More From Veronica Roth

Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

When our embassy is attacked in benghazi by terrorists and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when russia invades ukraine and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when syria crosses the red line and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when iran launches tests of ballistic missiles and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when north korea attacks sony pictures and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. in other words, mrs. clinton, you cannot lead from behind. we must respond when we are attacked or provoked.

"adequate?" he took my hand, placed it on the part in question. it immediately began to stir. he moved my hand on it, and i obligingly circled it with my fingers. "this is adequate?" "maybe i should have said it's a gracious plenty?" "a gracious plenty. i like that," he said.

Acceptance is not a talent you either have or don't have. it's a learned response. my meditation teacher made a great point about the difference between a reaction and a response: you may not have control over your initial reaction to something, but you can decide what your response will be. you don't have to be at the mercy of your emotions, and acceptance can be your first step toward empowerment . . . for me, acceptance has been the cornerstone to my having an emotionally healthy response to my illness.

We live in a society that has no adequate images anymore, and if we do not find adequate images and an adequate language for our civilization with which to express them, we will die out like the dinosaurs.

Civilization enables us constantly to profit from knowledge which we individually do not possess and because each individual's use of his particular knowledge may serve to assist others unknown to him in achieving their ends that men as members of civilized society can pursue their individual ends so much more successfully than they could alone.
