Veronica Roth
It must require bravery to be honest all the time.
Veronica Roth
You don’t believe things because they make your life better, you believe them because they’re true.
Veronica Roth
Everything - our houses, our clothes, our hairstyles - is meant to help us forget ourselves and to protect us from vanity, greed and envy, which are just forms of selfishness. If we have little, and want for little, and we are all equal, we envy no one.
Veronica Roth
I don't want to stop you. I want you to stop yourself.
Veronica Roth
