More From Veronica Roth

For its part, government will listen. we will strive to listen in new ways - to the voices of quiet anguish, to voices that speak without words, the voices of the heart, to the injured voices, and the anxious voices, and the voices that have despaired of being heard.
Heart Government Voice
You know, my boy, he said, it's impossible to love men such as they are. and yet we must. so try to do good to men by doing violence to your feelings, holding your nose, and shutting your eyes, especially shutting your eyes. endure their villainy without anger, as much as possible; try to remember that you're a man too. for, if you're even a little above average intelligence, you'll have the propensity to judge people severely. men are vile by nature and they'd rather love out of fear. don't give in to such love: despise it always.
Love Eye Boys
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
Don't spend most of your time on the voices that don't count, voices that are going to add too little worth to your future. don't waste time on the shallow and the silly. tune those voices out and tune in voices that are going to add something to your life
Life Motivational Time
I never minded giving my opinions. they are just opinions, and i had studied music and i had strong feelings. i was happy for my opinions to join all the other opinions. but you have to be prepared for what comes back, especially if you don't agree with the dominant mythology.
Strong Others Opinions Giving
Writing is a futile attempt to preserve what disappears moment by moment. all that remains of my mother is what i remember and what i have written for and about her. eventually that is all that will remain of [my husband] and me. writing sometimes feels frivolous and sometimes sacred, but memory is one of my strongest muses. i serve her with my words. so long as people read, those we love survive however evanescently. as do we writers, saying with our life's work, remember. remember us. remember me.
