Will Grayson Will Grayson

I think the main message in this book is about the the three ways of love. 1) Learning to love and accept who you are. 2) The love, appreciation, and respect of loving a friend or friends. 3) Romantic love and how it will only work if you choose to make it work. A big theme that you see in this book is choice. Choosing between allowing yourself to fall, or break ones rules, or choosing to let yourself be happy. The Will Grayson have to learn to love who they are, appreciate those who they have in their lives, and allow themselves to fall in love.

"Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters."

"maybe tonight you're scared of falling, and maybe there's somebody here or somewhere else you're thinking about, worrying over, fretting over, trying to figure out if you want to fall, or how and when you're gonna land, and i gotta tell you, friends, to stop thinking about the landing, because it's all about falling."

"need is never a good basis for any relationship. it has to be much more than that."

"NO. No no no. I don't want to screw you. I just love you. When did who you want to screw become the whole game? Since when is the person you want to screw the only person you get to love? It's so stupid, Tiny! I mean, Jesus, who even gives a fuck about sex?! People act like it's the most important thing humans do, but come on. How can our sentient fucking lives revolve around something slugs can do. I mean, who you want to screw and whether you screw them? Those are important questions, I guess. But they're not that important. You know what's important? Who would you die for? Who do you wake up at five forty-five in the morning for even though you don't even know why he needs you? Whose drunken nose would you pick?!"
