― Rainbow Rowell , Fangirl
142 " You can’t take back texts. If you come off all moody and melancholy in a text, it just sits there in your phone, reminding you of what a drag you are. "
143 " Take off your glasses.""Why? I thought you liked my glassess.""I love your glasses. I especially love the moment when you take them off. "
144 " I'd rather be broken than wasted. "
145 " And sometimes you held somebody’s hand just to prove that you were still alive, and that another human being was there to testify to that fact. "
146 " 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. "
147 " I'd rather pour myself into a world I love and understand than try to make something up out of nothing. "
148 " How do you feel when I smile at you?" he asked - and then he did smile at her, just a little.Not like myself, Cath thought."Like an idiot," she said softly. "And I never want it to stop. "
149 " Are you on drugs?”“No.”“Maybe you should be.… "
150 " She didn't have words for what Levi was. He was a cave painting. He was The Red Ballon. She lifted her heels and pulled him forward until his face was so close, she could look at only one of his eyes at a time. "You're magic," she said. "
151 " You look ridiculous,” Wren said.“What?”“That shirt.” It was a Hello Kitty shirt from eighth or ninth grade. Hello Kitty dressed as a superhero. It said SUPER CAT on the back, and Wren had added an H with fabric paint. The shirt was cropped too short to begin with, and it didn’t really fit anymore. Cath pulled it down self-consciously.“Cath!” her dad shouted from downstairs. “Phone.”Cath picked up her cell phone and looked at it“He must mean the house phone,” Wren said.“Who calls the house phone?”“Probably 2005. I think it wants its shirt back. "
152 " I’d give you the moon right now,” she said.Levi’s eyes flashed happily, and he hitched up an eyebrow. “Yeah, but would you slay it for me? "
153 " Why do we write fiction?" Professor Piper asked.Cath looked down at her notebook.To disappear. "
154 " I don’t think I’m any good at this. Boy–girl. Person–person. 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. "
155 " I wonder…,” she said, “if there was such a thing as time machines, would anyone ever use them to go to the future? "
156 " Cath couldn't stop thinking about Levi and his ten thousand smiles. "
157 " Reading is not lonely. "
158 " That was the beauty in stacking up words--they got cheaper, the more you had of them. "
159 " Honey, I've watched a lot of 90210. The parents weren't even on the show once Brandon and Brenda went to college. This is your time - you're supposed to going to frat parties and getting back together with Dylan.""Why does everybody want me to go to frat parties?""Who wants you to go to frat parties? I was just kidding. Don't hang out with frat guys, Cath, they're terrible. All they do is get drunk and watch 90210. "
160 " The whole point of fanfiction is that you get to play inside somebody else's universe. Rewrite the rules. Or bend them. The story doesn't have to end. You can stay in this world, this world you love, as long as you want, as long as you keep thinking of new stories. "
