He pus his lips next to my ear and says, “You look good, Tris.
Veronica Roth
It's stupid to miss a thing when there are so many people to miss instead, but I miss this train already, and all the others that carried me through the city, my city, after I was brave enough to ride them. I brush my fingers over the car wall, just once, and then jump.

Veronica Roth

Now the monstrous thing has its claws around my throat, squeezing my airway. I twist and put my head between my knees, breathing until the strangled feeling leaves me.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes I just... want to see it again. Want to see you awake.
Veronica Roth
You nearly died today,' he says. 'I almost shot you. Why didn't you shoot me, Tris?' 'I couldn't do that,' I say. 'It would have been like shooting myself.' He looks pained and leans closer to me, so his lips brush mine when he speaks.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now.
Veronica Roth
I always appreciate people's opinions, but sometimes I have to take a step back and remember why I'm writing and what I want to do with it. Shutting out the voices is difficult but it's been good for me.
Veronica Roth
It's easy to be brave when they're not my fears.
Veronica Roth
She believes that Tobias belongs to her now. She doesn't know the truth, that he belongs to himself.
