“Can you be a girl for a few seconds?"
"I'm always a girl" I frown.
"You know what I mean. Like a silly, annoying girl"
I twirl my hair around my finger. "Kay.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“Who cares about pretty? I'm going for noticeable.”

“What did you do, memorize a map of the city for fun?â€� says Christina.
“Yes,â€� says Will, looking puzzled. “Didn’t you?”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“The person you became with her is worth being.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“What is it with you today?â€� says Christina on the way to breakfast. Her eyes are still
swollen from sleep and her tangled hair forms a fuzzy halo around her face.
“Oh, you know,� I say. “Sun shining. Birds chirping.�
She raises an eyebrow at me, as if reminding me that we are in an underground
tunnel.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“Looks like someone had a mood swing.â€� She rolls her eyes. “Like you don’t want to
know what his fears are. He acts so tough that he’s probably afraid of marshmallows
and really bright sunrises or something.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?”
― Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market and Other Poems

“Before I leave the bathroom, I pinch my cheeks hard to bring blood to the surface of my skin. It’s stupid, but I don’t want to look weak and exhausted in front of everyone.

When I walk back into Tobias’s room, Uriah is sprawled across the bed facedown; Christina is holding the blue sculpture above Tobias’s desk, examining it; and Lynn is poised above Uriah with a pillow, a wicked grin creeping across her face.

Lynn smacks Uriah hard in the back of the head, Christina says, “Hey Tris!� and Uriah cries, “Ow! How on earth do you make a pillow hurt, Lynn?�

“My exceptional strength,� she says. “Did you get smacked, Tris? One of your cheeks is bright red.�

I must not have pinched the other one hard enough. “No, it’s just â€� my morning glow.”
― Veronica Roth, Insurgent

“Sorry, am I being rude?" she asks.
"I'm used to saying whatever is on my mind. Mom used to say that politeness is deception in pretty packaging”

“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.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“I glance at Tris. She grins at me, then leans in to whisper something to Christina.
"Are you here to help or what, Stiff?" I say.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.”

― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“With four? Doing a little... Addition? Multiplication?”
― Veronica Roth

“It's too late. Seventeen-year-olds don't need fathers.
Oh god. I'm thirty-four years old and I need a father. I can't even begin to think what my daughter needs.”
― Melina Marchetta, Looking for Alibrandi

“Are you going to cut my throat?" Mark asked.
I'm going to cur your hair. Hold still," Christina said.
"As my lady requests.”
― Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

“It happened. It was awful. You aren't perfect. That's all there is. Don't confuse your grief with guilt."
We stay in the silence and the loneliness of the otherwise empty dormitory for a few more minutes, and I try to let her words work themselves into me.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“You're the father of the person who is my life.”
― Melina Marchetta, Looking for Alibrandi

“Christina and I don't speak, but I know our thoughts are the same, fixed on Uriah, on his last breaths.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“no wonder you left."
Yeah," i say, rolling my eyes. " It was just because of the food.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“I spent the whole morning looking at him. He looked at Mama. Mama looked at me. Then he would look at me. I would look at Mama. She would look at him. In different circumstances, I'd be amused.”
― Melina Marchetta, Looking for Alibrandi

“Yeah. Good.â€� I clear my throat. “So, this plan. It’s kind of stupid, right?â€�
“It’s not ... stupid.�
“Oh, come on. Trusting Marcus is stupid. Trying to get past the Dauntless at the fence is stupid. Going against the Dauntless and factionless is stupid. All three combined is ... a different kind of stupid formerly unheard of by humankind.�
“Unfortunately it’s also the best plan we have,â€� she points out. “If we want everyone to know the truth.”
― Veronica Roth, Insurgent

“A weight settles on my shoulders. I knew, of course, that Uriah might never wake up. But the hope that kept the grief at bay is dwindling, slipping away with each word she speaks.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“We just...weren't supposed to hurt people", I say.
"I like to think I'm helping them by hating them", she says. "I'm reminding them that they aren't God's gift to humankind".”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“This is supposed to be a lighthearted session of symbolic document destruction, not a political debate.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“Conversion turns the bias of the WILL both as to means and end. The intentions of the will are altered. Now the man has new ends and designs. He now intends God above all, and desires and designs nothing in all the world, so much as that Christ may be magnified in him. He counts himself more happy in this than in all that the earth could yield, that he may be serviceable to Christ, and bring Him glory. This is the mark he aims at, that the name of Jesus may be great in the world.”
― Joseph Alleine, An Alarm to the Unconverted

“She looked stunned. “I feel like I don't know you anymore.â€� “You never did,â€� I replied, just as coolly. “You were always too busy thinking about who you would like me to be that you never thought to ask who I actually was.”
― Nenia Campbell, Cloak and Dagger

“They're disgusting. Those papery wings and their stupid bug bodies...”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“What a pity? Mankind often neglect the knowledge that will save their soul.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“Moths," repeats Will. "You're afraid of moths?"

"Not just a cloud of moths," she says, "like...a swarm of them. Everywhere. All those wings and legs and..." She shudders and shakes her head.

"Terrifying," Will says with mock seriousness. "That's my girl. Tough as cotton balls."

"Oh, Shut up.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
