― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

"White shouldn't be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn't even be a default."
― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

"I mean, I feel secure in my masculinity, too. Being secure in your masculinity isn't the same as being straight."

― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

"And then I kiss him for real, and he kisses me back, and his hands fist my hair. And we're kissing like it's breathing. My stomach flutters wildly. And somehow we end up horizontal, his hands curved up around my back.

"I like this," I say, and my voice comes out breathless. "We should do this. Every day."
"Okay."
"Let's never do anything else. No school. No meals. No homework."
"I was going to ask you to see a movie," he says, smiling. When he smiles, I smile.
"No movies. I hate movies."
"Oh, really?"
"Really, really. Why would I want to watch other people kissing," I say, "when I could be kissing you?"
― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

"All right" --he nods-- "but know that I would."
― Becky Albertalli, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
