love thinking kind
I think I can live without you, but it won't be any kind of life.
saving life-is ifs
If you can't save your own life, is it even worth saving?
hurt hands firsts
The first time he'd held her hand, it felt so good that it crowded out all the bad things. It felt better than anything had ever hurt.
autumn nurse grace
October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!
hair fishing people
If you don't want people to look at you, Park had thought at the time, don't wear fishing lures in your hair. Her jewelry box must look like a junk drawer.
love art nice
Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.
hands alive facts
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.
beautiful winning forever
You don’t have to be the kind of beautiful that everyone can agree on. If the right person finds you beautiful, you win. You win forever.
love fall men
Every woman wants a man who'll fall in love with her soul as well as her body.
mother girlfriend hurt
This is new to us, you know? Your mother's sorry. She's sorry that she hurt your feelings, and she wants you to invite your girlfriend over for dinner." "So that she can make her feel bad and weird?" "Well she is kind of weird, isn't she?" Park didn't have the energy to be angry. He sighed and let his head fall back on the chair. His dad kept talking. "Isn't that why you like her?
thinking enough left
I don’t think there’s enough of her left.
thinking rewards precedent
You shouldn't reward me for endangering your life, you know. Think of the precedent you're setting.
crazy thinking talking
He never hurries. He never shows his cards. He always hangs up first....Like when we first started talking on the phone, he would always be the one who got off first. When we kissed, he always pulled away first. He always kept me just on the edge of crazy. Feeling like I wanted him too much, which just made me want him more....[It was] excruciating and wonderful. It feels good to want something that bad. I thought about him the way you think about dinner when you haven't eaten for a day and a half. Like you'd sell your soul for it.
girl i-like-you thinking
I miss you, Eleanor. I want to be with you all the time. You’re the smartest girl I’ve ever met, and the funniest, and everything you do surprises me. And I wish I could say that those are the reasons I like you, because that would make me sound like a really evolved human being …‘But I think it’s got as much to do with your hair being red and your hands being soft … and the fact that you smell like homemade birthday cake
