Dauntless,' he says. 'I was born for Abnegation. I was planning on leaving Dauntless, and becoming factionless.

Veronica RothI shield my eyes from the sun to see her cold lookโthe expression I saw in my mind even before I looked at her. She looks older to me than she ever has, stern and tough and worn by time. I feel that way, too. โThese people have no regard for human life,โ she says. โTheyโre about to wipe the memories of all our friends and neighbors.

Veronica RothI see love developing from friendship. Common ground is a strong basis for friendship. My husband is my best friend and we have a lot in common even though we're admittedly different people. I think it evolves from how I see relationships working.
