But I would say it had to be a very very strong quote, and only a one liner. Not like an actual passage from the book. Something like “I am Dauntless, I am brave.” Could work, but I wouldn’t recommend a large piece of writing.

Hmm, well personally I would be more likely to cut out the antagonist over a villain, If I had to choose just one. I think villains bring the strong, evil force that drives plots forward.
