  <<Beth to Jennifer>> I don't care if they are reading our mail. Bring it on, Tron! I dare you. Try to take away my freedom of expression. I'm a journalist. A free-speech warrior. I serve in the Army of the First Amendment. I didn't take this job for the bad money, and the regressive health care coverage. I'm here for the truth, the sunshine, the casting open of closed doors!

• Rainbow Rowell Quote #7

  All I do when we're apart is think about you, and all I 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?'

  And there wasn’t anything he wanted to do that he couldn’t make time for. What did he have to mope about, really? What more did he want? Love, he could hear Eve saying. Purpose. Love. Purpose.

• Rainbow Rowell Quote #14

  Are you okay? she heard someone - Levi? - ask Hey... are you crying?
  Cath ran her fingers along the cover, over the raised gold type.
  Then someone else ran right into her, pushing the book into Cath's chest. Pushing two books into her chest. Cath looked up just as Wren threw an arm around her.
  They're both crying, Cath heard Reagan say. I can't even watch.
  Cath freed an arm to wrap around her sister. I can't believe it's really over, she whispered.
  Wren held her tight and shook her head. She really was crying, too. Don't be so melodramatic, Cath, Wren laughed hoarsely. It's never over... It's Simon.

  Be thankful, Lincoln. Money is a cruel
  thing. It’s the thing that stands between you

  love.”

  But I don't want to write my own fiction,' Cath said, as emphatically as she could. 'I don't want to write my own characters or my own worlds -- I don't care about them. . . . I'd rather pour myself into a world I love and understand than try to make something up out of nothing.

• Rainbow Rowell Quote #22

• Rainbow Rowell Quote #23

  Cath couldn't control whether she saw Levi on campus. But she could worry about it, and as long as she was worrying about it, it probably wasn't going to happen. Like some sort of anxiety vaccine. Like watching a pot to make sure it never boiled.

• Rainbow Rowell Quote #24

  Cath probably should have texted Abel by now, just to tell him that she'd made it - but she wanted to wait until she felt more breezy and nonchalant. 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.

  Cath shook her head. Now is all you get, she spat out, wishing she could make more sense. Wishing for more words, or better ones. Now is all you ever get.
