Divergent

I've been reading the Divergent series of books these past few days. Yes they're  probably written for teenage girls, and probably have major elements lifted from others, but it's a nice story, and I'd recommend reading it. There are a few things in there I'll probably write about in a while. But, In the meantime I found a nice excerpt from the end of the third book Allegiant, that I felt was worth sharing:

“There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.

But sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.

That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”
