Looking for the best 13 Reasons Why quotes? I’ve got you covered. Like most of you, I binge-watched the Netflix Original over the course of just a few nights. Three nights, actually. For those of you doing the math, I dedicated probably around 4.25 hours a night to watching the show until it reached its incredibly distressing and depressing conclusion. No spoiler here, you already know what is going to happen to Hannah. She kills herself. That’s not really the surprise. What she leaves behind, and the mystery of WHY she did it: that’s what you find out throughout the 13 cassette tapes.
13 Reasons Why Quotes You Need to Read
We use words like “need to read” a lot. In the case of these 13 Reasons Why quotes, though, you actually DO need to read them. I think everyone needs to read them because they mean something. They’re not just witty bits of dialogue or catchphrases that look good on a meme. They are thought-provoking and emotional. The series itself has mixed reviews, but these quotes definitely get you thinking about the way we treat each other. Read on to see what I mean. I am including quotes from the book, as well, because in some cases, author Jay Asher just plain said it better.
“What if the only way to not feel bad is to stop feeling anything at all, forever?” For the record, it’s NOT the only way. If you feel like it is, please, please, please talk to someone!
“Some of you cared. None of you cared enough.” The sad thing about this statement, there were at least two people who really DID care enough…her parents.
“The truth isn’t always the most exciting version of things, or the best or the worst. It’s somewhere in between. But it deserves to be heard and remembered. The truth will out, like someone said once. It remains.”
“You can’t stop the future
You can’t rewind the past
The only way to learn the secret
…is to press play.”
“No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same.”
“Everything…affects everything” So true!
“When you try rescuing someone and discover they can’t be reached, why would you ever throw that back in their face?”
“You can’t go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is…now.”
“I hope you’re ready, because I’m about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you’re listening to these tapes, you’re one of the reasons why.”
“It seemed like no matter what I did, I kept letting people down. I started thinking how everyone’s lives would be better without me.”
“A flood of emotions rushes into me. Pain and anger. Sadness and pity. But most surprising of all, hope.”
“You can hear rumors. But you can’t know them.” – This is so incredibly true. A rumor is just that, someone’s idea of what happened. No one knows the truth except the people who were actually involved.
“But sometimes there’s nothing left to do but move on.”
Do you have any favorite 13 Reasons Why quotes that I missed? Share below!
Like most people I always binge-wacthed 13 Reasons Why when it came out (I watched it in one day, whoops!). These quotes are so powerful, I especially love “You can hear rumors. But you can’t know them.” So true!
These are some really great quotes. I definitely love the rumor one – I haven’t quite finished the season but I have definitely seen that episode!
I love reading quotes. Unless I write them down or print them off I am terrible at remembering them. Haven’t seen 13 Reasons yet.
These sound like good quotes. I haven’t seen the show yet. I worry it’ll make me too upset.
These are all very good quotes. I have never seen 13 Reasons but it sounds interesting.
I read the book a couple years ago and loved it. It was a different way to tell a story. The show was amazing seeing it come to life.
The only one of these quotes I had heard before was “everything affects everything.” 13 Reasons Why is getting a lot of press right now.
I have heard that this is a great show, but I have not watched it yet. I think I should watch it just to see what the fuss is about.
It is really neat that so many people watch their own sets of TV shows. With all the options out there now like cable tv and netflix that is easier than ever. Our family apparently never tunes into the same shows you write about and it is interesting to see someone else’s preferences and perspective when it comes to entertainment.
I know that this is a really popular teens book now. I have heard so many good things about the series that I am definitely going to have to take a look. Thanks for the great quotes.
At one point in my life, that last quote applied to me back then. But it is a totally different scenario now. Thanks for these quotes.
I have been hearing a lot about this! These are good quotes, like the first one especially.
This show had me in my feelings. A very powerful show and I highly recommend everyone watch.
