Veronica Roth
Maybe there's more we all could have done, but we just have to let the guilt remind us to do better next time.

I pulled her across it and her hand was small, but warm, and then she stood before me, short and thin and plain and in all ways unremarkable- except that she had jumped first.

Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
Four! I call out. Why am I calling a number? Oh yes. Because that's his name. — Tris.
Veronica Roth
she’s not pretty, that word is too small. She is not like the girls I used to stare at, all bend and curve and softness. She is small but strong, and her bright eyes demand attention. Looking at her is like waking up.
Veronica Roth
But Christina and I are not people who cry together we're people who fight together. SO I hold my tears in.
Veronica Roth
Psyche you out? I repeat. I'm your FRIEND. I wouldn't do that. He doesn't say anything. I can tell he doesn't believe me-not quite.
Veronica Roth
We both have war inside us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroy us.
Veronica Roth
Do it fast, you pansycake.
Veronica Roth
You won, Four mutters. Stop. I wipe the sweat from my forehead. He stares at me. His eyes are too wide they look alarmed.
Veronica Roth
I love you. He frowns. Say it again. Tobias, I say. I love you.
