It reminds me that no embrace will ever feel the same again, because no one will ever be like her again, because she's gone. She's gone, and crying feels so useless, so stupid, but it's all I can do.

I don't want to try to live up to someone who's created something so incredible. I'm just trying to focus on what I'm doing and what I do best. It's sometimes hard to focus in and only think about my books rather than how they measure up to someone else's.

When i get home, I sit on the front step and take deep breaths of the cool spring air for a few minutes. My mother was the one who taught me to steal moments like those, moments of freedom, though she didn't now it. I watched her... But I learned something else from watching her too, which is that the free moments always have to end.

Veronica Roth
Ignore them. They don't know what it is to make a difficult decision. You wouldn't have done it, I bet. That is only because I have been taught to be cautious when I don't know all the information, and you have been taught that risks can produce great rewards.
Veronica Roth
His absence will haunt their hallways, and he will be a space they can't fill. And then time will pass, and the hole will be gone, like when an organ is removed and the body's fluids flow into the space it leaves. Humans can't tolerate emptiness for long.
Veronica Roth
This is bizarre, I say. I think it's beautiful, he says. I give him a look. What? He laughs a little. They each have an equal role in government they each feel equally responsible. And it makes them care it makes them kind. I think that's beautiful.
Veronica Roth
The shouts of triumph become infectious, and I lift my voice to join in, running toward my teammates. Christina holds the flag up high, and everyone clusters around her, grabbing her arm to lift the flag even higher. I can't reach her, so I stand off to the side, grinning. A hand touches my shoulder. Well done, Four says quietly.
Veronica Roth
It isn’t right to wish pain on other people just because they hurt me first.
Veronica Roth
Do remember, though, that sometimes the people you oppress become mightier than you would like.
Veronica Roth
Living without virtues is to live divorced from society, seperated from the most important thing in life, community.
Veronica Roth
All I want is to become someone new. In this case, Tobias Johnson, son of Evelyn Johnson. Tobias Johnson may have lived a dull and empty life, but he is at least a whole person, not this fragment of a person that I am, too damaged by pain to become anything useful.
Veronica Roth
I think it's a human tendency that's been around for a while to try to be as good as possible to prove your worth.
