Quotes 

• Hannah Baker : I needed a change. I needed to be someone new. Have you ever felt like that? I wasn't going to be invisible anymore. I was going to start brand new. I was going to cut away the past and leave it all behind. I was going to work harder, be smarter and be stronger. Because you can't change other people, but you can change yourself.

• Hannah Baker : That girl had two chances that night, but we both let her down. How do I live with that? How do you, Justin? How does she live with what happened?

• Clay Jensen : [to Hannah as he is scraping gum off seats at the movie theater]  I saved you a particularly gnarly piece with some hair in it.

  Hannah Baker : Here I thought I was a flowers and chocolates kind of girl.

• Hannah Baker : I thought maybe starting over didn't have to mean cutting myself off completely. Maybe I'd been hanging with the wrong people. Maybe I could start over with the right person. But if I'd have known what was going to happen, I never would have walked through that door.

• Hannah Baker : I've got a question for you, Justin. Not the one you think. Not yet. What's the best part of high school? The great friends you make? The romance? No. We both know the best part of high school is summer break. It's the great reset button. And after everything that happened to me sophomore year, I couldn't wait to start fresh to tear the rest of the pages from my journal and forget it all.

• Hannah Baker : [as she witnesses Jessica being sexually assaulted]  I had to do something. I had to make him stop, but I couldn't get my feet to move. It was dark in there and the music was loud, but I saw his face. And I recognized his voice as clear as day. And so would all of you. But this tape isn't about him. It's about you and me, Justin. You called him a friend, but your girlfriend needed you.

• Hannah Baker : I If I'd known what would happen what that night had in store, I might never have walked through that door. But parties have a weird magic. They're like an alternate universe. They can make you believe that maybe anything is possible.

• Jessica Davis : You're so sweet, Hannah, but I'm fine. I know what I'm doing.

  Hannah Baker : [narrating]  But she didn't, did she, Justin? She didn't know.

• Hannah Baker : I know what you're thinking. Maybe if this girl hadn't had so much to drink, what happened next never would have happened. But it was a party. Everyone had too much to drink. And besides, how can you blame someone for something that happens while they're unconscious?

• Clay Jensen : I'm never getting old

  Hannah Baker : Yeah, me neither
