61 " Eleanor let his words hit her full on. "
― Rainbow Rowell , Eleanor & Park
62 " She could have just told him about the magic phone. Full disclosure. Then they could have solved it together. They could have Sherlocked and Watsoned from both ends of the timeline "
― Rainbow Rowell , Landline
63 " He took the necklace out of the box and carefully fastened it around her neck. Just like he'd imagined himself doing when he bought it. That might even be why he bought it - so he'd have this moment, under her hair. He ran his fingertips along the chain and settled the pendant on her throat. "
64 " I wasn’t built for this,” he yelled. “Look at me. You know it’s true.” And for the first time, maybe ever, he didn’t sound cool. He sounded a little panicked. And a little angry. “I don’t want to love someone so much that they take up all my head, all my space. If I knew I was going to feel this way about you, I would have left a long time ago, while I still could. "

65 " He stood for twenty minutes in the bedding aisle at Target, trying to choose a manly sheet set, then picked the ones with a violet pattern, because he liked violets and who else was ever going to see his sheets, anyway? "
66 " If this was just a dream she wished she could have it every night. Neal not quite whispering sweet somethings into her ear. "
67 " Some people count sheep. I self-loathe. "
68 " She kept forcing herself to remember the entire conversation, playing it back and playing it back, all the way through, forcing a finger down her memory's throat. "

69 " The goblins have been after me ever since I helped the Coven drive them out of Essex. (They were gobbling up drunk people in club bathrooms, and the Mage was worried about losing regional slang.) I think the goblin who successfully offs me gets to be king. "

70 " A little manic was okay. A little manic paid the bills and got him up in the morning, made him magic when he needed it most. "
71 " Magic fucking phone. "
― Rainbow Rowell
72 " Just because it had happened before didn’t mean it wasn’t serious. It didn’t mean he didn’t need them. "
73 " Because, he says, it hurts to think about things that you can't have or help. S'better not to think about it. "
74 " You don’t care what anyone thinks about you,’ he said.‘That’s crazy,’ she said. ‘I care what everyone thinks about me.’‘I can’t tell,’ he said. ‘You just seem like yourself, no matter what’s happening around you. My grandmother would say you’re comfortable in your own skin. "
75 " When Eleanor was a little girl, she'd thought her mom looked like a queen, like the star of some fairy tale.Not a princess - princesses are just pretty. Eleanor's mother was beautiful. She was tall and stately, with broad shoulders and an elegant waist. 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. "
76 " Eleanor had never thought about killing herself – ever – but she thought a lot about stopping. "
77 " He was hers. To have and hold. Not forever, maybe--not forever, for sure--and not figuratively. But literally. And now. Now, he was hers. And he wanted her to touch him. He was like a cat who pushes its head under your hands. "
78 " I'm extra-good at wanting things. I want things until I feel sort of sick about them. I want enough for two normal people, at least. "
79 " She could have just told him about the magic phone. Full disclosure. Then they could have solved it together. They could have Sherlocked and Watsoned from both endsof the timeline. "
80 " I'm interested. It's like you've got all these weird barriers set up, like you only want me to have access to this tiny part of you… "
