Quote by Becky Albertalli

“The thing is, Gretchen's not even doing anything wrong. It's just this dynamic that's always kind of been there with us. Basically, there's a version of me who lives in Gretchen's head, and as long as I stay within a certain radius of that, we're fine. But when I veer too far off course-I start to feel kind of hazy sometimes. Maybe I'm more liquid than most people are. I always seem to take the shape of my container. Usually, it's a sort of relief, letting Gretchen remold me.”

“ஒரு தலைவனும் தலைவியும் சேர்ந்து வாழ வேண்டிய அக வாழ்க்கை... அந்த வாழ்க்கை கூட, புனிதமான தோழமை என்று சொன்னவர் திருவள்ளுவர்.”

“Don't take friendship for granted. Don't be passive, letting friendship fizzle because you forgot to reach out. Don't dip out when friends need you. Don't wait for calamity to rock you into realizing friendship is priceless. Engrave friendship on your list. Make being a good friend a part of who you are, because a deep and true core that needs to belong lies within us all.”

“The real worth of a person often only becomes apparent when they’re no longer around. In the busyness of life, we can take their presence for granted, overlooking the little things they did that made a big difference. It’s only when they leave, whether by choice or circumstance, that we start to reflect on how much they truly meant to us, and how their absence leaves a space that nothing else can fill.”

“The other part of communication is communicating your feelings. Friendship is a two-way street; it's mutual. Be honest about your needs and your feelings at all times, with no exceptions. If you're not articulating your feelings, we're not going to pick up on it--we don't take hints, we don't pick up on invisible social cues, we're not going to understand radio silence. We need real communication or we're both going to get confused and upset.”
