I want people to come away from my book with questions. Questions about virtue and goodness. Not answers.

I think it's fascinating to look at a world that an author has created that has sort of stemmed from the world now, and usually dystopian books point out something about our current world and exaggerates a tendency or a belief.

Maybe it's a little depressing to think that my vision of a perfect world is actually so messed up, but I think it means that I don't really understand what 'perfect' is.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

There's really no way to be perfect. Perfectionism is a silly trait to have, so in a lot of ways that inspired the world of 'Divergent,' in which everyone is striving toward that ideal and falling short of it.

People make me key chains... someone attached a Dauntless symbol to a silver pen. That one is what I use to sign books. I use that a lot. I like to keep them around because they remind me that people are waiting for these books and that they really love them. It gives me motivation in those times when I'm not feeling very motivated.

When you're a writer, you hear your internal critic, and that's really hard to get over. And then sometimes you hear critiques from classmates and stuff. But when a book comes out, it's just hundreds of opinions and you have to learn to separate out the ones you want to listen to or figure out many you want to listen to.

I love 'Harry Potter.' I'm a huge nerd - I would dress up if I could.

When you're a teenager, every...

When you're a teenager, everything seems like the end of the world, and I don't think that's necessarily a silly thing. You're waking up and becoming aware that the world has problems and those problems affect you, whereas when you're young they don't seem to affect you that much even if you're aware of them.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

I really like the group tour ...

I really like the group tour better than going it alone. First of all, it kind of takes the pressure off a little. I'm not a naturally extroverted person. But I also like it because it brings in new fans. For example, someone who really loves Aprilynne Pike's books might pick up mine and vice versa.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

I think romance is friendship ...

I think romance is friendship and attraction sort of meeting together and that does influence what I'm writing a lot. I try to establish the attraction, obviously, but I also think it's important to show the characters having actual conversations about things other than their feelings for each other - and to develop their friendship on the page.

In my own relationships, I kno...

In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life, so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn't be dating them.

Yes,' she says, her eyes bright with tears. 'My dear child, you've done so well.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

Two things you should know abo...

Two things you should know about me; The first is that I am deeply suspicious of people in general. It is my nature to expect the worst of them. And the second is that I am unexpectedly good with computers.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

It's what you deserve to hear,...

It's what you deserve to hear,' I say firmly, my eyes going cloudy with tears. 'That you're whole, that you're worth loving, that you're the best person I've ever known.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

There is a difference between ...

There is a difference between admitting and confessing. Admitting involves softening, making excuses for things that cannot be excused; confessing just names the crimes at its full severity.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

It happened. It was awful. You aren't perfect. That's all there is. Don't confuse your grief with guilt.

Change, like healing, takes time.

I understand why she did all those things, but that doesn't mean we aren't still broken.

Because even a sliver of distance between us is infuriating.

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.
