Males are the most incomprehensible species.
Rachel Cohn
True Love. I’m starting to suspect the concept is pure illusion, an insipid brand name manufactured by Hallmark and Disney.” — Cupcake
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
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
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.
Rachel Cohn
Once upon a time, Sleeping Beauty decided to take a nap from which she would never wake up.
Rachel Cohn
Life is funny, baby, and that's no joke
Rachel Cohn
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
Answer all the questions that I'm too afraid to ask
Rachel Cohn
So he's worth a second shot? The more apt question, my dear, is: are you?
Rachel Cohn
I am bigger than the box I'm in.
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
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
The best is when we all go at once, like an army of interrelated popcorn zombies who laugh the same laughs and gasp the same gasps and aren’t so germ-phobic with each other that we won’t share a ginormous Coke with one straw. Family is useful like that.
Rachel Cohn
This must be part of Mother Nature's master plan—making these boys so irresistibly cute, in such a naughty way, that the purity of their intentions becomes irrelevant.
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 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
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)
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'm liking that I can throw any kind of sentence at her without worrying it's too out there.
