He already knows what I look like, Cath said. There's no point in being tricky about it now. How is doing your hair--and maybe putting on some lip gloss--being tricky? It's like I'm trying to distract him with something shiny.
Rainbow Rowell
Ah...' Park said, pained. 'What?' 'Those are alphabetized.' 'It's okay. I know the alphabet.' 'Right.' He looked embarrassed. 'Sorry.

It felt good to be writing in her own room, in her own bed. To get lost in the World of Mages and stay lost. To not hear any voices in her head but Simon's and Baz's. Not even her own. This was why Cath wrote fic. For these hours when their world supplanted the real world.
Rainbow Rowell
I'd rather be broken than wasted.
Rainbow Rowell
Well, at first, I was sure that he would feel the cosmic forces pulling us together. I wanted him so badly, I could feel my heart racing for him with every beat. It was destiny. He was a magnet and I was steel.
Rainbow Rowell
Eggnog reminds me of mucus. Me, too. But in a good way.
Rainbow Rowell
Don't bite his face, Eleanor told herself. It's disturbing and needy and never happens in situation comedies or movies that end with big kisses.
Rainbow Rowell
Or maybe, he thought now, he just didn't recognize all those other girls. The way a computer drive will spit out a disk if it doesn't recognize the formatting. When he touched Eleanor's hand, he recognized her. He knew.
Rainbow Rowell
So why aren’t you living with your sister?” “She wanted to meet new people,” Cath said. “You make it sound like she broke up with you.
Rainbow Rowell
You shouldn't reward me for endangering your life, you know. Think of the precedent you're setting.
Rainbow Rowell
But he kept finding new pockets of shallow inside himself. He kept finding new ways to betray her.
Rainbow Rowell
Until this moment, she’d kept Park in a place in her head that she thought Richie couldn't get to. Completely separate from this house and everything that happened here. (It was a pretty awesome place. Like the only part of her head fit for praying.)
Rainbow Rowell
I just want to break that song into pieces and love them all to death.
Rainbow Rowell
It's more like you meet someone, and you fall in love, and you hope that that person is the one - and then at some point, you have to put down your chips. You just have to make a commitment and hope that you're right.
Rainbow Rowell
I'm the Cool One, she told herself. Somebody give me some tequila because I'll totally drink it. And there's no way you're going to find me later having a panic attack in your parents' bathroom. Who wants to French-kiss?
Rainbow Rowell
If I had an author superpower, I would like to have the ability to stop time for everyone else. I feel like I have to disappear into myself to write books.
