Book cover for The Art of Loving
Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of being loved, rather than that of loving, of one’s capacity to love. Hence the problem to them is how to be loved, how to be lovable.

Rainbow Rowell
“Is that a tentative yes?”
“No.” She shook her head. “It’s more like a yes with an asterisk.”
“What’s the footnote?”
“It’s like ‘yes,’ asterisk, and then ‘Let the record show I think this is probably a bad idea.’”
He took her hand again. “But you still want . . . to be with me?”
“Cary,” she said, chastising him, “I always want that. I’m obviously in love with you.”
“Obviously?” She nodded her head.
His eyes were wide again. “Shiloh . . . will you marry me?”
“Yes,” she whispered. “Asterisk.”
Cary whispered, too: “Let the record show you think this is a bad idea.”
“Let the record show I’m terrified of losing you completely.”
Rainbow Rowell, Slow Dance

Veronica Roth
“There is a difference between admitting and confessing. Admitting involves softening, making excuses for things that cannot be excused; confessing just names the crimes at its full severity.”
Veronica Roth, Allegiant

Rainbow Rowell
“When I think about the last 14 years and everything I’ve missed in your life, I feel like I squandered something precious. Like I was given something rare and valuable— a true blessing, an unearned gift— and all I had to do was hold on to it. And I let go. I worry that it shows my true measure. That I couldn’t be trusted to get Frodo to Mordor.”
Rainbow Rowell, Slow Dance

Veronica Roth
“Yeah, sometimes life really sucks," she says. "But you know what I'm holding on for?"

I raise my eyebrows.

She raises hers, too, mimicking me.

"The moments that don't suck," she says. "The trick is to notice them when they come around.”
Veronica Roth, Allegiant

Rainbow Rowell
“Cary, back in her life again. A place in his life. Shiloh liked being an emergency contact. She just wanted contact. She wanted to pull those old warm feelings through the empty years and into the present. She wanted to repot them here and find them a nice sunny window.”
Rainbow Rowell, Slow Dance
