“Welcome to Paris, Anna. I'm glad you've come.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“I’m teleporting to Atlanta. I’m picking you up, and we’ll go someplace where our families can’t find us. We’ll take Seany. And we’ll let him run laps until he tires, and then you and I will take a long walk. Like Thanksgiving. Remember? And we’ll talk about everything BUT our parents â€� or perhaps we won’t talk at all. We’ll just walk. And we’ll keep walking until the rest of the world ceases to exist.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“You said on my birthday that you were afraid of being alone, but I’ve been here this whole time. This whole time.”

“I trail my fingers across his cheek. He stays perfectly still for me. “Please stop apologizing, Étienne.â€�
“Say my name again,� he whispers.
I close my eyes and lean forward. “Étienne.�
He takes my hands into his.Those perfect hands, that fit mine just so. “Anna?�
Our foreheads touch. “Yes?�
“Will you please tell me you love me? I’m dying here.�
And then we’re laughing. And then I’m in his arms, and we’re kissing, at first quickly—to make up for lost time—and then slowly, because we have all
the time in the world. And his lips are soft and honey sweet, and the careful, passionate way he moves them against my own says that he savors the way I
taste, too.
And in between kisses, I tell him I love him.
Again and again and again.”

“Pinkie means excited or happy, thumb means thinking or worried. I’m surprised I know
the meaning of these gestures. How closely have I been paying attention to him?”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“I have the strangest feeling that he's aware of me as I am of him.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“That's it," Rashmi says. "I'm outta here. Enjoy your hormones.”

“You'll be so busy with Bridge and what's-his-name that you'll forget all about your English mate, St. Clair."
"Ha! So you are English!" I poke him in the stomach.
He grabs my hand and we wrestle, laughing. "I claim... no... nationality.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“And I realize ... it’s okay. It’s okay if St. Clair and I never become more than friends. His friendship alone has strengthened me in a way that no one
else’s ever has. He swept me from my room and showed me independence. In other words, he was exactly what I needed. I won’t forget it. And I certainly
don’t want to lose it.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“How'd you get this number?"

"Well, you see, there's this book. It has white pages. And it has all these phone numbers listed inside it. It's also online.”

“They left me. My parents actually left me! IN FRANCE!”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“I love it when he cocks an eyebrow whenever I say something he finds clever or amusing.
I love listening to his boots clomp across my bedroom ceiling.
I love that the accent over his first name is called an acute accent, and that he has a cute accent.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“Because I don’t want to be alone right now.â€� His voice echoes through the night.

I turn around to face him one last time. “You weren’t alone, asshole.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“But I could be mistaking our friendship for something more, because I want to mistake it for something more.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“I have a rule."
"Elaborate."
The statue is still warm from the previous visitors. "I ask myself, if the worst happened—if I did get knocked up-would I be embarrassed to tell my child who his father was? If the answer is anywhere even remotely close to yes, then there's no way."
He nods slowly. "That's a good rule.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“Suddenly I register that St. Clair is shorter than Josh. Much shorter. It’s odd I didn’t notice earlier, but he doesn’t carry himself like a short guy. Most are shy or defensive, or some messed-up combination of the two, but St. Clair is confident and friendly andâ€�”

“You ought to stop listening to stereotypes and start forming your own opinions.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“The directness of her question throws me. "I don't know. Sometimes I think there are only so many opportunities...to get together with someone. And we've both screwed up so many times"- my voice grows quiet - "that we've missed our chance."
"Anna." Mer pauses. "That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
"µþ³Ü³Ùâ€�"
"But what? You love him, and he loves you, and you live in the most romantic city in the world.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

“He closes his eyes.
Our lips brush lightly.

"If you ask me to kiss you , I will," he says.

His fingers stroke the inside of my wrists, and I burst into flames.

"Kiss me," I say.

He does.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss
