    Cornelia Funke, Inkheart

    A.S. King

    A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz

    John Green
    “I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”
    John Green, Looking for Alaska

    Melina Marchetta
    “It's funny how you can forget everything except people loving you. Maybe that's why humans find it so hard getting over love affairs. It's not the pain they're getting over, it's the love.”
    Melina Marchetta, On the Jellicoe Road

    Rainbow Rowell
    “Holding Eleanor's hand was like holding a butterfly. Or a heartbeat. Like holding something complete, and completely alive.”

  • #9
    Rainbow Rowell
    “Nothing before you counts," he said. "And I can't even imagine an after."

    She shook her head. "Don't."

    "What?"

    "Don't talk about after."

    "I just meant that... I want to be the last person who ever kisses you, too.... That sounds bad, like a death threat or something. What I'm trying to say is, you're it. This is it for me.”
    Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park

  • #10
    Rainbow Rowell
    “What do you want to show me?"

    "Nothing, really. I just want to be alone with you for a minute."

    He pulled her to the back of the driveway, where they were almost completely hidden by a line of trees and the RV and the garage.

    "Seriously?" she said. "That was so lame."

    "I know," he said, turning to her. "Next time, I'll just say, 'Eleanor, follow me down this dark alley, I want to kiss you.'"

    She didn't roll her eyes. She took a breath, then closed her mouth. He was learning how to catch her off guard.

    She pushed her hands deeper in her pockets, so he put his hands on her elbows. "Next time," he said, "I'll just say, 'Eleanor, duck behind these bushes with me, I'm going to lose my mind if I don't kiss you.'"

    She didn't move, so he thought it was probably okay to touch her face. Her skin was as soft as it looked, white and smooth as freckled porcelain.

    "I'll just say, 'Eleanor, follow me down this rabbit hole...'"

    He laid his thumb on her lips to see if she'd pull away. She didn't. He leaned closer. He wanted to close his eyes, but he didn't trust her not to leave him standing there.”
    Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park

    Rainbow Rowell
    “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

  • #12
    Rainbow Rowell
    “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

    Rainbow Rowell
    “Bono met his wife in high school," Park says.
    "So did Jerry Lee Lewis," Eleanor answers.
    "I’m not kidding," he says.
    "You should be," she says, "we’re sixteen."
    "What about Romeo and Juliet?"
    "Shallow, confused," then dead.
    "I love you, Park says.
    "Wherefore art thou," Eleanor answers.
    "I’m not kidding," he says.
    "You should be.”
    Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park

    Rainbow Rowell
    “Damn, damn, damn," she said. "I never said why I like you, and now I have to go."
    "That's okay," he said.
    "It's because you're kind," she said. "And because you get all my jokes..."
    "Okay." He laughed.
    "And you're smarter than I am."
    "I am not."
    "And you look like a protagonist." She was talking as fast as she could think. "You look like the person who wins in the end. You're so pretty, and so good. You have magic eyes," she whispered. "And you make me feel like a cannibal."
    "You're crazy."
    "I have to go." She leaned over so the receiver was close to the base.
    "Eleanor - wait," Park said. She could hear her dad in the kitchen and her heartbeat everywhere.
    "Eleanor - wait - I love you.”
    Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park

    Louis Sachar
    “I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.”
    Louis Sachar

    Louis Sachar
    “If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
    "The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies."
    While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
    Crying to the moo-oo-oon,
    "If only, If only.”
    Louis Sachar, Holes

    Lauren Oliver
    “How did I love her?
    Let me count the ways.
    The freckles on her nose like the shadow of a shadow; the way she chewed on her lower lip when she walked and how when she ran she looked like she was born going fast and how she fit perfectly against my chest; her smell and the touch of her lips and her skin, which was always warm, and how she smiled.
    Like she had a secret.
    How she always made up words during Scrabble. Hyddym (secret music). Grofp (cafeteria food). Quaw (the sound a baby duck makes). How she burped her way through the alphabet once, and I laughed so hard I spat out soda through my nose.
    And how she looked at me like I could save her from everything bad in the world.
    This was my secret: she was the one who saved me.”
    Lauren Oliver, Requiem

    David Levithan
    “I'm not good at relationships
    I always manage to find the flaws
    sometimes in others
    but mostly my own.
    I foretell the ending
    then go and create the cause
    save myself
    and end up alone”
    David Levithan, The Realm of Possibility

    Gabrielle Zevin
    “Someday, we’ll run into each other again, I know it.
    Maybe I’ll be older and smarter and just plain better. If that happens,
    that’s when I’ll deserve you. But now, at this moment, you can’t hook
    your boat to mine, because I’m liable to sink us both.”
    Gabrielle Zevin, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
