    Your girl? "The kind that respects my wishes," she said. "And my strength, and my... arms."
    Levi grinned some more. Because he wasn't taking her seriously. "I have a lot of respect for your arms. I like how they're attached to the rest of you.”

    Rainbow Rowell
    “You don’t have any friends, your sister dumped you, you’re a freak eater..and you’ve got some weird thing about Simon Snow."

    "I object to every single thing you just said."

    Reagan chewed. And frowned. She was wearing dark red lipstick.

    "I have lots of friends," Cath said.

    "I never see them."

    "I just got here. Most of my friends went to other schools. Or they’re online."

    "Internet friends don’t count."

    "Why not?"

    Reagan shrugged disdainfully.

    "And I don’t have a weird thing with Simon Snow," Cath said. "I’m just really active in the fandom."

    "What the fuck is ‘the fandom’?”

    John Green
    “Okay,” he said. “I gotta go to sleep. It’s almost one.” 
“Okay,” I said.
 “Okay,” he said. 
I giggled and said, “Okay.” And then the line was quiet but not dead. I almost felt like he was there in my room with me, but in a way it was better, like I was not in my room and he was not in his, but instead we were together in some invisible and tenuous third space that could only be visited on the phone. “Okay,” he said after forever. “Maybe okay will be our always.”
 “Okay,” I said.
 It was Augustus who finally hung up.”
