“Imagine a Carthage sown with salt, and all the sowers gone, and the seeds lain however long in the earth, till there rose finally in vegetable profusion leaves and trees of rime and brine. What flowering would there be in such a garden? Light would force each salt calyx to open in prisms, and to fruit heavily with bright globes of water–-peaches and grapes are little more than that, and where the world was salt there would be greater need of slaking. For need can blossom into all the compensations it requires. To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know any thing so utterly as when we lack it? And here again is a foreshadowing–-the world will be made whole. For to wish for a hand on one’s hair is all but to feel it. So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again.”

“All I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”

“Dirge Without Music"
I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains, --- but the best is lost.
The answers quick & keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,
They are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled
Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay

Just wanted to let you know, I think what you did with the ending of Allegiant was great.(view spoiler)[It is more realistic for Tris to die than to live. (hide spoiler)] It was perfect. Many people think the ending was awful, but I think it couldn't have been better.

Congratulations on winning the Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction award for Allegiant.
I finished Allegiant. I just wanted to let you know how great you ended it. It was one of those where it was just wow.
Hello Veronica. Just pre-purchased Allegiant. Can't wait until October!!
I'm super excited for both Allegiant and the Divergent movie! I can't wait!!
I just finished Insurgent! It felt like the book was actually happening to me. I felt like I was right there! The way Tris and Tobias kept breaking up and then getting back together kept me on edge the whole time. I can't wait for the next book to come out! Your my all time favorite author.
Thank you for accepting the friend request! I loved Divergent and Insurgent! I've been posting and having friends read it all the time now, and they love it! Can't wait for the next book! Thanks for an amazing series!
Thanks for accepting my friend request. It was fun to see you at Chicago's Lit Fest!
Thank you so much for accepting my friend request! Divergent is my favourite book of all time and I've read it more than six times!!
Thanks for accepting my friend request, the books that I've read of yours so far were awesome! Your a great author!
hadn't read a good book in a long time until my friend reccommended Divergant!
Thank you very much for accepting my friend request , i love your books ❀ :)
Veronica, THANK YOU SO MUCH for adding me!!! I am a HUGE fan!!! Thanks again!!!Sincerely,
Amity's newest initiate :)
By the way, as you can see, my icon is a photo of Divergent haha. Much love!
Thank you SO MUCH for accepting my friend request, you are such an inspiration! Keep writing! xx
Hi ! Thank you so Much for adding me. I love your books. They are amazing!! I cant wait for the next one!!!!! :)
Thank you for adding me! I am a budding author myself and your books (and Harry Potter and strangely a blind girl who can cook amazing food on Masterchef) give me the inspiration to keep writing!
HI, I love your books so much. You are an amazing writer!!! :)
So, we're pretty much the same age, have pretty much the same bathroom decor (minus the marshmallows), and both support TWLOHA. Y U NOT MY FRIEND IRL? Lol.
I absolutely loved divergent, I thought that the novel was exceptionally well written and everything was so vivid. It's nice to finally come across a novel with a gutsy heroine after the Hunger Games. They are so rare thesedays.
Thank you for accepting my friend request! I absolutely LOVE your books. You are such a talented author and I love the amount of emotion and feelings you put into your characters. i feel like I know and understand them. Thank you for writing such amazing books. I can't wait to read the 3rd one! :-)
Thank you for accepting my friend request. Both books are amazing can't wait to read third book of the series. Tris is amazing character and so is four.
Thank you for accepting my friend request! Still waiting for Insurgent, but I can't wait to read it.
LESS THAN A DAY! I'M SO EXCITED TO READ INSURGENT!!! AHHHHHHHH
I AM SOOO EXCITED TO READ INSURGENT!!!!!!
Hi Veronica! I was at your book signing on Friday in Houston. It was hosted by the Blue Willow Book Shop. I was the one that bowed to you. Haha. Well I am also reading the advanced copy of Insurgent and it's so good! Well Bye!
That moment when you are reduced to a squealing fit because the UPS guy just delivered your signed copy of Divergent!Thank you SOO much, Veronica Roth!!!!
P.S. I'm gonna dress up as Tris for Halloween next year. I would do it this year, but I've been planning this year's costume for 4 years, so, yeah...
Thank you for the add and what a fantastic body of work that you are building. Take care! -A. Marie
I can't wait for the release of Insurgent, and I'm looking to pre-order it now. When it's released will the green cover be available in the Uk? or will they all be purple. I've got the blue edition of Divergent and I was hoping they'd all match, I'd buy the hard cover if it was green.
Can't wait to buy Insurgent! I hope you're coming to the Pacific Northwest soon. :)
Thank-you for the friendship!Have a wonderful Day!
I'm LOVING the cocept for the Divergent series. I'm on such a high after falling in love with THG I just had to pick up your series. Can't wait for Insurgent this May. I hope I win an advanced copy! haha. BTW, thanks for making a character named Tori. I feel special :) haha. Veronica, you ROCK! <3

Thanks for accepting the friend request! Looking forward to Insurgent, my library already has an order in! Hope you have a good day. :)
Hello Veronica! I'm a huge fan of you and your book, Divergent! It is amazing! My friend and I were having a discussion about it, and when she said the name, "Tobias," I had to stop her, because of the way she pronounced it. So if you could please tell me how to pronounce it, that would be great! Thanks so much! Can't wait for Insurgent!
Thanks for accepting my request, it made my day! Re-reading Divergent for the 100th time...can't wait for Insurgent!
I'm not sure if you'll see this, or really care, BUT we have the same birthday, you were just born 2 years before me. I found this to be really exciting! Can't wait for Insurgent! =)
Thank you so, so much for accepting my request! I am an absolute fan of Divergent and I'm very much looking forward to the next books! :)
Thanks for accepting my friend request. I absolutely loved Divergent and am counting the days till Insurgent!
Thanks for being my friend. I LOVE Divergent and cannot wait to read Insurgent and anything else you write. :)
Hi Veronica,Thank you so much for accepting my friend request. I crazy loved Divergent and keep reading it over and over. I'm counting down the days until Insurgent :) I can't wait!
Hi,thanks for the add.I was late to jump on the Divergent train,but I'm so glad I did.I won't be late for Insurgent.You have written an amazing book and I sincerly thank you.
I just read Divergent...started Monday and finished Thursday...I literally couldn't put it down!! Thanks to you, though, I have no homework finished, because I kept thinking, okay, I'll stop at a boring part, and I never found one. :)
Hi Veronica,Thanks for the add. I have to say I enjoyed Divergent and can't wait for the second book.
And I'm also glad that when you said there'll be no love triangle cos then we'll be able to see and understand more of the 'World' you've created. Plus I think Tris and Four are awesome together. And looking forward to see their growth.
Cheers!
CONGRATULATIONS! You won two awards, which no other author or book has one twice! And only Divergent, it's not like you wrote multiple books, which is amazing! Congrats, you REALLY deserve it! =D
Wow congratulations Veronica! Awesome awards!
