No--when the rain falls you just let it fall and you grin like a madman and you dance with it, because if you can make yourself happy in the rain then you're doing pretty alright in life. (Nick, page 156)

More quotes by Rachel Cohn
Once upon a time, Sleeping Beauty decided to take a nap from which she would never wake up.
Rachel Cohn
I walked inside Macy’s and faced the pathetic spectacle of a department store full of shoppers, none of whom were shopping for themselves. Without the instant gratification of a self-aimed purchase, everyone walked around in the tactical stupor of the financially obligated.
Rachel Cohn
So he's worth a second shot? The more apt question, my dear, is: are you?
Rachel Cohn
But I know the difference. Everyone else is a ghost. I exist here alone, stranded by choice. Deserted.
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
Listen to me: I never married because I was too easily bored. It's an awful, self-defeating trait to have. It's much better to be too easily interested.
Rachel Cohn
Better to end this dream before it becomes a nightmare.
Rachel Cohn
I don't see why ogling same-sex kissing should be the exclusive domain of frat boys whacking off to lesbian action, that's so sexist. Feminism should be all inclusive- it should be about sexual liberation, equal pay for equal work, and the fundamental girl right of boy2boy appreciation.
Rachel Cohn
One of the failures of cellular communication is that tiredness often comes across as sadness.
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
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
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
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
So much is happening and yet nothing at all.
Rachel Cohn
There. I've said everything I wanted to say without actually having to use the words please stay
Rachel Cohn
The complexity embedded in the different levels of meaning that go along with the words I love you ought to be a whole mindfuck of a video game
Rachel Cohn
Usually my characters, though young, tend to be street-wise.
Rachel Cohn
What's better, I wonder - to be a toy for the humans, or to control your own destiny , even if the only way to do so is suicide?
Rachel Cohn
The desert adapts. The people adapt. Live. Die. Struggle. Suffer. Create. The people in the real world beyond Demesne's ring are not all manufactured perfection. They deal.
Rachel Cohn
It's the great male fantasy-all it takes is one dance to know that she's the one. All it takes is the sound of her song from the tower, or a look at her sleeping face. And right away you know-this is the girl in your head, sleeping or dancing or singing in front of you. Yes, girls want princes, but boys want their princesses just as much.
