13 Reasons Why Wiki

I waited for you, Marcus. And I just had to sit there, wondering. Imagining. Playing over all the different scenarios in my mind. And all the while thinking that they all knew everyone in the whole place that I'd been stood up on Valentine's Day. I decided to give you one more chance; Stupid Hannah.

Marcus, welcome to your tape. What was it? Did you want to see if the rumors were true? Or did you just want to start some new ones of your own?
— Hannah Baker


Olivia: "Maybe we should be blaming ourselves. I mean, if we weren't so preoccupied with the fucking store..."
Andy: "The store's how we survive."
Olivia: "No, no, no. The store was to get you out of that company that was killing you to get us out of that shitty suburban wasteland."
―  Olivia and Andy Baker talking about Hannah's death
Fun fact. I did some research on tombstones the other day. Or, more specifically, on epitaphs on tombstones. The best one I could find was by this writer, called Henry Charles Bukowski, Jr. On his tombstone, he has engraved the picture of a boxer, and beneath the boxer, two simple words: 'Don't try'. I wonder what will be on mine.
— Hannah Baker on the tapes
