“What did you do?" I scream.
"You die, I die too.”
― Veronica Roth, Insurgent

“It isn't just brave that she died for me; it is brave that she did it without announcing it, without hesitation, and without appearing to consider another option.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“One thing I know: For helping me forget how awful the world is, I prefer her to alcohol.”
― Veronica Roth, Four: A Divergent Story Collection

“Tris," he says. "What did they do to you? You're acting like a lunatic."
"That's not very nice of you to say," I say. "They put me in a good mood, that's all. And now I really want to kiss you, so if you could just relax-”
― Veronica Roth, Insurgent

“I touch her cheek to slow the kiss down, holding her mouth on mine so I can feel every place where our lips touch and every place where they pull away. I savor the air we share in the second afterwards and the slip of her nose across mine. I think of something to say, but it is too intimate, so I swallow it. A moment later I decide I don't care.

"I wish we were alone," I say as I back out of the cell.

She smiles. "I almost always wish that.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“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”
― Veronica Roth

“I feel like myself, strong and weak at once - allowed, at least for a little while, to be both.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“I feel the urge, familiar now, to wrench myself from my body and speak directly into her mind. It is the same urge, I realize, that makes me want to kiss her every time I see her, because even a sliver of distance between us is infuriating. Our fingers, loosely woven a moment ago, now clutch together, her palm tacky with moisture, mine rough in places where I have grabbed too many handles on too many moving trains. Now she looks pale and small, but her eyes make me think of wide-open skies that I have never actually seen, only dreamed of.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Eyes open, then," I say, tapping the skin between my eyebrows. I don’t really need her eyes to be on mine, but I feel better when they are.”
― Veronica Roth, Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Knife-Throwing Scene

“He holds my face in both hands and kisses me back. I press into the distance between us until it is gone, crushing the secrets we have kept and the suspicions we have harbored-for good, I hope.”
― Veronica Roth, Insurgent

“Can you tell me where to find Tobias'? I ask. When I imagine his face, affection for him bubbles up inside of me and all I want to do is kiss him. 'Four, I mean. He's so handsome, isn't he? I don't really understand why he likes me so much. I'm not very nice, am I?'
-Tris”

“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 avarge person. And the first second that belief in my perceptiveness, that trust, that love is put to the test, it all falls apart." I am crying now, nut 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 really is that feeble."
I step closer to him, so that there are only inches between us, and none of the others can hear me.
"I am still the person who would have died rather than kill you," I say, remembering the attack simulation and the feel of his heartbeat under my hand. "I am exactly who you think I am.”
― Veronica Roth, Insurgent

“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.”

“We believe that preparation eradicates cowardice, which we define as the failure to act in the midst of fear.”
― Veronica Roth

“I understand why she did all those things, but that doesn't mean we aren't still broken.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Now she looks pale and small, but her eyes make me think of wide- open skies that I have never actually seen, only dreamed of.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“I know some things--I know that I'm not alone, that I have friends, that I'm in love. I know that I don't want to die, and for me that's something--more than I could have said a few weeks ago.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Because even a sliver of distance between us is infuriating.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

Rosethorn: "Ask me if I care what you want.”
― Tamora Pierce, Daja's Book

“If you see someone in trouble, you should help them. Experiment or not.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“I laugh, and it's laughter, not light, that casts out the darkness building within me, that reminds me I am still alive, even in this strange place where everything I've ever known is coming apart.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Every tattoo I got with them is a mark of their friendship, and almost every time I have laughed in this dark place was because of them. I don’t want to lose them. But I feel like I have already.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“If they told us what to believe, and we didn't come to it on our own, is it still true?”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Not all nine-fingered girls have hatchets, she said in Tradertalk. Some of us just tried to have a conversation with a snapping turtle.

(Sandry to Daja, referring to her conversation with Tris.)”
― Tamora Pierce, Sandry's Book

“She believes that Tobias belongs to her now. She doesn't know the truth, that he belongs to himself.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Ishabal: "If you may correct your vision as you like, why do you wear spectacles?"
Tris: "Because I like them. Because I have better things to do with my magic than fixing my vision when ordinary glass will do.”
― Tamora Pierce, The Will of the Empress

“I understand why she did it this way, face-first--it was because it made her feel like she was flying, like she was a bird.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“We can't just act without thinking anymore, Tris. They've been trying to teach as that all along. I guess if we're mages, we can't exactly be kids, can we?
- Sandry after the pirate attack”
― Tamora Pierce, Tris's Book

“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, Allegiant
