“I guess love's kind of like a marshmallow in a microwave on high. After it explodes it's still a marshmallow. but, you know, now it's a complicated marshmallow.”

“We are the books we read and the things we love.” ― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue
“I liked that he had hair that was growing without a plan. A grin that came out of nowhere and left the same way.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“Every time he looked at me I felt like I'd touched my tongue to the tip of a battery. In art class I'd watch him lean back and listen and I was nothing but zing and tingle. After a while, the tingle turned to electricity, and when he asked me out my whole body amped to a level where technically I should have been dead. I had nothing in common with a sheddy like him, but a girl doesn't think straight when she's that close to electrocution.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“It's harder to make someone laugh than it is to make them cry.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“RememberLove doesn't make the world go roundSex makes it spin for a second or twoIf you're luckySo do chips, sausage rolls and girls in short skirtsRememberLoveLays its fingers on your heartAnd holds itUnder waterRemember thatWhen the next girl smiles” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“I like that about art, that what you see is sometimes more about who you are than what’s on the wall. I look at this painting and think about how everyone has some secret inside, something sleeping like that yellow bird.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“But I love you, and before you say it words do matter. They're not pointless. If they were pointless then they couldn't start revolutions and they wouldn't change history and they wouldn't be the things that you think about every night before you go to sleep. If they were just words we wouldn't listen to songs, we wouldn't beg to be read to when we're kids. If they were just words, then they'd have no meaning and stories wouldn't have been around since before humans could write. We wouldn't have learned to write. If they were just words then people wouldn't fall in love because of them, feel bad because of them, ache because of them, stop aching because of them, have sex, quite a lot of the time, because of them.” ― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue
“Sometimes science isn't enough. Sometimes you need the poets.” ― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue
“But I don’t believe that the future gives us signs. I think that we look back and read the past with the present in our eyes.” ― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue
“For a while, for as long as you're looking at it, that painting is the world and you get to be in it.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“You're always saying people don't like you but people can't like something that's not there.” ― Cath Crowley, A Little Wanting Song
“Mum says when wanting collides with getting, that's the moment of truth. I want to collide. I want to run right into Shadow and let the force spill our thoughts so we can pick each other up and pass each other back like piles of shiny stones.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“When wanting collides with getting, that's the moment of truth. I want to collide.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“If you treat glass right, it doesn't crack. If you know the properties, you can make things; the color of dusk and night and love. But you can't control people like that and I really, really wish you could. I want the world to be glass.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“Did you know that we're made up of the same matter as stars? We are nuclear energy exploding.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“I need the shade of blue that rips your heart out. You don't see that type of blue around here.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“dreaming's the only way to get anywhere.” ― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
“A dry, bookless world. It's too bleak to even imagine.” ― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue
