More quotes by Rainbow Rowell
Holding Eleanor’s hand was like holding a butterfly. Or a heartbeat. Like holding something complete, and completely alive. As soon as he touched her, he wondered how he’d gone this long without doing it. He rubbed his thumb through her palm and up her fingers, and was aware of her every breath.

What if I promise not to touch you? Cath laughed. Now I have zero incentive to come. What if I promise to let you touch me first? Are you kidding? I'm the untrustworthy person in this relationship. I'm all hands. I've seen no evidence of that, Cath. In my head, I'm all hands. I want to live in your head.

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.

She’d majored in English, hoping that meant she could spend the next four years reading and writing. And maybe the next four years after that.
Rainbow Rowell
I might not use capital letters. But I would definitely use an apostrophe…and probably a period. I’m a huge fan of punctuation.
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.
Rainbow Rowell
She didn't know there were things worse than selfish.
Rainbow Rowell
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
I just had this feeling about you, she said. Is that foolish? I hope not.
Rainbow Rowell
He always kept me just on the edge of crazy. Feeling like I wanted him too much, which just made me want him more. That sounds excruciating.

Every woman wants a man who'll fall in love with her soul as well as her body.
Rainbow Rowell
People tend to pair off that way, Cath thought, in matched sets.

She was tired of being the one who cried.
Rainbow Rowell
You can’t take back texts. If you come off all moody and melancholy in a text, it just sits there in your phone, reminding you of what a drag you are.
