More quotes by Veronica Roth
Killing you is not the worst thing they can do to you, I say. Controlling you is.
Veronica Roth
This is what I wanted most to avoid: for my rises and falls to become Tobias's rises and falls. That's why I can't let him step in to defend me now.
Veronica Roth
I need the protection of seeming weak.
Veronica Roth
In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life, so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn't be dating them.
Veronica Roth
Not like Tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles, like he is surprised you bothered to look at him in the first place.
Veronica Roth
Instead I just let the silence stretch out between us. It's the only adequate response to what he just told me, the only that does the tragedy any justice instead of patching it hastily and moving on.
Veronica Roth
I wonder if this is how is is with all evil men, that to someone, they look just like good men, talk like good men, are just as likable as good men.
Veronica Roth
He touches my face, covering my cheeks with his hands, sliding his fingertips down my neck, fitting his fingers to the slight curve of my hips. I can't stop.
Veronica Roth
I don't see any elderly people in the crowd. Are there any old Dauntless? Do they not last that long, or are they just sent away when they can't jump off moving trains anymore?
Veronica Roth
I have your back. I didn't mean only when it's easy. All the time.
Veronica Roth
She can't possibly be me, though she moves when I move
Veronica Roth
Faction before blood.
Veronica Roth
We share a common enemy, but does that make us friends?
Veronica Roth
The gun goes off. I fall.
Veronica Roth
I didn't realize until that moment that Dauntless initiation had taught me an important lesson: how to keep going.
Veronica Roth
Four flips the gun in this hand, presses the barrel to Peter's forehead, and clicks a bullet into place. Peter freezes with his lips parted, the yawn dead in his mouth. Wake. Up, Four snaps. You are holding a loaded gun, you idiot. Act like it.
Veronica Roth
She believes that Tobias belongs to her now. She doesn't know the truth, that he belongs to himself.
Veronica Roth
You were afraid of shooting people? No, I say. I was afraid of my considerable capacity to kill. How many young men fear that there is a monster inside of them?
Veronica Roth
I always appreciate people's opinions, but sometimes I have to take a step back and remember why I'm writing and what I want to do with it. Shutting out the voices is difficult but it's been good for me.
Veronica Roth
Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you.
Veronica Roth
