More quotes by Veronica Roth
I laugh, mirthless, a mad laugh. I savor the scowl on her face, the hate in her eyes. She was like a machine she was cold and emotionless, bound by logic alone. And I broke her.
Veronica Roth
Maybe it's a little depressing to think that my vision of a perfect world is actually so messed up, but I think it means that I don't really understand what 'perfect' is.
Veronica Roth
Why do you say vague things if you don't want to be asked about them?
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
Why are you constantly escorting me places?” I say. “Isn’t there a depraved activity you’re supposed to be taking part in? Kicking puppies or spying on girls while they change, or something?
Veronica Roth
It isn't the height that scares me - the height makes me feel alive with energy, every organ and vessel and muscle in my body singing at the same pitch. Then I realize what it is. It's him. Something about him makes me feel like I am about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
Life damages us, every one. We can't escape that damage.
Veronica Roth
My heart beats so hard it hurts, and I can't scream and I can't breathe, but I also feel everything, every vein and every fiber, every bone and every nerve, all awake and buzzing in my body as if charged with electricity. I am pure adrenaline.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
The battle we are fighting is not against a particular group. It is against human nature - or at least what it has become.
Veronica Roth
What's worse: to be idle while someone dies, or to be exiled and empty-handed?
Veronica Roth
What thought or message would you put in a fortune cookie? Stop reading this. Eat the cookie and live your life.
Veronica Roth
I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last.
Veronica Roth
I smirk as Peter misses again. I can't help myself. Hey, Peter, I say, Remember what a target is?
Veronica Roth
One choice can transform you. One choice can destroy you. Once choice will define you.
Veronica Roth
I am his, and he is mine, and it has been that way all along.
Veronica Roth
I imagine the wave of water colliding with the rock and spilling over the tile floor, collecting around my shoes. Doing a little at once can fix something, eventually, but I feel like when you believe that something is truly a problem, you throw everything you have at it, because you just can’t help yourself.
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'll be your family now, he says.
