More From Veronica Roth

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

It's kind of like sentencing. a lot of people say that we have a heavy sentence for this crime and a light sentence for another crime, and what we ought to do is reduce the heavy sentence so it's more in line with the other. wrong. in most cases we ought to increase the light sentence and make it compatible with the heavy sentence, and be serious about punishment because we are becoming too tolerant as a society, folks, especially of crime, in too many parts of the country.

The first sentence of the truth is always the hardest. each of us had a first sentence, and most of us found the strength to say it out loud to someone who deserved to hear it. what we hoped, and what we found, was that the second sentence of the truth is always easier than the first, and the third sentence is even easier than that. suddenly you are speaking the truth in paragraphs, in pages. the fear, the nervousness, is still there, but it is joined by a new confidence. all along, you've used the first sentence as a lock. but now you find that it's the key.

Most people write the same sentence over and over again. the same number of words-say, 8-10, or 10-12. the same sentence structure. try to become stretchy-if you generally write 8 words, throw a 20 word sentence in there, and a few three-word shorties. if you're generally a 20 word writer, make sure you throw in some threes, fivers and sevens, just to keep the reader from going crosseyed.

A death sentence will be issued, a death sentence will be implemented. a life sentence will be issued, a life sentence will be implemented.

Certain individual words do possess more pitch, more radiance, more shazam! than others, but it's the way words are juxtaposed with other words in a phrase or sentence that can create magic. perhaps literally. the word "grammar," like its sister word "glamour," is actually derived from an old scottish word that meant "sorcery." when we were made to diagram sentences in high school, we were unwittingly being instructed in syntax sorcery, in wizardry. we were all enrolled at hogwarts. who knew?

High school for me was not all that fun. i think it's a lot more fun after when you realize that high school ends, and everything that's important at that time is sort of not important if people don't like your jeans or whatever. it doesn't matter.

It never occurred to me that i was a leading man until i was 19 years old. i had been acting since i was 10, so that's nine years and 30 or 40 plays, in school and summer stock, professional theater, too.

When we have a better, more social, more responsible, less egotistical, less corrupt system, mexico will be able to give work to the millions of mexicans who have to build our roads, dams, schools, all the things that are left undone in mexico while we have the manpower. there is something very bad going on, on both sides of the border in mexico and the us. but the worker is a worker, not a criminal. so, i am in favor of a solution such as the kennedy-mccain proposals that make it clear what steps have to be taken to accept the fact that the us needs foreign workers.
