Rachel Cohn
It's bullshit to think of friendship and romance as being different. They're not. They're just variations of the same love. Variations of the same desire to be close.
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.
Rachel Cohn
I don't know why I'm saying any of this, except that it's the truth. -Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
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
Somewhere between a friend and acquaintance—a frequaintance, as it were.
Rachel Cohn
Well what's in your Amazonian hope chest?
Rachel Cohn
Males are the most incomprehensible species.
