More quotes by Veronica Roth
Human reason can excuse any evil that is why it's so important that we don't rely on it.
Veronica Roth
I met him while I was imprisoned, I say, and my voice sounds far away even to me. I was just curious. I wouldn't judge him too harshly, says Fernando. Jeanine can be extraordinarily persuasive to those who aren't naturally suspicious. I have always been naturally suspicious. ... Yeah, I say. So have I.
Veronica Roth
This was the first place I everfelt strong. Every time I breathe this air I feel it again.
Veronica Roth
Be careful, though. Aren't I always? No, I think the word for how you usually are is 'reckless.
Veronica Roth
He is not sweet or gentle or particularly kind. But he is smart and brave, and even though he saved me, he treated me like I was strong. That is all I need to know.
Veronica Roth
Life's something we already understand. Death is a mystery.
Veronica Roth
It's strange to see people you don't know well in the morning, with sleepy eyes and pillow creases in their cheeks
Veronica Roth
Four! I call out. Why am I calling a number? Oh yes. Because that's his name. — Tris.
Veronica Roth
But now I’m wondering if I need it anymore, if we ever really need these words, “Dauntless,” “Erudite,” “Divergent,” “Allegiant,” or if we can just be friends or lovers or siblings, defined instead by the choices we make and the love and loyalty that binds us.
Veronica Roth
I'll have to keep looking for more of them, more brief moments of freedom in a world that refuses to allow it.
Veronica Roth
Human beings as a whole cannot be good for long before the bad creeps back in and poisons us again.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes I feel like there is so much to be afraid of, and sometimes I feel like there is nothing left to fear.
Veronica Roth
It's stupid to miss a thing when there are so many people to miss instead, but I miss this train already, and all the others that carried me through the city, my city, after I was brave enough to ride them. I brush my fingers over the car wall, just once, and then jump.
Veronica Roth
I do trust you, is what I want to say. But it isn't true -- I didn't trust him to love me despite the terrible things I had done. I don't trust anyone to do that, but that isn't his problem it's mine.
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
She can't possibly be me, though she moves when I move
Veronica Roth
I hear footsteps and Four's hands wrap around my wrists. I let him pry my hands from my eyes. He encloses one of my hands perfectly between two of his. The warmth of his skin overwhelms the ache in my fingers from holding the bars. You all right? he asks, pressing our hands together. Yeah. He starts to laugh.
Veronica Roth
Fear doesn't shut you down it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating. He releases me but doesn't pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. Sometimes I just...want to see it again. Want to see you awake.
Veronica Roth
When i get home, I sit on the front step and take deep breaths of the cool spring air for a few minutes. My mother was the one who taught me to steal moments like those, moments of freedom, though she didn't now it. I watched her... But I learned something else from watching her too, which is that the free moments always have to end.
Veronica Roth
There's really no way to be perfect. Perfectionism is a silly trait to have, so in a lot of ways that inspired the world of 'Divergent,' in which everyone is striving toward that ideal and falling short of it.
Veronica Roth
