I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last... - Veronica Roth, Allegiant

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

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

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

"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."

"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."
