More quotes by Veronica Roth
I traded cowardice for cruelty I traded weakness for ferocity.
Veronica Roth
I look older. Maybe it's the short hair or maybe it's just that I wear all that has happened like a mask. Either way, I always thought I would be happy when I stopped looking like a child.

Veronica Roth
Life damages us, every one. We can't escape that damage.
Veronica Roth
Blood is a strange color. It's darker than you expect it to be.
Veronica Roth
It is more important for you to be safe than right, for the time being. Understand? (...) But please, when you see an opportunity...ruin them
Veronica Roth
I breathe in. The water will wash my wounds clean. I breathe out. My mother submerged me in water when I was a baby, to give me to God. It has been a long time since I thought about God, but I think about him now. It is only natural. I am glad, suddenly, that I shot Eric in the foot instead of the head.
Veronica Roth
I can't tell him I need him. I can't need him, period -- or really, we can't need each other, because who knows how long either of us will last in this war?
Veronica Roth
I want to cry because something terrible happened, and I saw it, and I could not see a way to mend it.
Veronica Roth
Who cares about pretty? I'm going for noticeable.
Veronica Roth
I close my eyes. I don't expect Four to reassure me, and he makes no effort to, but I feel better standing here than I did out there among the people who are my friends, my faction.
