Bruises mapped my body from bumping into tables and tripping over curbs while walking with a book in my hand, my eyes focused on the pages instead of the live space around me.

More quotes by Rachel Cohn
It's a total lie to say there's only one person you're going to be with for the rest of your life. If you're lucky - and if you try really hard - there will always be more than one.
Rachel Cohn
But I know the difference. Everyone else is a ghost. I exist here alone, stranded by choice. Deserted.
Rachel Cohn
There is no such thing as a soulmate...and who would want there to be? I don't want half of a shared soul. I want my own damn soul.
Rachel Cohn
I don’t know what boldness came over me, but the resolute heaviness of Dash’s demeanor threatened to crush my soul. My pinky finger crept over and nestled against his, for comfort. Like a magnet, his pinky finger latched onto and intertwined with mine. I like magnets a whole lot.
Rachel Cohn
I want to believe there is a somebody out there for me. I want to believe that I exist to be there for that somebody.
Rachel Cohn
[S]he leans into this guy and rocks her head like I’m making this music for her, when if I could, I would take it all away and give her as much silence as she’s given me pain.
Rachel Cohn
I love snow for the same reason I love Christmas: It brings people together while time stands still. Cozy couples lazily meandered the streets and children trudged sleds and chased snowballs. No one seemed to be in a rush to experience anything other than the glory of the day, with each other, whenever and however it happened.
Rachel Cohn
This must be part of Mother Nature's master plan—making these boys so irresistibly cute, in such a naughty way, that the purity of their intentions becomes irrelevant.
Rachel Cohn
Once upon a time, Sleeping Beauty decided to take a nap from which she would never wake up.
Rachel Cohn
They were tricky, those demons. Could they be trusted? Of course they could be trusted. She'd created them. She owned them. They wouldn't lead her astray.
Rachel Cohn
The universe doesn't decide what's right or not right. You do.
Rachel Cohn
I thought about the bigger picture of my life, and about the people—and particularly the guys—I would encounter during my lifetime. How would I ever know when that moment was right, when expectation met anticipation and formed … connection?
Rachel Cohn
Books. I'd probably spend all my time alone and lost in books if I could. It's easier that way.
Rachel Cohn
I could become a nun even if I am a non-believer. I'll learn to fake it like Nick did with me. I will minister the gospel of compassion and kindness and please, always use a condom, from famine-stricken nations to war-torn dead zones. It's possible I might become a nun who kisses other nuns.
Rachel Cohn
Dumped doesn't even begin to describe it. If you're going to use a trash metaphor, incinerated is more like it.
Rachel Cohn
You should never wish for wishful thinking.
Rachel Cohn
Better to end this dream before it becomes a nightmare.
Rachel Cohn
How come princesses always have some huge flaw that can cause their downfall?
Rachel Cohn
I was horribly bookish, to the point of coming right out and saying it, which I knew was not socially acceptable.
Rachel Cohn
People are like that, judging you before they know you.
