Quote by Veronica Roth

Color fills her cheeks, and I think it again: that Johanna Reyes might still be beautiful. Except now I think that she isn't just beautiful in spite of the scar, she's somehow beautiful with it, like Lynn with her buzzed hair, like Tobias with the memories of his father's cruelty that he wears like armor, like my mother in her plain gray clothing.

It is certainly true that reason is the most important and the highest rank among all things and, in comparison with other things of this life, the best and something divine.
