Just as I have insisted on his worth, he has always insisted on my strength, insisted that my capacity is greater than I believe. And I know, without being told, that's what love does, when it's right-it makes you more than you were, more than you thought you could be. This is right.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
She believes that Tobias belongs to her now. She doesn't know the truth, that he belongs to himself.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I suppose that now would be the time to ask for forgiveness for all the things I've done, but I'm sure my list would never be complete. I also don't believe that whatever comes after life depends on my correctly reciting a list of my transgressions...I don't believe that what comes after depends on anything I do at all.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I settle into their pace. The uniform pounding of feet in my ears and the homogeneity of the people around me makes me believe that I could choose this. I could be subsumed into Abnegation’s hive mind, projecting always outward.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
It’s not a perfect situation. But when you have to choose between two bad options, you pick the one that saves the people you love and believe in most. You just do. Okay?
Quote by -Veronica Roth
That quality frightens me now, because I know what he told me: that I was broken, that I was worthless, that I was nothing. How many of those things did he make me believe?
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I just wanted to thank you' he says, his voice low. 'A group of scientists told you that my genes were damaged, that there was something wrong with me - they showed you the test results that proved it. And even I started to believe it.' He touches my face, his thumb skimming my cheekbone, and his eyes are on mine, intense and insistent. 'You never believed it,' he says 'Not for a second. You always insisted I was... I don't know, whole.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
Some people believe that I will go nowhere, and maybe they're right, but maybe they're not.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I think that you are the liar!" I say, my voice quaking. "You tell me you love me, you trust me, you think I'm more perceptive than the average person. And the first second that belief in my perceptiveness, that trust, that love is put to the test, it falls apart." I am crying now, but I am not ashamed of the tears shining on my cheeks or the thickness of my voice. "So you must have lied when you told me all those things... you must have, because I can't believe your love is really that feeble.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I can't force you. I can't make you want to survive this." He pulls me against him and runs his hand over my hair, tucking it behind my ear. His fingers trail down my neck and over my shoulder, and he says, "But you will do it. It doesn't matter if you believe you can or not. You will, because that's who you are.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
He should be the one to die, part of me thinks. I don't want to lose him, another part argues. I don't know which part to believe.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I don't believe it is more important to move forward than to know the truth.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
We believe in bravery. We believe in taking action. We believe in freedom from fear and in acquiring the skills to force the bad out of our world so that the good can prosper and thrive. If you also believe in those things, we welcome you.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
Can I be forgiven for all I've done to get here? I want to be. I can. I believe it.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I love Tris the Divergent, who makes decisions apart from faction loyalty, who isn’t some faction archetype. But the Tris who’s trying as hard as she can to destroy herself … I can’t love her.” I want to scream. But not because I’m angry, because I’m afraid he’s right. My hands shake and I grab the hem of my shirt to steady them. He touches his forehead to mine and closes his eyes. “I believe you’re still in there,” he says against my mouth. “Come back.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
Well, technology is supposed to make life better," she says. "No matter what you believe, there's a technology out there for you.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
We believe that peace is hard-won, That sometimes it is necessary to fight for peace. But more than that, we believe that Justice is more important than peace.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
Do remember, though, that sometimes the people you oppress become mightier than you would like.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I slowly realized that perfectionism just not that important. What's more important is to try to love the people around you. Whatever that means at a particular time is the best you can do.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I didn't know that idiocy caused people to just start spontaneously bleeding from the nose.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
You need to be passionate about the creative work that you're doing, but you need to be kind of emotionally separated from how people react to it or how it does. Those things should be secondary, and primary should be your love of the creative act.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
We are not people who touch each other carelessly; every point of contact between us feels important, a rush of energy and relief.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
It isn’t right to wish pain on other people just because they hurt me first.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
All that land is filled with people, every one of them different, and the things they do to each other matter.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
People, even genetically damaged people, make choices. That’s what matters.’
Quote by -Veronica Roth
Is this Prior?" "In the flesh." "Why's he bleeding?" "Because he's an idiot." Zeke offers me a black jacket with a factionless symbol stitched into the collar. "I didn't know that idiocy caused people to just start spontaneously bleeding from the nose." I wrap the jacket around Caleb's shoulders and fasten one of the buttons over his chest. He avoids my eyes. "I think it's a new phenomenon.", I say.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
Sometimes, all it takes to save people from a terrible fate is one person willing to do something about it. Even if that "something" is a fake bathroom break.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I used to think that when people fell in love, they just landed where they landed, and they had no choice in the matter afterward. And maybe that's true of beginnings, but it's not true of this, now.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
The division is based on knowledge, based on qualifications - but as I learned from the factionless, a system that relies on a group of uneducated people to do its dirty work without giving them a way to rise is hardly fair.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I never used to understand why people bothered to hold hands as they walked, but then he runs one of his fingertips down my palm, and I shiver and understand it completely
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I belong to the people I love, and they belong to me--they, and the love and loyaty I give them, form my identity far more than any word or group ever could.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
We don't know what's happened out there since they put us in here, or how many generations have lived and died since they did.We could be the last people left.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
People are supossed to aspire to become their fathers, not shudder at the thought.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I don’t know what world you live in, but in mine, people only do things for you for one of two reasons. The first is if they want something in return. And the second is if they feel like they owe you something.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
You know what Abnegation used to say about pride?' 'Something unfavorable,I assume.' I laugh.' Obviously. They said it blinds people to the truth of what they are.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I get the strange urge to hit my head against the wall. Other people's sobs make me feel uncomfortable.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
My problem might be that even if I did go home, I wouldn’t belong there, among people who give without thinking and care without trying.
Quote by -Veronica Roth
I settle into their pace. The uniform pounding of feet in my ears and the homogeneity of the people around me makes me believe that I could choose this. I could be subsumed into Abnegation’s hive mind, projecting always outward.
