To me, when someone wrongs you, you both share the burden of that wrongdoing—the pain of it weighs on both of you. Forgiveness, then, means choosing to bear the full weight all by yourself.

More quotes by Veronica Roth
I like to think I'm helping them by hating them. I'm reminding them that they aren't God's gift to humankind.
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
In the days that follow, it's movement, not stillness, that helps to keep the grief at bay.
Veronica Roth
All I want is to become someone new. In this case, Tobias Johnson, son of Evelyn Johnson. Tobias Johnson may have lived a dull and empty life, but he is at least a whole person, not this fragment of a person that I am, too damaged by pain to become anything useful.
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
I forget that he is another person instead it feels like he is another part of me, just as essential as a heart or an eye or an arm.
Veronica Roth
Psyche you out? I repeat. I'm your FRIEND. I wouldn't do that. He doesn't say anything. I can tell he doesn't believe me-not quite.
Veronica Roth
What good is a prepared body if you have a scattered mind?
Veronica Roth
Maybe I was afraid to trust him with something so personal as my devotion.
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
I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave. I suppose that now, I must become more than either.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes all I want is to be a few inches taller so the world does not look like a dense collection of torsos.
Veronica Roth
I feel like someone breathed new air into my lungs. I am not Abnegation. I am not Dauntless. I am Divergent.
Veronica Roth
You're not very nice, I say, grinning. You're one to talk. Hey, I could be nice if I tried. Hmm. He taps his chin. Say something nice, then. You're very good-looking. He smiles, his teeth a flash in this dark. I like this 'nice' thing.
Veronica Roth
I kiss him as the train slides into unlit, uncertain land. I kiss him for as long as I want, for longer than I should, given that my brother sits three feet away from me.
Veronica Roth
I would be shocked by the lack of security if we were not at Amity headquarters. They often straddle the line between trust and stupidity.
Veronica Roth
He told me once to be brave, and though I have stood still while knives spun toward my face and jumped off a roof, I never thought I would need bravery in the small moments of my life. I do.
Veronica Roth
I get the strange urge to hit my head against the wall. Other people's sobs make me feel uncomfortable.
Veronica Roth
She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love, not misplace disgust for another person's genetics.
Veronica Roth
A brave man acknowledges the strength of others.
