Veronica Roth
We believe in shouting for those who can only whisper, in defending those who cannot defend themselves.
Veronica Roth
It doesn't take skill to stand in a place were no bullets find you, or to fire into the dark and hit a man you didn't see.
Veronica Roth
I settle into their pace. The uniform pounding of feet in my ears and the homogeneity of the people around me makes me believe that I could choose this. I could be subsumed into Abnegation’s hive mind, projecting always outward.
Veronica Roth
Lynn smacks Uriah hard in the back of the head, Christina says, “Hey Tris!” and Uriah cries, “Ow! How on earth do you make a pillow hurt, Lynn?” “My exceptional strength,” she says.
