His fingers slide into my hair, and I hold on to his arms to stay steady as we press together like two blades at a stalemate. He is stronger than anyone I know, and warmer than anyone else realizes he is a secret that I have kept, and will keep for the rest of my life.
Veronica Roth
He told me once to be brave, and though I have stood still while knives spun toward my face and jumped off a roof, I never thought I would need bravery in the small moments of my life. I do.
Veronica Roth
But when I do feel all the strength go out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then, or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.
