“Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”

Rainbow Rowell,
Eleanor & Park
“I don’t trust anybody. Not anybody. And the more that I care about someone, the more sure I am they’re going to get tired of me and take off.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“Holding Eleanor's hand was like holding a butterfly. Or a heartbeat. Like holding something complete, and completely alive.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
“I want everyone to meet you. You're my favorite person of all time.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
“In new situations, all the trickiest rules are the ones nobody bothers to explain to you. (And the ones you can't Google.)” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“To really be a nerd, she'd decided, you had to prefer fictional worlds to the real one.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“Just... isn't giving up allowed sometimes? Isn't it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying’?”“It sets a dangerous precedent.”“For avoiding pain?”“For avoiding life.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“What are the chances you’d ever meet someone like that? he wondered. Someone you could love forever, someone who would forever love you back? And what did you do when that person was born half a world away? The math seemed impossible.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
“I don't like you, Park,"" she said, sounding for a second like she actually meant it. ""I..."" - her voice nearly disappeared - ""think I live for you.""He closed his eyes and pressed his head back into his pillow.""I don't think I even breathe when we're not together,"" she whispered. ""Which means, when I see you on Monday morning, it's been like sixty hours since I've taken a breath. That's probably why I'm so crabby, and why I snap at you. All I do when we're apart is think about you, and all I do when we're together is panic. Because every second feels so important. 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?""He was quiet. He wanted everything she'd just said to be the last thing he heard. He wanted to fall asleep with 'I want you' in his ears.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
“You’ve read the books?”“I’ve seen the movies.”Cath rolled her eyes so hard, it hurt. (Actually.) (Maybe because she was still on the edge of tears. On the edge, period.) “So you haven’t read the books.”“I’m not really a book person.”“That might be the most idiotic thing you’ve ever said to me” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“I just want to break that song into pieces and love them all to death.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
“Happily ever after, or even just together ever after, is not cheesy,” Wren said. “It’s the noblest, like, the most courageous thing two people can shoot for.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“Underneath this veneer of slightly crazy and mildly socially retarded, I'm a complete disaster.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“I just can’t believe that life would give us to each other,’ he said, ‘and then take it back.’‘I can,’ she said. ‘Life’s a bastard.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
“Real life was something happening in her peripheral vision.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“I choose you over everyone.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“I miss you.""""That's stupid,"" she said. ""I saw you this morning.""""It's not the time,"" Levi said, and she could hear that he was smiling."" It's the distance.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
“He made her feel like more than the sum of her parts.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
“You were the sun, and I was crashing into you.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Carry On
