Are you an 80s kid with a severe case of nostalgia for your childhood TV? We’ve got a solution for you – Stranger Things. Or maybe you’re a Gen Zer whose entire knowledge of the 80s comes from the Back to the Future trilogy, and now you want to learn more? Two words: Stranger Things. Or better still, you’re a Stephen King fan who has watched all his screen adaptations at least three times, but it’s not enough? Stranger Things!
When this Netflix TV show hit the screen, it instantly gained a huge following, with quotes from Stranger Things quickly turning into internet memes. One of the greatest things about the TV series is that with its very diverse array of characters, you will find at least one whose ideas and opinions you share. Whether you prefer Eddie Munson screaming “This is music!” (iconic, I agree) or resort to slightly sarcastic Steve Harrington lines about the things that happen around him, there is a Stranger Things quote for every life situation. And of course, not to forget Eleven quotes that perfectly sum up teenage angst and attempts to figure out this world and your place in it.
One of the factors that made this series so popular is that although it is a fantasy show with monsters and evil corporations doing sinister stuff, it manages to portray life in a small town in the 80s with all its joys and problems, childhood dreams, and relationships in a manner so relatable, everyone will find a part of their life in it, no matter which decade they come from.
In this article, we’ve collected funny Stranger Things quotes, profound Stranger Things quotes, and everything else in between. Share them with your friends, and let us know in the comments what the best Stranger Things quotes of all time are in your opinion.

“When you’re different, sometimes you feel like a mistake. But you make her feel like she’s not a mistake at all. Like she’s better for being different.” - Will Byers

This is my favourite ever stranger things quote. Will Byers is truly the sweetest and most compassionate person you could ever meet. Even though he is going through all these problems himself, it doesn't change the way he acts towards others and that's what I love about Will.

Mrs. Wheeler is kind of an underappreciated character. She gave some solid life advice to Nancy in Season Three, and she makes up for her husband's cruddy character. Yeah, her choices are a bit questionable *cough cough Billy cough cough* but she ended up sticking with her family in the end.
