She walks away, and I am too ...

She walks away, and I am too stunned to follow her. At the end of the hallways she turns and says, "Have a piece of cake for me, all right? The chocolate. It's delicious." She smiles a strange, twisted smile, and adds," I love you, you know." And then she's gone. I stand alone in the blue light coming from the lamp above me, and I understand: She has been to the compound before. She remembered this hallways. She knows about the initiation process. My mother was a dauntless.

I would rather be dead than empty

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

He slides his hand over my cheek, one finger anchored behind my ear. Then he tilts his head down and kisses me, sending a warm ache through my body. I wrap my hands around his arm, holding him there as long as I can. When he touches me, the hollowed-out feeling in my chest and stomach is not as noticeable.

Awkwardness aside, it's nice to be liked.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

That quality frightens me now...

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?

Sometimes I feel like there is so much to be afraid of, and sometimes I feel like there is nothing left to fear.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

I will be my undoing, If I be...

I will be my undoing, If I become my obsession. I will forget the ones I love, If I do not serve them. I will war with others, If I refuse to see them. Therefore, I choose to turn away From my reflection, To rely not on myself But on my brothers and sisters, To project always outward Until I disappear [And only God remains.]

I would be shocked by the lack of security if we were not at Amity headquarters. They often straddle the line between trust and stupidity.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

He is not sweet or gentle or ...

He is not sweet or gentle or particularly kind. But he is smart and brave, and even though he saved me, he treated me like I was strong. That is all I need to know.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

I kiss him as the train slide...

I kiss him as the train slides into unlit, uncertain land. I kiss him for as long as I want, for longer than I should, given that my brother sits three feet away from me.

Then Drew shuffles into the d...

Then Drew shuffles into the dining hall. I drop my toast, and my mouth drifts open. Calling him “bruised” would be an understatement. His face is swollen and purple. He has a split lip and a cut running through his eyebrow. He keeps his eyes down on the way to his table, not even lifting them to look at me. I glance across the room at Four. He wears the satisfied smile I wish I had on.

I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren't all that different. All your life you've been training to forget yourself, so when you're in danger, it becomes your first instinct

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

Courageous? Courageous would ...

Courageous? Courageous would have been admitting weakness and leaving Dauntless, no matter what shame accompanied it. Pride is what killed Al, and it is the flaw in every Dauntless heart. It is in mine.

Because life is not fair, Albert. And the world is conspiring against you.

I note how calm she looks and how focused she is. She is well-practiced in the art of losing herself. I can't say the same of myself.

Veronica Roth 757 quotes

I do like to hit people-I like the explosion of power and energy, and the feeling that I am untouchable because I can hurt people. But I hate that part of myself, because it is the part of me that is the most broken

Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

And I'm the kind of person who does not let inconsequential things like boys and near death experiences stop her.

I feel myself acting like a lunatic, but I can't stop. It would be like refusing to breathe.
