    Veronica Roth
    “What did you do?” I mumble. He is just a few feet away from me now, but not close enough to hear me. As he passes me he stretches out his hand. He wraps it around my palm and squeezes. Squeezes, then lets go. His eyes are bloodshot; he is pale. “What did you do?” This time the question tears from my throat like a growl. I throw myself toward him, struggling against Peter’s grip, though his hands chafe. “What did you do?” I scream. “You die, I die too” Tobias looks over his shoulder at me. “I asked you not to do this. You made your decision. These are the repercussions.”
    Veronica Roth

    Veronica Roth
    “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?'

    Veronica Roth
    “We're sorry for frightening you, Tris,' another voice says, 'but anonymity is integral to our operation. We mean you no harm.'
    'Let go of me then!' I say, almost growling. All the hands holding me on the wall fall away.
    'Who are you?' I demand.
    'We are the Alliegiant,' the voice replies. 'And we are many, yet we are no one....'
    I can't help it: I laugh.”
    Veronica Roth, Allegiant

  • #18
    Veronica Roth
    “Maybe Dauntless was formed with good intentions, with the right ideals and the right goals. But it has strayed far from them. And the same is true of Erudite, I realize. A long time ago, Erudite pursued knowledge and ingenuity for the sake of doing good. Now they pursue knowledge and ingenuity with greedy hearts. I wonder if the other fractions suffer from the same problem”
    Veronica Roth, Divergent

    “Hope.

    Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me

    I kiss my way across the words.
    Kissing away the devils.
    Kissing away the pain.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

    “Are you out of your goddamn mind? You think we can take on two hundred soldiers? I know I am an extremely attractive man, J, but I am not Bruce Lee.”
    “Who’s Bruce Lee?”
    “Who’s Bruce Lee?” Kenji asks, horrified. “Oh my God. We can’t even be friends anymore.”
    “Why? Was he a friend of yours?”
    “You know what,” he says, “just stop. Just—I can’t even talk to you right now.”

    I want you to make a list of all your favorite things, and I want to be on it.

    “For so many years I lived in constant terror of myself. Doubt had married my fear and moved into my mind, where it built castles and ruled kingdoms and reigned over me, bowing my will to its whispers until I was little more than an acquiescing peon, too terrified to disobey, too terrified to disagree. I had been shackled, a prisoner in my own mind.

    But finally, finally, I have learned to break free.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

    “Have you ever been in love?" I ask, turning on my side to look at him. He stares up at the sky. Blinks a few times.
    "Nope."
    I roll back, disappointed.
    "Oh."
    "This is so depressing." Kenji says.
    "Yeah"
    "We suck."
    "Yeah.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

    “So that's it?" Kenji says. "You just like him for his personality, huh?"

    "What?"

    "All of this," Kenji says, waving a hand in the air, "has nothing to do with him being all sexy and shit and him being able to touch you all the time?"

    "You think Warner is sexy?"

    "That is not what I said.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me
