How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"The last time I trusted a faction representative with this information, all my friends were murdered." (3.19)
In the world of Divergent, loyalty to a faction can mean the difference between life and death. Almost all of the book's major decisions depend on a person deciding whether to be loyal to their leader or to go instead with what they themselves believe in.
Quote #2
"In order to have peace, we must first have trust." (3.21)
This line by Johanna is true, but nobody will listen to it. By the end of the novel, the whole faction system is in jeopardy. There's no peace, and no one trusts anyone.
Quote #3
"Dauntless is split in half," Edward says, talking around the food in his mouth. "Half at Erudite headquarters, half at Candor headquarters." (8.37)
Ignoring Edward's poor dinner etiquette, it's apparent early on that the line is being drawn. Who are the Dauntless loyal to? To Erudite or Candor? Why aren't they just loyal to themselves?
