Who cares about pretty? I'm going for noticeable.

Psyche you out?" I repeat. "I'm your FRIEND. I wouldn't do that." He doesn't say anything. I can tell he doesn't believe me-not quite.

To live factionless Is not just to live in poverty and discomfort; it is to live divorced from society, separated from the most important thing in life: community. My mother once told me that we can’t survive alone,but even if we could, we wouldn’t want to. Without a faction, we have no purpose and no reason to live.

She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love, not misplace disgust for another person's genetics.

Dauntless: being brave in the midst of fear.

And he’s right to say that every faction loses something when it gains a virtue: the Dauntless, brave but cruel; the Erudite, intelligent but vain; the Amity, peaceful but passive; the Candor, honest but inconsiderate; the Abnegation, selfless but stifling.

I'm sick of doing bad things and liking it and then wondering what's wrong with me. I want it to be over. I want to start again.
