Veronica Roth Quote #1
(...) a man encased in ice, his eyes hard and his voice like a frosty exhale.
Veronica Roth Quote #2
(...) I do want to leave, in the desperate way that an animal wants to escape a trap. Wild and rabid. Ready to gnaw through bone.
Veronica Roth Quote #3
- It doesn't do anything obvious. But it might be able to do something in here. - Then she touched her hand to her heart. - Beautiful things sometimes do.
Veronica Roth Quote #4
... but in an attack, surviving is an accident. It doesn't take skill to stand in a place where no bullets find you, or to fire into the dark and hit a man you didn't see. It is all luck, or providence, depending on what you believe.
Veronica Roth Quote #5
... if they are persistent enough, even tiny drops of water, over time, can change the rock forever. And it will never change back. - Zoe
Veronica Roth Quote #6
...something important is lost if this man has been forced to deny his own nature.
Veronica Roth Quote #7
...we have something they want. Valuing knowledge above all else results in a lust for power, and that leads men into dark and empty places. We should be thankful that we know better.
Veronica Roth Quote #8
—Sí, a veces la vida es un asco —responde ella—, pero ¿sabes por qué la aguanto? Arqueo las cejas. Ella también las arquea, imitándome. —Por los momentos que no son un asco —explica—. El truco es fijarse en ellos cuando aparecen.
Veronica Roth Quote #9
A chasm reminds us that there is a fine line between bravery and idiocy.
Veronica Roth Quote #10
A son says to his Mother: Mother, today I fought with my friend.
His Mother says: Why did you fight with your friend?
Because he demanded something of me, and I would not give it to him.
Why did you not give it to him?
Because it was mine.
My son, you now have possessions, but you do not have your friend. Which would you rather have?
My friend.
Then give freely, trusting that you will also be given what you need.Veronica Roth Quote #11
All three combined is...a different kind of stupid formerly unheard of by humankind.
Veronica Roth Quote #12
And everyone saw me. Tobias saw me.
I hear footsteps. Tobias marches toward me and wrenches me to my feet.
What the hell was that, Stiff?
I... My breath comes in a hiccup. I didn't-
Get yourself together! This is pathetic.
Something within me snaps. My tears stop. Heat races through my body, driving the weakness out of me, and I smack him so hard my knuckles burn with the impact. He stares at me, one side of his face bright with blush-blood, and I stare back.
Shut up, I say. I yank my arm from his grasp and walk out of the room.Veronica Roth Quote #13
And what this is, I realize, is life. I don't want it. I want my parents and I have for weeks. I've been trying to claw my way back to them, and now I am so close and he is telling me not to.
Veronica Roth Quote #14
Aquellos que desean el poder,y lo consiguen,viven con el miedo a perderlo
Veronica Roth Quote #15
Are you asking me to undress, Tris?'
A nervous laugh gurgles from my throat. 'Only ... partiallyVeronica Roth Quote #16
Aren’t you going to ask me if I’m all right?” I say.
“No, I’m pretty sure you’re not all right.”
He shakes his head. “I’m going to ask you not to make any decisions until we’ve talked
about it.Veronica Roth Quote #17
Así funciona el amor cuando es de verdad: te convierte en algo mejor, en más de lo que creías poder llegar a ser.
Veronica Roth Quote #18
At home I used to spend calm, pleasant nights with my family. My mother knit scarves for the neighborhood kids. My father helped Caleb with his homework. There was a fire in the fireplace and peace in my heart, as I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing, and everything was quiet. I have never been carried around by a large boy, or laughed until my stomach hurt at the dinner table, or listened to the clamor of a hundred people all talking at once. Peace is restrained; this is free.
Veronica Roth Quote #19
Be careful, though.
Aren't I always?
No, I think the word for how you usually are is 'reckless.Veronica Roth Quote #20
Because inside me is a beast that snarls, and growls, and strains toward freedom.. and as hard as I try, I cannot kill it.
Veronica Roth Quote #21
Because life is not fair, Albert. And the world is conspiring against you.
Veronica Roth Quote #22

Veronica Roth Quote #23
But I know that for every good thing that comes along, there is always a cost.
Veronica Roth Quote #24
But then he stops at the door frame and says, It's 9:24. Telling me the time is a small act of betrayal-and therefore an ordinary act of bravery. It is maybe the first time I've seen Peter be truly Dauntless.
Veronica Roth Quote #25
But then I stopped allowing myself to dream, because it was more painful to long for things and never get them than to deal with whatever was in front of me. [...] I'm too old to hear confront nonsense anymore. Too old to believe that everything will be alright.
Veronica Roth Quote #26
But there's so much that was a lie, it's hard to figure out what was true, what was real, what matters.
Veronica Roth Quote #27
But when I do feel all the strength go out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then, or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.
Veronica Roth Quote #28
But you should know that about Dauntless- girl, guy, whatever, it doesn't matter here. What matters is what you've got in your gut.
Veronica Roth Quote #29
Caleb and Tris exchange a look. The skin on his face and on her knuckles is nearly the same colour, purple-blue-green, as if drawn with ink. This is what happens when siblings collide - they injure each other in the same way.
Veronica Roth Quote #30
Caleb,' I say. 'I love you.
