Though I know that he had something to do with the attack simulation, and with all those deaths, I find it difficult to pair those actions with the man I see in front of me. I wonder if this is how it is with all evil men, that to someone, they look just like good men, talk like good men, are just as likeable as good men.
Veronica RothI was so afraid that we would just keep colliding over and over again if we stayed together, and that eventually the impact would break me. But now I know I am like the blade and he is like the whetstone- I am too strong to break so easily, and I become better, sharper, every time I touch him.
Veronica RothI ignore my fear,โ he says. โWhen I make decisions, I pretend it doesnโt exist.โ I stare at him for a second. I canโt help it. To me thereโs a difference between not being afraid and acting in spite of fear, as he does.
