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
Everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
The floor is solid metal in some places and metal grating in others. Everything smells like rotting garbage and fire. Don't say I never took you anywhere nice, Peter says. Wouldn't dream of it, I say.
Veronica Roth

But all I feel is a lump in my throat. I am no longer the daughter my parents knew. They will never know me as I am now.
Veronica Roth
He's one of the last friends I have, she says, her voice breaking. I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at you the same way again.
Veronica Roth
Fine, he says. Then I love you.
Veronica Roth
We don't need you as an ally. We're Dauntless. -Tori
Veronica Roth
To find that place between what I want and what I think is wise.
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
Fighting for survival in a shattered world... the truth is her only hope.
Veronica Roth
We believe in shouting for those who can only whisper, in defending those who cannot defend themselves.
Veronica Roth
What makes you different, makes you dangerous.
Veronica Roth
Dead people can be our heroes because they can't disappoint us later they only improve over time, as we forget more and more about them.
Veronica Roth
I have a message for the Divergent I am Divergent. This is not a negotiation No, it is not. It is a warning I understand. Every two days until one of you delivers yourself to Erudite headquarters . . . I will. . . . this will happen again It will never happen again.
