Quote by Veronica Roth

“You think my first instinct is to protect you because you are small or a girl or a stiff, but you are wrong. My first instinct is to push you until you break, just to see how hard I have to press... but I resist it, because fear doesn't shut you down, it wakes you up. I've seen it... it's fascinating.”
