It's like he knows, he knows I have a thing for her.
It's easy to be brave when they're not my fears.
If Eric thinks I did something right, I must have done it wrong.
I think we've made a mistake, he says softly. We've all started to put down virtues of the other faction in the process of bolstering our own. I don't want to do that. I want to be brave, and selfless...
I feel a thread tugging me again, but this time I know that it isn’t some sinister force dragging me toward death. This time I know it’s my mother's hand, drawing me into her arms. And I go gladly int...
I don’t know what world you live in, but in mine, people only do things for you for one of two reasons. The first is if they want something in return. And the second is if they feel like they owe you...
I do know who you are. I just needed to be reminded.
I didn't realize until that moment that Dauntless initiation had taught me an important lesson: how to keep going.
I can't tell him I need him. I can't need him, period -- or really, we can't need each other, because who knows how long either of us will last in this war?
I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave.I suppose that now, I must become more than either.

Got that gun? Peter says to Tobias. No, says Tobias, I figured I would shoot the bullets out of my nostrils, so I left it upstairs.
But please, when you see an opportunity… He presses his hand to my cheek, cold and strong, and tilts my head up so I have to look at him. His eyes glint. They almost look predatory. Ruin them.
A sob racks my body again, and he wraps his arms around me so tightly I find it difficult to breathe, but it doesn't matter. My dignified weeping gives way to full-on ugliness, my mouth open and my fa...
You want him to walk? Caleb demands. Are you insane?Did I shoot him in the leg? I say. No. He walks. Where do we go, Peter?
You know what Abnegation used to say about pride?' 'Something unfavorable,I assume.' I laugh.' Obviously. They said it blinds people to the truth of what they are.
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.
Why are you constantly escorting me places? I say. Isn’t there a depraved activity you’re supposed to be taking part in? Kicking puppies or spying on girls while they change, or something?
