Veronica Roth
I laugh shakily. ‘You’re a little scary, Four.’ ‘Do me a favor,’ he says, ‘and don’t call me that.’ ‘What should I call you, then?’ ‘Nothing.’ He takes his hand from my face. ‘Yet.
Veronica Roth
No. Because it's so stupid no Dauntless with any sense would speak it, let alone think it. Pansycake. What are you, twelve? And a half, he says.
Veronica Roth
I never thought I would need bravery in the small moments of my life. I do.
Veronica Roth
What do I believe? I do not know I do not know I do not know.
Veronica Roth
We can’t survive alone, but even if we could, we wouldn't want to.
Veronica Roth
I don't have a bullet in my head, do I? So I'm fine.
Veronica Roth
You need to be passionate about the creative work that you're doing, but you need to be kind of emotionally separated from how people react to it or how it does. Those things should be secondary, and primary should be your love of the creative act.
Veronica Roth
Be brave, Beatrice. I love you.
Veronica Roth
He kisses me again, more insistent this time, his hands squeezing my waist. His breaths, his body, my body, we are so close there is no difference.
Veronica Roth
Let the guilt teach you how to behave next time.
Veronica Roth
