Hello, dearies! 💖
The first time I read Insurgent, it was during the rush of dystopia and just after reading Divergent (or close), and they both made me realise how much I liked Dystopia.
I discovered that this world in the future where everything went to hell was fascinating.
And I was into it all, continuing the story of Four. I mean Tris, Four and everyone, realising how it was not all how they thought it was for years.
I devoured the book to be honest. Both of them, and couldn’t wait for Allegiant… but then Allegiant happened. I won’t speak of it today though.
Instead, I’ll leave you with some quotes for Insurgent here because that’s a great thing it has going for it as well, Veronica Roth can write. She’s one of my role models.
As this is a flashback, I will just do what I want. The first review for the Divergent series is here, you can read my initial thoughts on it.
Insurgent Quotes
- “People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.”
- “Cruelty does not make a person dishonest, the same way bravery does not make a person kind.”
- “Sleep,” he says. “I’ll fight the bad dreams off if they come to get you.” “With what?” “My bare hands, obviously.”
- “I love you,” I say.
I said that once, before I went to Erudite headquarters, but he was asleep then. I don’t know why I didn’t say it when he could hear it. Maybe I was afraid to trust him with something so personal as my devotion. Or afraid that I did not know what it was to love someone. - “Sometimes,” he says, sliding his arm across my shoulders, “people just want to be happy, even if it’s not real.”
- “Killing you is not the worst thing they can do to you,” I say. “Controlling you is.”
Alright, alright, I’ll stop. 😄
Thank you for stopping by to read this down-memory-lane sort of post about Insurgent.
