Rachel Cohn
Do you still Kill Gerbils?
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 am a classic 'Star Trek' fanatic.
Rachel Cohn
The reward is in the risk.
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
[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.
