More quotes by Veronica Roth
I was so afraid that we would just keep colliding over and over again if we stayed together, and that eventually the impact would break me. But now I know I am like the blade and he is like the whetstone- I am too strong to break so easily, and I become better, sharper, every time I touch him.
Veronica Roth
I feel like someone is pressing me into a mold that does not fit my body, forcing me intothe wrong shape.
Veronica Roth
He pus his lips next to my ear and says, “You look good, Tris.
Veronica Roth
Can I be forgiven for all I've done to get here? I want to be. I can. I believe it.
Veronica Roth
A brave man acknowledges the strength of others.

I'm a fairly religious person, so I believe in some things that sound a little crazy I'm sure, depending on where you're standing. I believe in leaving room for things that you can't explain in the universe, and you don't have to be religious to leave room for those things.

You don’t always have to smack people in the face with how strong you are
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 brought you the truth about our city and the reason we are in it. If you aren't thanking me for it, you should at least do something about it instead of sitting here on this mess you made, pretending it's a throne!
Veronica Roth
Arrogance is one of the flaws in the Erudite heart -- I know. It is often in mine.
Veronica Roth
This is how we came by our factions: Candor, Erudite, Amity, Abnegation and Dauntless. Max smiles. In them we find administrators and teachers and counselors and leaders and protectors. In them we find our sense of belonging, our sense of community, our very lives.

With four? Doing a little... Addition? Multiplication?

Some things are hard to let go of.
Veronica Roth
That's why you like me!' I exclaim. 'Because you're not nice either! It makes so much more sense now.' 'Come on,' he says. 'We're going to see Johanna.' 'I like you, too.' 'That's encouraging,' he replies flatly. 'Come on. Oh for God's sake. I'll just carry you.

This concept could easily have gone awry. Stories about love tend to go that way sometimes. They wander into the realm of cheese and never return, which I think is a shame, because there is a way to write about romantic love without breaking out the Velveeta.
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
