"I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex."

"In corn, I think I've found the key to the American food chain. If you look at a fast-food meal, a McDonald's meal, virtually all the carbon in it - and what we eat is mostly carbon - comes from corn."

"The thought of Peter and John Ambrose McClaren in the same space together again is discomforting. Where would I even look?"
Relationship
"Sometimes it's like people are a million times more beautiful to you in your mind. It's like you see them through a special lens - but maybe if it's how you see them,that's how they really are. It's like the whole tree falling in the forest thing."
Mindset
"But you never said anything! Not one frigging word, Lara Jean!Automatically I say, 'Don't say 'frig.'S'Not one frigging word, Kitty repeats with a shake of her head.Peter cracks up, and I give him a dirty look. 'It all happened really fast, he offers. 'There was barely time to tell anybody-'Was I talking to you? Kitty snaps. 'No, I don't think so. I was talking to my sister.Peter's eyes widen, and I can see him trying to keep a straight face."
Relationship
"Aching familiar in a way that made me wish I was still eight. Eight was before death or divorce or heartbreak. Eight was just eight. Hot dogs and peanut butter, mosquito bites and splinters, bikes and boogie boards. Tangled hair, sunburned shoulders, Judy Blume, in bed by nine thirty."
Nostalgia
"My mother was good at that, making people feel normal. Safe. Like as long as she was there, nothing truly bad could happen."
Family
"I've fallen for the one person I shouldn't have. For the boy who broke Mary's heart. For Rennie's one true love. For Alex's best friend.It has to end here. Now."
Relationship
"I love Jere more than anybody. He's my brother, my family. I hate myself for doing this. But when I see you two together, I hate him too. His voice broke.'Don't marry him. Don't be with him. Be with me."
Relationship
"My best advice is to first write for yourself and stay in your story and just pour all of your good stuff and bad stuff into it. By 'stuff,' I mean all the experiences and pleasures and little hurts that make up a life. Because even (and especially) the really hard experiences are worth having, if you can channel those emotions into something beautiful."
Creativity
"If two people are meant to be, they'll find their way to each other."
Love
"I'd never heard of them, but at that moment, it was the best song I'd ever heard. I went out and bought Ten and listened to it on repeat. When I listened to track five, 'Black,' it was like I was there, in that moment all over again.After the summer was over, when I got back home, I went to the music store and bought the sheet music and learned to play it on the piano. I thought one day I could accompany Conrad and we could be, like, a band."
