    Veronica Roth
    “I’ll be your family now,” he says.
    “I love you,” I say.
    I said that once, before I went to Erudite headquarters, but he was asleep then. I don’t know why I didn’t say it when he could hear it. Maybe I was afraid to trust him with something so personal as my devotion. Or afraid that I did not know what it was to love someone. But now I think the scary thing was not saying it before it was almost too late. Not saying it before it was almost too late for me.
    I am his, and he is mine, and it has been that way all along.
    He stares at me. I wait with my hands clutching his arms for stability as he considers his response.
    He frowns at me. “Say it again.”
    “Tobias,” I say, “I love you.”
    His skin is slippery with water and he smells like sweat and my shirt sticks to his arms when he slides them around me. He presses his face to my neck and kisses me right above the collarbone, kisses my cheek, kisses my lips.
    “I love you, too,” he says.”
    Veronica Roth, Insurgent

    Veronica Roth
    “I read somewhere, one, that crying defies scientific explanation. Tears are only meant to lubricate the eyes. There is no real reason for tear glands to overproduce tears at the behest of emotion.
    I think we cry to release the animal parts of us without losing our humanity. Because inside of me is a beast that snarls, and growls, and strains toward freedom, toward Tobias, and, above all, towards life. And as hard as I try, I cannot kill it.”
    Veronica Roth, Insurgent

  • #28
    Veronica Roth
    “I pout my lower lip for a second, but then I grin as the pieces come together.
    "That's why you like me!" I exclaim. "Because you're not very nice either! It makes so much more sense now.”
    Veronica Roth, Insurgent

  • #29
    Veronica Roth
    “May the peace of God be with you,” she says, her voice low, “even in the midst of trouble.”
    “Why would it?” I say softly, so no one else can hear. “After all I’ve done...”
    “It isn’t about you,” she says. “It is a gift. You cannot earn it, or it ceases to be a gift.”
    Veronica Roth, Insurgent

    Veronica Roth
    “I’m not important. Everyone will do just fine without me,” I say.

    Veronica Roth
    “I have done bad things. I can't take them back, and they are part of who I am. Most of the time, they seem like the only thing I am.”
