Veronica Roth, Allegiant

"I didn't know that idiocy caused people to just start spontaneously bleeding from the nose."

"We are not people who touch each other carelessly; every point of contact between us feels important, a rush of energy and relief."

"But when I do feel all the strength go out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then, or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more."

"You don’t believe things because they make your life better, you believe them because they’re true."

"Knowledge is power. Power to do evil...or power to do good. Power itself is not evil. So knowledge itself is not evil."

"I fell in love with him. But I don't just stay with him by default as if there's no one else available to me. I stay with him because I choose to, every day that I wake up, every day that we fight or lie to each other or disappoint each other. I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me."

"I keep finding myself stifled by the company of others and then crippled by loneliness when I leave them. I am terrified and I don't even know of what, because I have lost everything already."

"I think you're still the only person sharp enough to sharpen someone like me."

"I wonder if fears ever really go away, or if they just lose their power over us."

"I belong to the people I love, and they belong to me--they, and the love and loyaty I give them, form my identity far more than any word or group ever could."

"I love you"I say."I love you, too"he says. "I'll see you soon."

"The person you became with her is worth being."

"Yeah, sometimes life really sucks,"she says. "But you know what I'm holding on for?"I raise my eyebrows.She raises hers, too, mimicking me."The moments that don't suck,"she says. "The trick is to notice them when they come around."

"I feel like myself, strong and weak at once - allowed, at least for a little while, to be both."

"I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last."
