That's the ultimate kind of broken. The kind of damage you never recover from.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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
All of her bones seemed more purposeful than other people’s. Like they weren’t just there to hold her up, they were there to make a point.
Rainbow Rowell
Cath wished she didn't use the word just so much. It was her passive-aggressive tell, like someone who twitched when they were lying.
Rainbow Rowell
I've never loved the name Rainbow - it seems like a name you'd give to your stuffed unicorn - but I really like having an unusual name. It stands out. And it made me feel like it was okay to stand out. To be different.
Rainbow Rowell
Things get better--hurt less--over time. If you let them.
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
Maybe we should go on lots of double dates,” Cath said, “and then we can get married on the same day in a double ceremony, in matching dresses, and the four of us will light the unity candle all at the same time.” “Pfft,” Levi said, “I’m picking out my own dress.

She was tired of being the one who cried.

You flirt with old people and babies and everybody in between.
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
I don't have to forgive you, Cath said. It's not like that with you. You're just in with me. Always. No matter what happens.
Rainbow Rowell
Are you on drugs? No. Maybe you should be.
