Quotes

Insurgent

Jack Kang: If you suspected that Jeanine had corrupted Dauntless, why didn't you just leave? Why did you stay?
Four: I wanted to leave. But I fell in love with Tris Prior. And I couldn't leave her.

Tris: I can't let anyone else die because of me.
Four: No one else is gonna die because of you. Tori's gonna find a way to disable the disks...
Tris: And if she doesn't?
Four: Then, then... Then if she doesn't, we figure it out. Together.
Tris: You know I'm just one person. I'm not worth it.
Four: No, you are worth it. You are worth it to me. I love you.

Peter: Hey, Tris, I really like your hair, by the way. Did you try to cut it all short and weird like that?

Peter: [to Tris] Well, that just goes to show that you can take the girl outta Abnegation, but you can't take the Abnegation out of the girl. Let's go. Once a stiff, always a stiff, right?

Uriah: Where's your scary boyfriend?
Tris: Probably off doing scary boyfriend things.
Uriah: Mind if I join you? I love heights. From up here, it all just seems so much smaller, you know. I know it sounds crazy, but... sometimes I think I see lights out beyond the wall. I know they say it's all just wasteland out there, but... We can't be the only ones left. Can we?

Evelyn: We're on the same side, Tris. I'm Factionless because I don't fit into any one faction. And you're Divergent because you belong to too many. But we're both a threat to Jeanine. My people are ready for war, if that's what it takes.

Tris: Our parents would be ashamed of you.
Caleb: Well, maybe not. I mean, I am willing to sacrifice you, the only family I have left, the only person I love, in order to preserve what's best for everyone else. What's more selfless than that?

Tris: I miss you so much.
Natalie: I know you do. But I'm still with you. You need to be strong now. Tell me you're gonna be strong.
Tris: I'm trying.
Natalie: You can do this. I know you can. You're brave. Braver than anyone.
Tris: I'm not brave, Mom. I pretend that I am. And I want people to think that I am. But I'm not. I'm really, really scared. That maybe we are actually what's wrong in this world. Divergents. I never wanted any of this. You and Dad and Caleb and then Four. And I can't help but think that if I was normal... we would all still be together. Mom, I don't wanna be Divergent anymore. I just wanna feel safe again.

Peter: [to Jeanine] I may be Dauntless, but I'm not just a meathead. No offense, Max.

Jeanine: Remarkable. Chances of it being you, of all people. Nearly defies the laws of probability.
Tris: As remarkable as the amount of people you've managed to murder.
Jeanine: Dark times call for extreme measures. You may find it hard to believe, but I am serving the greater good.

Tris: I really don't know how much longer I can do this whole peace and love thing.
Four: It's the Amity way, all right? We're just tring to blend in.

Jeanine: We are all that is left of humanity. The vast wall that encloses this city may protect us from our toxic surroundings, but it is up to us to confront any element that could poison us from within. Because, when you are civilizations last hope, peace is not merely an ideal. It is an obligation. And it is up to all of us to take a stand against its one true enemy, Divergents.

Evelyn: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. I always loved watching him sleep. I take it you're setting out to Candor in the morning?
Tris: Yeah.
Evelyn: Listen, I only want what's best for him.
Tris: You hardly even know him.
Evelyn: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? But deep down, I think you're scared I know him all too well.
Tris: I'm not scared.
Evelyn: Of course you are. You're scared he'll finally see you for what you really are. Deadly. You don't believe me? Ask him.

Eric: You think she's safe now? You're wrong.
Eric: [to Tris] Jeanine's never gonna stop searching for you.
Four: Why? What does she want with her? Tell me.
Eric: Look, all I know is she's exactly what Jeanine needs. She's the perfect subject.
[Four cocks his gun]
Eric: Was that supposed to scare me?
Four: You're responsible for the death of hundreds of people. You know the punishment for that.
Eric: Listen... I've found a way to live with the blood on my hands. But can you?

Eric: [to Tris] If you think you got lucky, you're wrong. You're gonna wish I killed you.

Four: I know you think Caleb is your responsibility, but he made his own choice. You can't protect everyone.
Tris: I can't protect anyone.
Four: Nobody can. Him leaving isn't your fault. None of this is your fault. Johanna was right. You have to forgive yourself.
Tris: Thank you.

Tris: 'Cause that's what happens... to people when they get close to me... They get hurt or they die... I can't forgive myself.

[first lines]
Jeanine: Peace. Long ago, before the Founders established this great city of ours, that word was all but meaningless. An ideal as elusive as a dream. Now, 200 years later, we are, all of us, living proof that peace is indeed attainable. The reason for this is, of course, our Faction System. Erudite, Dauntless, Amity, Candor, Abnegation. In dividing people according to personality and aptitude, we've created a society in which each faction plays a critical role in maintaining the social order. But this harmony we achieved is now under attack from a small but extremely dangerous group of individuals. We call them Divergents. They are, in essence, the worst of what humanity used to be. Rebellious, defiant, and uncontrollable.

Jack Kang: I wish I could do more. I had no idea Jeanine was capable of something like this.
Four: It's time we fight back.
Tori: We don't have the numbers.
Four: We will. Once we get to the Factionless.

Tris: What does Jeanine think is in that box, Caleb?
Caleb: It's a message from the Founders. But the box was to be opened only if the Faction System broke down, which is why it requires someone like you to open it. You are living proof that the Divergent problem has grown beyound all control.
