Different directions Quote by Veronica Roth
““Every faction conditions its members to think and act a certain way. And most people do it. For most people, it's not hard to learn, to find a pattern of thought that works and stay that way... But our minds move a dozen different directions. We can't be confined to one way of thinking...””
