More quotes by Rainbow Rowell
You’re a sad little hermit, and it creeps me out.
Rainbow Rowell
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
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
Don't make me angry-kiss you.
Rainbow Rowell
Dumb. He should have gotten the pen. Jewelry was so public... and personal, which was why he'd bought it. He couldn't buy Eleanor a pen. Or a bookmark. He didn't have bookmarklike feelings for her.
Rainbow Rowell
People tend to pair off that way, Cath thought, in matched sets.
Rainbow Rowell
He wound the scarf around his fingers until her hand was hanging in the space between them. Then he slid the silk and his fingers into her open palm. And Eleanor disintegrated.
Rainbow Rowell
Everybody drinks, she said calmly. The Only Rational One. Your sister doesn't. When rolled her eyes. Forgive me, but I'm not going to spend my college years sitting soberly in my dorm room, writing about gay magicians. Objection, Cath said, reaching for a burrito.
Rainbow Rowell
Months are different in college, especially freshman year. Too much happens. Every freshman month equals six regular months—they're like dog months.
Rainbow Rowell
The strange thing about seeing someone for first time in nine years is the way they look totally different, just for a second, a split second, and then they look at you the way they always have, as if no time has passed between you.
Rainbow Rowell
But you're so helpless sometimes. It's like watching a kitten with its head trapped in a Kleenex box.
Rainbow Rowell
There's only of him, she thought, and he's right here.
Rainbow Rowell
Even if your heart is broken and attacking you, you're still not better off without it.
Rainbow Rowell
Every woman wants a man who'll fall in love with her soul as well as her body.
Rainbow Rowell
You flirt with old people and babies and everybody in between.
Rainbow Rowell
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
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.
Rainbow Rowell
I don't want to do anything. I don't even want to start this day because then I'll just be expected to finish it.
Rainbow Rowell
It's our last chance. No. No, I can't... I, no, I need to believe that it isn't our last chance... Eleanor? Can you hear me? I need you to believe it, too.
Rainbow Rowell
You flirt with everything. She could tell that her eyes were popping-- her eyeballs actually felt cold around the edges. You flirt with old people and babies and everybody in between.
