"He is beautiful."

"Some traditions are brutal."

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

"We are not broken, just different."

"I want to be brave, and selfless, and smart, and kind, and honest."

"I have never felt so alive as I do now."

"I wonder if that's what scares me most: that no one really knows me at all."

"I used to think that when people fell in love, they just stared at each other all day."

"Sometimes there's a risk we must take not because we have nothing to lose, but because we have everything to gain."

"He nods once, and I can see the moment he decides to trust me."

"I could have chosen well. Instead I chose him."

"Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up."

"I am the kind of person who can't keep anything in."

"In my world, honest people are the most hated of all."

"I am not naturally courageous. I am naturally ruthless."

"What is the purpose of peace if we aren't together?"

"The simulation is a place where you can look at her and understand her."

"I belong to Dauntless."

"I want to explore every corner of this place, know every shadow."

"There are so many walls we build for so many reasons."

"I am tired of pretending to be my mother."

"Maybe the truth is harder to believe."

"I would rather attempt something that fails than attempt nothing and succeed."
