More quotes by 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
So much is happening and yet nothing at all.
Rachel Cohn
Things change all the time, mostly in little ways.
Rachel Cohn
Well what's in your Amazonian hope chest?
Rachel Cohn
Answer all the questions that I'm too afraid to ask
Rachel Cohn
There is no such thing as a soulmate...and who would want there to be? I don't want half of a shared soul. I want my own damn soul.
Rachel Cohn
Somewhere between a friend and acquaintance—a frequaintance, as it were.
Rachel Cohn
Hope and belief. I'd always wanted hope, but never believed that I could have such an adventure on my own. That I could own it. And love it. But it happened.

When in doubt, ingest carbs.

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)

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?
Rachel Cohn
That’s what I like about sports. No matter if everyone playing the game speaks completely different languages, on the field, or the court, wherever they are playing, the language of moves and passes and scores is all the same. Universal.
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
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
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
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
How come princesses always have some huge flaw that can cause their downfall?
Rachel Cohn
I'm told there's no going back. So I'm choosing forward.
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
