Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
I wonder how I seem to them. They must see someone I don't see. Someone capable and strong. Someone I can't be someone I can be.
Veronica Roth
Resisting is worth doing.
Veronica Roth
I want people to come away from my book with questions. Questions about virtue and goodness. Not answers.
Veronica Roth
How strange that something so simple could have been instrumental in my decision to ruin one of my most relationships and friendships, and damage another.
Veronica Roth
No need to continually insist upon your unshakable masculinity.
Veronica Roth
I don't need to relive my fears anymore. All I need to do now is try to overcome them.
Veronica Roth
It would be nice if life worked this way, stripping the dirt from our lives and sending us back out into the world clean. But some dirt is destined to lingered.
Veronica Roth
I have discovered that sitting still leaves little spaces for the grief to get in, so I stay busy.
Veronica Roth
This is how we came by our factions: Candor, Erudite, Amity, Abnegation and Dauntless. Max smiles. In them we find administrators and teachers and counselors and leaders and protectors. In them we find our sense of belonging, our sense of community, our very lives.
Veronica Roth
I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren't all that different.
Veronica Roth
In some parts of the ancient world, the hawk symbolized the sun. Back when I got this, I figured if I always had the sun on me, I wouldn't be afraid of the dark
