“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

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.
You are amazing! I cannot stop thinking about Tris and Four! I am almost done with Insurgent. Haha the only reason its taking me so long is because I have finals next week and its breaking my heart that I can't finish the book in one sitting. I am so tempted to just care less about the finals and gulp the whole book in one sitting. I swear after finals I am going to reread it in one sitting to get the ultimate satisfaction :D
Thank you for accepting my friend request! Still waiting for Insurgent, but I can't wait to read it.
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...
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.
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
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! i love you! i cried i was so happy!!!!!!! I LOVE you!! p.s. this is now jamie
okay hi i dont know who you are but becca is telling me now all about you... divergent seems like an awesome book... well i will read it some day.... okay bye bye...
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! Thanks for the add. I love your blog posts and your book. Because of Divergent, I learned to appreciate the dystopian/futuristic/post-apocalyptic/science fiction genre. I'm looking forward to reading Insurgent and more of your books. Good luck with your future endeavors! :D
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
I'm fully reading your book now and I love it thus far. I read excerpts before and found them really good. Also congratulations on winning 2011 Favorite Book of the Year. Also, love your new haircut shown in your vid...well it looks new to me compared to your profile pic. (Insert Smiley Face HERE!)
I don't know whether to vote [Book:Divergent] or [Book:Son of Neptune] as my favourite book of 2011.WHY DOES GOODREADS PUT ME IN SUCH AWKWARD POSITIONS?
edit:
I voted Divergent in the end because I thought Veronica would appreciate it more :)))
I LOVED the book divergent!!!! its now one of my favorite books, i mean it it was reallllly good and I'm reallllly looking forward for the next book Intsergent!
Hi Veronica. Thanks for accepting my invite. :) I really love your book. Is it true that the third book will be called DETERGENT? Kidding. :D
Hi Veronica!Thank you for the add! I've read the first 100 pages on Divergent and I cannot wait for it to be published in Poland.
Kisses and hugs!
Than you for accepting my friend request! I love Divergent. Read it twice! Can't wait for Insurgent!!
Thanks so much for accepting my friend request, Veronica! You are such an amazing writer! I fell completely head over heels for Divergent and I can't wait for Insurgent to come out! Keep up the great work! :)
