“...being Lulu, it made me realize that all my life I've been living in a small, square room, with no windows and no doors. And I was fine. I was happy, even. I thought. Then someone came along and showed me there was a door in the room. One that I'd never even seen before. Then he opened it for me. Held my hand as I walked through it. And for one perfect day, I was on the other side. I was somewhere else. Someone else. And then he was gone, and I was thrown back into my little room. And now, no matter what I do, I can't seem to find that door.”
― Gayle Forman, Just One Day

“Sometimes the best way to find out what you’re supposed to do is by doing the thing you’re not supposed to do.”
― Gayle Forman, Just One Day

“I realize then that it's not enough to know what someone is called. You have to know who they are.”
― Gayle Forman, Just One Day

“Because that day with Willem, I may have pretended to be someone named Lulu, but I had never been more honest in my life.
Maybe that's the thing with liberation. It comes at a price.”
― Gayle Forman, Just One Day
