More Quotes from Veronica Roth:
Eric called Al's suicide brave, and he was wrong. My mother's death was brave. I remember how calm she was, how determined. It isn't just brave that she died for me; it is brave that she did it without announcing it, without hesitation, and without appearing to consider another option.Veronica Roth

And it means that no matter what they do, we will always cause trouble for them.
