Veronica Roth
Tricking someone into grief is one of the cruelest tricks a person can play, and its been played on me twice.
Veronica Roth
For me, it feels like driving from truth into a lie, from adulthood to childhoold. I watch the land of pavement and glass and metal turn into an empty field. The snow is falling softly now, and I can faintly see the city's skyline up ahead, the buildings just a shade darker than the clouds.
Veronica Roth
