There's nothing especially brave about wandering dark streets with no flashlight, but we are not supposed to need help, even from light. We are supposed to be capable of anything. I like that. Because there might come a day when there is no flashlight, there is no gun, there is no guiding hand. And I want to be ready.”

“I have a message for the Divergent"I am Divergent."This is not a negotiation"No, it is not."It is a warning"I understand."Every two days until one of you delivers yourself to Erudite headquarters . . ."I will." . . . this will happen again"It will never happen again.”

“I am divergent and i can't be controlled”

“From your results I have determined that you are one of the strongest Divergent, which I say not to compliment you but to explain my purpose.

“I am. selfish. I am brave. I am Divergent.”
