Rainbow Rowell
Underneath this veneer of slightly crazy and mildly socially retarded, I'm a complete disaster.
Rainbow Rowell
I'd rather be broken than wasted.
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
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
That's the ultimate kind of broken. The kind of damage you never recover from.
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!
Rainbow Rowell
I’d know you in the dark,” he said. “From a thousand miles away. There’s nothing you could become that I haven’t already fallen in love with.
Rainbow Rowell
I love you more than I hate everything else.
Rainbow Rowell
Your trash can is full of energy bar wrappers. You were looking through my trash?
