Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
If I don't survive, I say, tell Tobias I didn't want to leave him.
Veronica Roth
The goal of my life isn't just... to be happy. 'Wouldn't it be easier if it was, though?
Veronica Roth

No one's perfect, I whisper. It doesn't work that way. One bad thing goes away, and another bad thing replaces it. I traded cowardice for cruelty I traded weakness for ferocity.
Veronica Roth
I am afraid of her, afraid of what she says-and thrilled by it too, because it means I don't have to accept that I am smaller than I once believed.
Veronica Roth
It will be difficult to break the habits of thinking Abnegation instilled in me, like tugging a single thread from a complex work of embroidery. But I will find new habits, new thoughts, new rules. I will become something else.
Veronica Roth
They all laugh. We all laugh. And it occurs to me that I might be meeting Tobias's true faction. They are not characterized by a particular virtue. They claim all colors, all activities, all virtues, and all flaws as their own.
Veronica Roth
I wipe my face with my sleeve, laughing so hard my stomach hurts. If my entire life is like this, loud laughter and bold action and the kind of exhaustion you feel after a hard but satisfying day, I will be content.
Veronica Roth
Everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.
Veronica Roth
And is it selfish of me to crave victory, or is it brave?
Veronica Roth
Are you conceding?' he says, his mouth falling open with mock surprise. 'Seems like that serum did you some good after all...' I shove him as hard as I can. 'Take that back. Take it back now.' 'Okay, okay!' He puts up his hands. 'It's just... I'm not very nice either, you know. That's why I like you so- ' 'Out!' I shout, pointing at the door.
Veronica Roth
Just because they didn’t shoot you all in the head doesn’t mean their intentions were somehow honorable. Why do you think they came here? Just to run through your hallways, knock you conscious, and leave?
Veronica Roth
We are not the same. But we are, somehow, one.
Veronica Roth
We share a common enemy, but does that make us friends?
