She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love, not misplace disgust for another person's genetics.
Veronica Roth
This is bizarre, I say. I think it's beautiful, he says. I give him a look. What? He laughs a little. They each have an equal role in government they each feel equally responsible. And it makes them care it makes them kind. I think that's beautiful.
Veronica Roth
I was born for Abegnation. I was planning on leaving Dauntless, and becoming factionless. But then I met 'her', and...I felt like maybe I could make something more of my decision.
Veronica Roth
People, even genetically damaged people, make choices. That’s what matters.’
Veronica Roth
I look out the window again, taking slow, deep breaths into a body too tense to move.

Veronica Roth
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
I forgot my watch. Minutes or hours later, when the panic subsides, that is what I most regret. Not coming here in the first place - that seemed like an obvious choice - but my bare wrist, which makes it impossible for me to know how long I have been sitting in this room.

Some people believe that I will go nowhere, and maybe they're right, but maybe they're not.
Veronica Roth
The reason the factions were evil is because there was no way out of them. They gave us the illusion of choice without actually giving us a choice.
Veronica Roth
I realize that the decision might be simple. It will require a great act of selflessness to choose Abnegation, or a great act of courage to choose Dauntless, and maybe just choosing one over the other will prove that I belong.
Veronica Roth
That is death - shifting from is to was.
Veronica Roth
There is a reason you don’t know all the things I know. -Marcus Eaton
Veronica Roth
My parents did love each other. Enough to forsake plans and factions. Enough to defy “faction before blood.” Blood before faction--no, love before faction, always. - Tris Prior
Veronica Roth
Tris, he says. What did they do to you? You're acting like a lunatic. That's not very nice of you to say, I say. They put me in a good mood, that's all. And now I really want to kiss you, so if you could just relax-
Veronica Roth
I don’t know what world you live in, but in mine, people only do things for you for one of two reasons. The first is if they want something in return. And the second is if they feel like they owe you something.
Veronica Roth
There are men with guns up there. When they see me, they will kill me, if they can, I tell my father quietly. I search his eyes. Should I let them? He stares at me for a few seconds. Go, he says, and God help you.
Veronica Roth
