She didn't know there were things worse than selfish.
Rainbow Rowell
I tend to write about my anxieties - it's what I'm afraid will happen. And I write a story working it out.
Rainbow Rowell
She didn't have words for what Levi was. He was a cave painting. He was The Red Ballon. She lifted her heels and pulled him forward until his face was so close, she could look at only one of his eyes at a time. You're magic, she said.

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
It was like their lives were overlapping lines, like they had their own gravity. Usually, that serendipity thing felt like the nicest thing the universe had ever done for her.
Rainbow Rowell
I know that people change. I thought... I thought we're going to change together. I thought that's what it meant to be in love.

Nothing before you counts, he said. And I can't even imagine an after. She shook her head. Don't. What? Don't talk about after. I just meant that... I want to be the last person who ever kisses you, too.... That sounds bad, like a death threat or something. What I'm trying to say is, you're it. This is it for me.
Rainbow Rowell
Maybe Park had paralyzed her with his ninja magic, his Vulcan handhold, and now he was going to eat her. That would be awesome.
Rainbow Rowell
Your trash can is full of energy bar wrappers. You were looking through my trash?
Rainbow Rowell
Eggnog reminds me of mucus. Me, too. But in a good way.
Rainbow Rowell
For the first time in weeks, Park didn't have that anxious feeling in his stomach on the way home from school, like he had to soak up enough Eleanor to keep him until the next day.
Rainbow Rowell
Maybe he was Filipino. Was that in Asia? Probably. Asia's out-of-control huge.
Rainbow Rowell
She carried herself like she was exactly the size everyone else wanted to be.
Rainbow Rowell
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
When you're a woman, you have to work harder to get a laugh... I follow so many hilarious women on Twitter. It's a daily reminder that women get to be funny.
Rainbow Rowell
He didn't take her breath away. Maybe the opposite. But that was okay-that was really good, actually, to be near someone who filled your lungs with air.
Rainbow Rowell
I love you more than I hate everything else.
Rainbow Rowell
You’re a sad little hermit, and it creeps me out.
Rainbow Rowell
You know, he said, I keep wanting to say that it's like Simon Snow threw up in here... but it's more like someone else ate Simon Snow—like somebody went to an all-you-care-to-eat Simon Snow buffet—and then threw up in here.
