Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I wasn’t good enough for Abnegation,” I say, “and I wanted to be free. So I chose Dauntless.” “Why weren’t you good enough?” “Because I was selfish,” I say. “You were selfish? You aren’t anymore?” “Of course I am. My mother said that everyone is selfish,” I say, “but I became less selfish in Dauntless. I discovered there were people I would fight for. Die for, even.”
I think the book shows through out the its story, that it is possible to keep one virtue and still be a immoral person. I like this passage because it show when multiple virtue are interwoven, morality become easier to find. Pg. 147
