More quotes by Rachel Cohn

In a field, I am the absence of field. In a crowd, I am the absence of crowd. In a dream, I am the absence of dream. But I don't want to live as an absence. I move to keep things whole. Because sometimes I feel drunk on positivity. Sometimes I feel amazement at the tangle of words and lives, and I want to be a part of that tangle.
Rachel Cohn
All this hoping for nothing-or someone-that's maybe hopeless
Rachel Cohn
Therefore. Ergo. Erg. Argh. Ugh.
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 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
But, you see, that's the luxury of being a lout - you get to be selective about when you care and when you don't. The rest of us get stuck when your care goes shallow.

That’s what I like about sports. No matter if everyone playing the game speaks completely different languages, on the field, or the court, wherever they are playing, the language of moves and passes and scores is all the same. Universal.

Somewhere between a friend and acquaintance—a frequaintance, as it were.
Rachel Cohn
Books. I'd probably spend all my time alone and lost in books if I could. It's easier that way.
