181 " salir del armario no es algo que preocupe a los heteros. "
― Becky Albertalli , Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Simonverse, #1)
182 " And cranking Sufjan Stevens at top volume doesn’t solve anything, which is probably why people don’t crank Sufjan Stevens. "
183 " ... teachers think they get to dictate what you think about. It's not enough if you just sit there quietly and let them teach. "
184 " It’s like he’s our age telling his parents he knocked someone up. Which is totally the straight person equivalent of coming out. As a side note, don’t you think everyone should have to come out? Why is straight the default? Everyone should have to declare one way or another, and it should be this big awkward thing whether you’re straight, gay, bi, or whatever. I’m just saying. "
185 " My whole body tenses. Leah once said that she’d rather have people call her fat directly than have to sit there and listen to them talking shit about some other girl’s weight. I actually think I agree with that. Nothing is worse than the secret humiliation of being insulted by proxy. "
186 " When the school day ends and nothing extraordinary has happened, it’s a tiny heartbreak. It’s like eleven o’clock on the night of your birthday, when you realize no one’s throwing you a surprise party after all. "
187 " There shouldn't even be a default. "
188 " White shouldn’t be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn’t even be a default. "
189 " Which kind of makes me want to smack myself. White shouldn’t be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn’t even be a default. "
190 " ..people really are like houses with vast rooms and tiny windows. "
191 " Hush,” I say, and my cheeks burn. Freaking Abby never misses a freaking thing. "
192 " whole goddamned school right here, right now, because I’m an asshole, and that’s just how it’s going to go down. "
193 " And you know what? You don’t get to say it’s not a big thing. This is a big fucking thing, okay? This was supposed to be—this is mine. I’m supposed to decide when and where and who knows and how I want to say it.” Suddenly, my throat gets thick. “So, yeah, you took that from me. And then you brought Blue into it? Seriously? You fucking suck, Martin. I mean, I don’t even want to look at "
194 " That's where I found Blue's post. It just kind of spoke to me. And I don't even think it was just the gay thing. I don't know. It was seriously like five lines, but it was grammatically correct and strangely poetic, and just completely different from anything I've ever read before. "
195 " I guess it was about loneliness. And it's funny because I don't really think of myself as lonely. But there was something so familiar about the way Blue described the feeling. It was like he had pulled the ideas from my head. "
196 " Tosi hassua, äiti. Arvaa mitä? Minä yritän estää Nickiä saamasta omakseen tyttöä josta hän tykkää, jotta Martin Addison ei kertoisi koko koululle että olen homo. Ai joo, tosiaan, tulinko maininneeksi että olen muuten homo? Miten tällaista on muka tarkoitus kertoa? Olisi varmaan eri juttu, jos asuisimme vaikka New Yorkissa, mutta en tajua miten Georgiassa voi olla homo. "
197 " A part of me feels like I jumped over some kind of border, and now I'm on the other side realizing I can't cross back. "
198 " Conversar com meus pais é mais cansativo do que ter um blog. "
199 " Onstage, it's one girl after another. All in short dresses. All singing songs by Adele. "
200 " Acho que não vou contar para os meus pais. Tenho quase certeza de que eu não levaria uma bronca se contasse. Não sei. Preciso passar mais tempo na minha cabeça com esse novo Simon. Meus pais têm um talento nato para estragar coisas assim. Eles ficam muito curiosos. Parece que têm uma ideia de mim, e sempre que eu me afasto dessa ideia, eles ficam perdidos. "
