More From Veronica Roth

I traded cowardice for cruelty; i traded weakness for ferocity.
Weakness Cowardice Cruelty
Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.
Courage Hate Spring
Cruelty, very far from being a vice, is the first sentiment nature injects in us all. the infant breaks his toy, bites his nurse's breast, strangles his canary long before he is able to reason; cruelty is stamped in animals, in whom, as i think i have said, nature's laws are more emphatically to be read than in ourselves; cruelty exists amongst savages, so much nearer to nature than civilized men are; absurd then to maintain cruelty is a consequence of depravity. . . . cruelty is simply the energy in a man civilization has not yet altogether corrupted: therefore it is a virtue, not a vice.
Men Thinking Animal
We should not be discouraged or depressed by our shortcomings. no one is without weakness. as part of the divine plan, we are tested to see whether we master weakness or let weakness master us. proper diagnosis is essential to proper treatment. the lord gave us this remarkable assurance: "because thou hast seen thy weakness thou shalt be made strong" (ether 12:37). but wishing for strength won't make us strong. it takes faith and work to shore up a weakened cord of integrity.
Strong Integrity Wish
On a movie, it's always better to stay invisible as much as you can to keep things calm. i like to whisper to my cameraman, i like to whisper to my actors, and whoever else i've gotten to whisper to.
Calm Invisible
But if the strength ain't real, i recall thinking the very last thing that day, before i finally passed out, then the weakness sure enough is. weakness is true and real. i used to accuse the kid of faking his weakness. but faking proves the weakness is real. or you wouldn't be so weak as to fake it. no, you can't ever fake being weak. you can only fake being strong. . .

Strong Motivation Important
A kernel of truth lurks at the heart of religion, because spiritual experience, ethical behavior, and strong communities are essential for human happiness. and yet our religious traditions are intellectually defunct and politically ruinous. while spiritual experience is clearly a natural propensity of the human mind, we need not believe anything on insufficient evidence to actualize it.
Spiritual Religious Strong
When you're talking about the thing that is most important to someone, they're liable to feel something strong.
