181 " Words are very powerful and they take on more power the more that they’re spoken.… the more that they’re said and read and written, in specific, consistent combinations "
― Rainbow Rowell , Fangirl
182 " This is why I can't be with Levi. Because I'm the kind of girl who fantasizes about being trapped in a library overnight-and Levi can't even read. "
183 " Books don't have intermissions either.""What do they have?""Endings. "
184 " Levi's smile broke free and devoured his whole face. It started to devour her face, too. Cath had to look away. "
185 " She heard the very beginning of a smile in his voice--a fetal smile--and it very nearly killed her. "
186 " Don't expect me to tell you apart," Reagan said when this became a routine."I have short hair," Wren said. "and she wears glasses.""Stop," Reagan groaned, "don't make me look at you. It's like The Shining in here. "
187 " It’s not my job to want you or not want you. It’s not my job to earn you. "
188 " call me sweetheart. and by that i mean that you should call me .. not that you should call me sweetheart tho you can if you want. call me call me call me. "
189 " I'm the Cool One," she told herself. "Somebody give me some tequila because I'll totally drink it. And there's no way you're going to find me later having a panic attack in your parents' bathroom. Who wants to French-kiss? "
190 " You're not the ugly one. Levi Grinned. You're just the Clark Kent... ... Will you warn me when you take off your glasses? "
191 " God, his chin. She wanted to make an honest woman of his chin. She wanted to lock it down. "
192 " You're not a book person, and now you're not an Internet person? What does that leave you?"Levi laughed. "Life. Work. Class. Other people.""Other people", Catch repeated, shaking her head and taking a sip. "There are other people on internet. It's awesome. You get all the benefits of 'other people' without the body odor and the eye contact. "
193 " 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. "
194 " I’m scared of everything. And I’m crazy. Like maybe you think I’m a little crazy, but I only ever let people see the tip of my crazy iceberg. Underneath this veneer of slightly crazy and socially inept, I’m a complete disaster. "
195 " I look like this because I'm alive," Reagan said. "Because I've had experiences. Do you understand? "
196 " 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. "
197 " I’m probably going to be crazy for the rest of my life, thanks to her. I’m going to keep making fucked-up decisions and doing weird things that I don’t even realize are weird. People are going to feel sorry for me, and I won’t ever have any normal relationships—and it’s always going to be because I didn’t have a mother. Always. That’s the ultimate kind of broken. The kind of damage you never recover from. "
198 " Do you think I absorbed all the impact? That when Mom left, it hit my side of the car? Fuck that, Wren. She left you, too.""But it didn't break me. Nothing can break me unless I let it.""Do you think Dad let it? Do you think he chose to fall apart when she left?""Yes!" Wren was shouting now. "And I think he keeps choosing. I think you both do. You'd rather be broken than move on. "
199 " Are you meeting people?” Yeah, she thought, you people. “Not intentionally,” she said. "
200 " You shouldn't reward me for endangering your life, you know. Think of the precedent you're setting. "
