1. "I feel like I've found, like, this amazing balance where I'm like happy and healthy and I'm not looking to anybody else for that happiness, you know?" —Rue
Needless to say, Jules had Rue's heartstrings in knots.
2. "Sobriety is your greatest weapon." —Ali
Ali is an advocate I'd love to have in my life.
3. "To tell you the truth, drugs are probably the only reason I haven't killed myself." —Rue

4. "You didn't come out of the womb an evil person." —Ali
Always with the knowledge. That's Ali for ya.
5. "You've been fighting a losing game since the first day you got high." —Ali
Even when Rue can't find sympathy, Ali's there to help.
6. "So, you're saying the reason my dad died is because God didn't believe in him?" —Rue
And, now I'm back to sobbing about Rue, her sister, and mom trying to move on without her dad.
7. "A true revolution has no allies." —Ali
Ali needs to just have a TedTalk already.
8. "Well, why does your life have a purpose and my dad's doesn't?" —Rue
Just start shining that next Emmy now, Zendaya.
9. "You've got to believe in the poetry because everything else in your life will fail you, including yourself." —Ali
I need this on every bumper sticker and Post It note that I own.
10. "Everything's that good to you ain't always good for you" —Miss Marsha
WHAT A GEM.
11. "Baby, trouble don't last always." —Miss Marsha
Miss Marsha's grandmother's wisdom is goals.

Come back, Jules. You hurt Rue and I just don't have time for it.

Cue the tears.
16. "Everyone's just out to make everyone else not seem like human and I don't really wanna be a part of it" —Rue
That part. People suck.
17. "How do you want your mom and sister to remember you?" —Ali
No, no. Including fam = first class ticket to "Sob Town."
