I'm told there's no going back. So I'm choosing forward.
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
I feel like there's so much darkness in all of my books.
Rachel Cohn
Usually my characters, though young, tend to be street-wise.
Rachel Cohn
He's not my step brother technically, so I think it's okay that I kissed him once.
Rachel Cohn
Perhaps it's not that I'm frigid-- it's that once I decide I like a guy, I turn into a raging idiot, unfit for public appearances.
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
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.

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
Males are the most incomprehensible species.
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
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
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
We all just took the bookstore at its word, because if you couldn't trust a bookstore, what could you trust?
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
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 particularly loved the adjective bookish, which I found other people used about as often as ramrod or chum or teetotaler.
Rachel Cohn
There’s no such thing as ready,” she says. “There’s only willing.
Rachel Cohn
Do you still Kill Gerbils?
Rachel Cohn
I am stronger than words and I am bigger than the box I'm in, and then I see her in the crowd and I fall apart -I am listening and I am listening because what I'm playing isn't something I'm thinking about, it's something I'm feeling all over.
