I find my anger ebbing away, and I'm lost in muffled grief…

“I find my anger ebbing away, and I'm lost in muffled grief again, this time not just for Tris, but for Uriah, whose smile is burned into my memory. My friend's brother, and then my friend, too, though not for long enough to let his humor work its way into me, not for long enough.” quote by Veronica Roth
