1 " if Katie Leung sweetly rejecting Daniel Radcliffe in a Scottish accent wasn't your sexual awakening, I don't even want to know you. "
― Becky Albertalli , Leah on the Offbeat (Simonverse, #3)
2 " I used to think boners literally pointed in the direction of the person you're attracted to, like a compass. That would be helpful. Mortifying as fuck, but at least it would clarify things. "
3 " I can't help it. I'm a Slytherin."And I'm the worst kind of Slytherin. I'm the kind who's so stupidly in love with a Gryffindor, she can't even function. I'm the Draco from some shitty Drarry fic that the author abandoned after four chapters. "
4 " I hate when writers make Draco sweet. Sorry, but Draco's a bitch. Own it. I mean, yeah, he's a ball of mush underneath, but you have to earn it with him. "
5 " I feel like a campfire, like I could burn for days. "
6 " Did you know I had an ultrasound the day before my prom?""That's . . . cool?""It was cool! It was the big one, too. That's when I found out your gender.""Gender is a social construction. "
7 " Mr. Spier, memorizing the Hamilton soundtrack is not going to save you on the AP Euro exam. "
8 " There's this tug in my chest. Because when Bram says Simon's name, he pronounces every part of it. Like it's worth being careful over. "
9 " Leah Catherine Burke is an actual genius, and we should never ever doubt her music taste. "
10 " I’ve never understood the appeal of drinking. It’s not like liquor tastes good. I mean, I know it’s not about that. It’s about feeling loose and unstoppable. Simon described it to me once. He said drinking lets you say and do things without filtering or overthinking. But I don’t get how that’s a good thing "
11 " Who?''Abby Suso.'I almost choke. "
12 " Of all fuckin' days""Okay, please don't say fuckin'."She shoots me a self-conscious glance. "I thought we liked cussing.""We love cussing. But we say the fucking g. I don't want to hear that apostrophe, Mom. "
13 " It’s too much. And I don’t want to embrace the suck. I want things to not suck. And I don’t think that’s too much to ask. "
14 " I remember when this store opened," Morgan says. "I was obsesed with American Girls."Anna raises her eyebrows. "You're still obsessed.""Not with all of them." Morgan swipes her. "Just Rebecca. But, like, she's Jewish, so she's family. "
15 " It's like it doesn't even matter if I like my body, because there's always someone there to remind me I shouldn't. "
16 " I don't even dislike Abby. It's just that my brain doesn't work right around her. "
17 " Dude, if you like me- if you actually like me- then be jealous. Be worried. Be something. If this were Nick flirting with me, Garrett would think woah: competition. But because it's Abby, it doesn't mean anything. It's like it doesn't count. "
18 " Imagine going about your day knowing someone’s carrying you in their mind. That has to be the best part of being in love- the feeling of having a home in some else’s brain. "
19 " I can’t fuck your life, I’m monogamously fucking my own life. "
20 " I hate when assholes have talent. I want to live in a world where good people rule at everything and shitty people suck at everything. "
