More quotes by Veronica Roth
I will be my undoing, If I become my obsession. I will forget the ones I love, If I do not serve them. I will war with others, If I refuse to see them. Therefore, I choose to turn away From my reflection, To rely not on myself But on my brothers and sisters, To project always outward Until I disappear [And only God remains.]

So how can I hold Tobias’s desperation against him, like I’m better than him, like I’ve never let my own brokenness blind me?
Veronica Roth
I think about pressing myself against him, but I can't, because all our secrets would keep a space between us.
Veronica Roth
Can I be forgiven for all I've done to get here? I want to be. I can. I believe it.

I don't really control the story. I just let it go where it wants to go. I have no idea what's going to happen in the end or who's going to live, so it's kind of like me saying, I don't know, guys! Just wait. That's what I'm doing!
Veronica Roth
Maybe it's a little depressing to think that my vision of a perfect world is actually so messed up, but I think it means that I don't really understand what 'perfect' is.
Veronica Roth
I can't force you. I can't make you want to survive this. He pulls me against him and runs his hand over my hair, tucking it behind my ear. His fingers trail down my neck and over my shoulder, and he says, But you will do it. It doesn't matter if you believe you can or not. You will, because that's who you are.
Veronica Roth
In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life, so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn't be dating them.
Veronica Roth
I didn't realize until that moment that Dauntless initiation had taught me an important lesson: how to keep going.
Veronica Roth
You were afraid of shooting people? No, I say. I was afraid of my considerable capacity to kill. How many young men fear that there is a monster inside of them?
Veronica Roth
You know, most boys would enjoy being trapped in close quarters with a girl. I roll my eyes. Not claustrophobic people, Tris.
Veronica Roth
The battle we are fighting is not against a particular group. It is against human nature - or at least what it has become.
Veronica Roth
Even though I am still injured, I had to fight again today.Luckily this time,I was paired against Myra,who couldn't throw a good punch if someone was controlling her arm for her.
Veronica Roth
They try to make you think they care about what you do but they don't. They don't want you to act a certain way. So you're easy to understand. So you won't pose a threat to them.
