More quotes by Rainbow Rowell

Rainbow Rowell
She didn't want to run, period. It made her breasts feel like they were going to detach from her body.

So...I'm larking through the Baby Gap, looking at tiny capri pants and sweaters that cost more than ... I don't know,more than they should. And I get totally sucked in by this ridiculous, tiny fur coat. The kind of coat a baby might need to go to the ballet. In Moscow. In 1918. To match her tiny pearls.
Rainbow Rowell
You’re a sad little hermit, and it creeps me out.
Rainbow Rowell
It's so easy for someone else to say, 'Don't worry. Everything's going to be all right.' Why not say it? It doesn't cost anything. It doesn't mean anything. No one will hold you to it if you're wrong.
Rainbow Rowell
As I moved to less and less diverse places in my life, I realized that white people dont talk about race amongst themselves!

And because I’m so out of control, I can’t help myself. I’m not even mine anymore, I’m yours, and what if you decide that you don’t want me? How could you want me like I want you?
Rainbow Rowell
Even if your heart is broken and attacking you, you're still not better off without it.

Cath wanted to go back and rewrite every scene she'd ever written about Baz or Simon's chests. She'd written them flat and sharp and hard. Levi was all soft motion and breath, curves and warm hollows. Levi's chest was a living thing.
