More quotes by Veronica Roth
Fear, she says, is more powerful than pain.
Veronica Roth
I get up, because I’m supposed to, but if it were up to me, I’d stay in my seat for the rest of time.
Veronica Roth
I also don't believe that whatever come after life depends on my correctly reciting a list of my transgressions-that sounds too much like an Erudite afterlife to me, all accuracy and no feeling.
Veronica Roth
Who cares about pretty? I'm going for noticeable.
Veronica Roth
She must love me, to worry about me. She must still be capable of love.
Veronica Roth
I wake wondering how I did not notice, every day I sat across from her at the breakfast table, that she was full to bursting with Dauntless energy. Was it because she hid it well? Or was it because I wasn't looking?
Veronica Roth
It must require bravery to be honest all the time.
Veronica Roth
Did you just call me BEATRICE?
Veronica Roth
I ignore my fear. When I make decisions, I pretend it doesn't exist.
Veronica Roth
Let me get this straight. So you left the Dauntless compound to get ready for war... and took your makeup bag with you? Yep. Figured it would be harder for anyone to shoot me if they saw how devastatingly attractive I was.

Being selfless is not that different from being brave. It is when you are selfless that you are the bravest.
Veronica Roth
Four flips the gun in this hand, presses the barrel to Peter's forehead, and clicks a bullet into place. Peter freezes with his lips parted, the yawn dead in his mouth. Wake. Up, Four snaps. You are holding a loaded gun, you idiot. Act like it.
Veronica Roth
Writing means not just staring ugliness in the face, but finding a way to embrace it.
Veronica Roth
There's really no way to be perfect. Perfectionism is a silly trait to have, so in a lot of ways that inspired the world of 'Divergent,' in which everyone is striving toward that ideal and falling short of it.
Veronica Roth
He is strong, and lithe, and certain. And he is mine.
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
You're more than Dauntless, he says in a low voice. But if you want to be just like them, hurling yourself into ridiculous situations for no reason and retaliating against your enemies without any regard for what's ethical, go right ahead. I thought you were better than that, but maybe I was wrong.
Veronica Roth
You don’t believe things because they make your life better, you believe them because they’re true.
Veronica Roth
It would be nice if life worked this way, stripping the dirt from our lives and sending us back out into the world clean. But some dirt is destined to lingered.
Veronica Roth
I never used to understand why people bothered to hold hands as they walked, but then he runs one of his fingertips down my palm, and I shiver and understand it completely
