More quotes by Veronica Roth
Sometimes pain is for the greater good.
Veronica Roth
Not writing is as important as writing - go out into the world and remember how interesting it, and the people in it, are.
Veronica Roth
It's what you deserve to hear, I say firmly, my eyes going cloudy with tears. That you're whole, that you're worth loving, that you're the best person I've ever known.
Veronica Roth
I didn't know that idiocy caused people to just start spontaneously bleeding from the nose.
Veronica Roth
'Divergent' was my utopian world. I mean, that wasn't the plan. I never even set out to write dystopian fiction, that's just what I had when I was finished. At the beginning, I was just writing about a place I found interesting and a character with a compelling story, and as I began to build the world, I realized that it was my utopia.
Veronica Roth
And he’s right to say that every faction loses something when it gains a virtue: the Dauntless, brave but cruel the Erudite, intelligent but vain the Amity, peaceful but passive the Candor, honest but inconsiderate the Abnegation, selfless but stifling.
Veronica Roth
Someone shouts, Enough! and I think too much and nothing at all.
Veronica Roth
Some people believe that I will go nowhere, and maybe they're right, but maybe they're not.
Veronica Roth
If I don't survive, I say, tell Tobias I didn't want to leave him.
Veronica Roth
You're not a coward just because you don't want to hurt people.
Veronica Roth
I am his, and he is mine, and it has been that way all along.
Veronica Roth
If you actually succeed in creating a utopia, you've created a world without conflict, in which everything is perfect. And if there's no conflict, there are no stories worth telling - or reading!
Veronica Roth
There is a difference between admitting and confessing. Admitting involves softening, making excuses for things that cannot be excused confessing just names the crimes at its full severity.
Veronica Roth
I will be my undoing, If I become my obsession. I will forget the ones I love, If I do not serve them. I will war with others, If I refuse to see them. Therefore, I choose to turn away From my reflection, To rely not on myself But on my brothers and sisters, To project always outward Until I disappear [And only God remains.]
Veronica Roth
He slides his hand over my cheek, one finger anchored behind my ear. Then he tilts his head down and kisses me, sending a warm ache through my body. I wrap my hands around his arm, holding him there as long as I can. When he touches me, the hollowed-out feeling in my chest and stomach is not as noticeable.
Veronica Roth
Aren’t you going to ask me if I’m all right?” I say. “No, I’m pretty sure you’re not all right.” He shakes his head. “I’m going to ask you not to make any decisions until we’ve talked about it.
Veronica Roth
Well, technology is supposed to make life better, she says. No matter what you believe, there's a technology out there for you.
Veronica Roth
Awkwardness aside, it's nice to be liked.
Veronica Roth
The reason the factions were evil is because there was no way out of them. They gave us the illusion of choice without actually giving us a choice.
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
