We all just took the bookstore at its word, because if you couldn't trust a bookstore, what could you trust?

More quotes by 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
The universe doesn't decide what's right or not right. You do.
Rachel Cohn
Dumped doesn't even begin to describe it. If you're going to use a trash metaphor, incinerated is more like it.
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
Life is funny, baby, and that's no joke
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.
Rachel Cohn
They were tricky, those demons. Could they be trusted? Of course they could be trusted. She'd created them. She owned them. They wouldn't lead her astray.
Rachel Cohn
Answer all the questions that I'm too afraid to ask
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 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 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
Therefore. Ergo. Erg. Argh. Ugh.
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.
Rachel Cohn
There are just lots of possibilities in the world...I need to keep my mind open for what could happen and not decide that the world is hopeless if what I want to happen doesn't happen. Because something else great might happen in between.
Rachel Cohn
But I know the difference. Everyone else is a ghost. I exist here alone, stranded by choice. Deserted.
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.
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
All this hoping for nothing-or someone-that's maybe hopeless
Rachel Cohn
Books. I'd probably spend all my time alone and lost in books if I could. It's easier that way.
Rachel Cohn
But she's not, and I am left to wonder on my own: How does this work, the getting to know a new guy without revealing too much desperation for his undivided attention?
