Check out my favorite Veronica Roth quotes from the Divergent Trilogy: Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant, Four: A Divergent Collection. This weekend I had the chance to watch the first movie from the Divergent Series. I enjoyed the sci-fi romance adventure plot due to the chemistry between the two main characters, Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James). Plus, I loved the complicated scenario that narrates the story in different levels and fields, like science, psychology, sociology, politics, action, romance, and family relationships, while trying to interpret human nature and behavior.

My favorite Veronica Roth quotes
The books are usually better than the movies based on novels. I don’t know why exactly this happens. Maybe because the book can light and explain every aspect. Maybe our fantasy is always better or for many other reasons. So, let’s dive into the inspirational quotes of Veronica Roth.
The power of memories
“Take a person’s memories, and you change who they are.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant
“Forgiveness is just the continual pushing aside of bitter memories, until time dulls the hurt and the anger, and the wrong is forgotten.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant
Choices
“One choice can transform you.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
Dreams
“But then I stopped allowing myself to dream because it was more painful to long for things and never get them than to deal with whatever was in front of me.”
― Veronica Roth, Four: A Divergent Collection
The power of love
“I know, without being told, that’s what love does, when it’s right—it makes you more than you were, more than you thought you could be. This is right.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant
“I used to think that when people fell in love, they just landed where they landed, and they had no choice in the matter afterward. And maybe that’s true of beginnings, but it’s not true of this, now. 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.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant
“Life damages us, everyone. We can’t escape that damage. But we can be mended. We mend each other.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant
Secrets
“People I have discovered are layers of secrets. You think you know them, you think you understand them. But their motives are always hidden and buried down deep in their hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
Be just one thing
“I don’t want to be just one thing. I can’t be. I want to be brave, and I want to be selfless, intelligent, honest, and kind. Well, I’m still working on the kind.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
“No matter how smart, people usually see what they’re already looking for.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant
Losing ourself
“She is well-practiced in the art of losing herself. I can’t say the same of myself.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
Controlling our fear
“Becoming fearless isn’t the point. That’s impossible. It’s learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
War inside
“We both have war inside us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroy us.”
― Veronica Roth, Insurgent
