Quotes

• Hannah Baker: You're going to tell me this one's no big deal, but let me tell you about being lonely. Humans are a social species. We rely on connections to survive. Even the most basic social interactions help keep us alive. Statistics prove the subjective feeling of loneliness can increase the likelihood of premature death by 26%. If it sounds like I'm quoting from a school textbook, I am. Too bad nobody bothered to read it and let me tell you. There's all kinds of ways to feel lonely.
• Hannah Baker: We all need it. Human contact. And communications class, crazy as it was, was human contact for me until someone in that class cut my lifeline someone who is known for being sweet. I'll tell you who it is but you're going to have to wait. Just like I did.
• Hannah Baker: You said something stupid, Zach and I yelled at you. Big deal. You should have let it go, but you didn't let it go. You didn't like that someone told you no 'cause guys like you get anything you want, right?
• Clay Jensen: Everyone is just so nice until they drive you to kill yourself and sooner or later, the truth will come out. It's gonna come out.
