More quotes by Veronica Roth
She is well practiced in the art of losing herself.
Veronica Roth
I guess I always knew there was something wrong with me, but I thought it was because of my father, or my mother, and the pain they bequeathed to me like a family heirloom, handed down from generation to generation. - Tobias Eaton
Veronica Roth
I love Tris the Divergent, who makes decisions apart from faction loyalty, who isn’t some faction archetype. But the Tris who’s trying as hard as she can to destroy herself … I can’t love her.
Veronica Roth
I ignore my fear. When I make decisions, I pretend it doesn't exist.
Veronica Roth
So you're her brother? Says Linn. I guess we know who got the good genes.
Veronica Roth
The truth is... you are hurting me. Not on purpose, I know that. But I love you and every second that you don´t love me back...it hurts.
Veronica Roth
Okay, okay.” I set my hand on top of his and guide it to my chest, so it’s right over my heart. “Feel my heartbeat. Can you feel it?” “Yes.” “Feel how steady it is?” “It’s fast.” “Yes, well, that has nothing to do with the box.” I wince as soon as I’m done speaking. I just admitted to something. Hopefully he doesn’t realize that.
Veronica Roth
Aren’t you going to ask me if I’m all right?” I say. “No, I’m pretty sure you’re not all right.” He shakes his head. “I’m going to ask you not to make any decisions until we’ve talked about it.
Veronica Roth
I’d rather eat out of a can than be strangled by a faction.
Veronica Roth
Suicide to them is an act of selfishness. Someone who is truly selfless does not think of himself often enough to desire death.
Veronica Roth
You're not a coward just because you don't want to hurt people.
Veronica Roth
I'm sick of doing bad things and liking it and then wondering what's wrong with me. I want it to be over. I want to start again.
Veronica Roth
You promised you wouldn't tell her, she says, pointing at me. What happened to protecting her? I changed my mind, I say. Tris laughs, harshly,That's what you told him, that he would be protecting me? That's a pretty skillful manipulation. Well done.
Veronica Roth
Ignore them. They don't know what it is to make a difficult decision. You wouldn't have done it, I bet. That is only because I have been taught to be cautious when I don't know all the information, and you have been taught that risks can produce great rewards.
Veronica Roth
I never thought I would need bravery in the small moments of my life. I do.
Veronica Roth
If they told us what to believe, and we didn't come to it on our own, is it still true?
Veronica Roth
He pulls me over the railing and against his chest, gathering me into his arms, easing an arm under my knees. I press my face into his shoulder, and there is a sudden, hollow silence.
Veronica Roth
No selfishness or insecurity kept him from seeing the full extent of her goodness, as it so often does with the rest of us. That kind of love may only be possible in Abnegation. I do not know.
Veronica Roth
Let the guilt teach you how to behave next time.
Veronica Roth
But that wasn´t the first time I ever saw her. I saw her in the hallways at school, and at my mother’s false funeral, and walking the sidewalks in the Abnegation sector. I saw her, but I didn’t see her no one saw her the way she truly was until she jumped. I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last.
