Any favorite quotes?

“You think my first instinct is to protect you. Because you're small, or a girl, or a Stiff. But you're wrong."
He leans his face close to mine and wraps his fingers around my chin. His hand smells like metal. When was the last time he held a gun, or a knife? My skin tingles at the point of contact, like he's transmitting electricity through his skin.
"My first instinct is to push you until you break, just to see how hard I have to press." he says, his fingers squeezing at the word break. My body tenses at the edge in his voice, so I am coiled as tight as a spring, and I forget to breathe.
His dark eyes lifting to mine, he adds, "But I resist it."
"Why..." I swallow hard. "Why is that your first instinct?"
"Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating." He releases me but doesn't pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. "Sometimes I just want to see it again. Want to see you awake.”

Oh, yeah. I liked that very long quote :)

"you know, most boys would enjoy being trapped in close quarters with a girl." I (Tris) roll my eyes.
"Not claustrophobic people, Tris!"

Love that one!

haha I laughted threw the whole wooden box scene.

"just feel how steady my heart beat is" tris
"Whys is so fast" four
"because I barely know you"
"Maybe you are cut out for candor" (four)
"Why" (tris)
"because you are a terrible liar"

"Something about him (Four) makes me feel like I am about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames."

- Tris

"I have something to tell you," he says. I run my fingers along the tendons in his hand and look back at him. "I might be in love with you." He smiles a little. "I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you though." "That's sensible of you,' I say, smiling too. "We should find some paper so you can make a list or a chart or something." I feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips pressing behind my ear.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PART

hahaha love that quote:

I also like
"Politeness is deception in pretty packaging"

"I think we cry to release the animal parts of us without losing our humanity. Because inside me js a beast that snarls, and growls, and strain toward freedom, toward Tobias, and above all toward life. And as hard as I try, I cannot kill it."
- insurgent

"'Thats why you like me!' I exclaim. 'Because you're not very nice either! It makes so much more sense now.'"
- insurgent

Love that whole part when tris is on the happy serum

"And is it selfish of me to crave victory, or is it brave?"

"What good is a prepared body if you have a scattered mind?"

"I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren't all that different."

"Trusting another person is the bravest thing you'll ever have to do."

"Be brave" :3
And also pages 476 in Divergent and Allegiant
"Can I be forgiven for all I've done to get here?
I don't know.
I don't know."
"Can I be forgiven for all I've done to get here?
I can.
I belive."
There may be a mistake, but I don't have the book :/

"I am not done. I am not done here." In allegiant when Tris is dying I thought these words were really powerful.

we believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another

"Everyone has a bit of Abnegation in them. Well, everyone BUT Peter."

Great quote!

One of the quotes I liked that I didn't see here is:

"But what..." Peter yawns though his words. "What does firing a gun have to do with... bravery?"
Four flips the gun in his hand, presses the barrel to Peter's forehead, and clicked the bullet into place. Peter freezes with his lips parted, the yawn dead in his mouth.
"Wake. Up." Four snaps. "You are holding a loaded gun, you idiot. Act like it."
He lowered the gun. Once the immediate threat is gone, Peter's green eyes hardened. I'm surprised he can stop himself from responding after speaking his mind all his life in Candor, but he does, his cheeks red.
"And to answer your question... you are far less likely to soil your pants and cry for your mother if you've prepared to defend yourself."
