FANGIRL by Rainbow Rowell 

"In new situations, all the trickiest rules are the ones nobody bothers to explain to you. (And the ones you can't Google.)"

✎

"To really be a nerd, she'd decided, you had to prefer fictional worlds to the real one."

✎

"Sometimes writing is running downhill, your fingers jerking behind you on the keyboard the way your legs do when they can't quite keep up with gravity."

✎

"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."

✎

"There are other people on the Internet. It's awesome. You get all the benefits of 'other people' without the body odor and the eye contact."

✎

"Smiling is confusing, she thought. This is why I don't do it."

✎

"Months are different in college, especially freshman year. Too much happens. Every freshman month equals six regular months—they're like dog months."

✎

"I don't want to do anything. I don't even want to start this day because then I'll just be expected to finish it."

✎

"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."

✎

"That was the beauty in stacking up words--they got cheaper, the more you had of them."

✎

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

✎

"I'm the kind of girl who fantasizes about being trapped in a library overnight."

✎

"Now is all you ever get."

✎

"Have you ever heard sculptors say that they don't actually sculpt an object; they sculpt away everything that isn't the object?"

✎

"If we stop to apologize and forgive each other every time we step on each other's toes, we'll never have time to be friends."

✎

"I know what it's like to be distracted. To seek out distractions. To exhaust yourself doing every other little thing rather than face a blank page"

✎

"She hated the way he passed out smiles to everyone he met like it didn't cost him anything, like he'd never run out."

✎

"Reading is not lonely."

✎

"I'm not interested in lips out of context."

"Will you read this? I think maybe it sucks. Or maybe it's awesome. It's probably awesome. Tell me it's awesome, okay? Unless it sucks." 

✎

"There's nothing more intoxicating than creating something from nothing. Creating something from yourself."

✎

"I'd rather pour myself into a world I love and understand than try to make something up out of nothing."
