More quotes by Jay Asher
When the right moment appears, the key is to not let it pass.
Jay Asher
Do you remember the last thing you said to me? The last thing you did to me? And what was the last thing I said to you? Because trust me when I said it I knew it was the last thing I’d ever say.
Jay Asher
We didn't get that chance because I was afraid. Afraid I had no chance with you.
Jay Asher
You can hear rumors. But you can't know them.
Jay Asher
That's what I love about poetry. The more abstract, the better. The stuff where you're not sure what the poet's talking about. You may have an idea, but you can't be sure. Not a hundred percent. Each word, specifically chosen, could have a million different meanings.
Jay Asher
When you try rescuing someone and discover they can't be reached, why would you ever throw that back in their face?
Jay Asher
But I need to wake up somehow. Or maybe not. Maybe it’s best to get through the day half-asleep. Maybe that’s the only way to get through today.
Jay Asher
You don't know what goes on in anyone's life but your own.
Jay Asher
I sat. And I thought. And the more I thought, connecting the events in my life, the more my heart collapsed.
Jay Asher
Every reader is different. There's no book that's inappropriate for every person, but there are people who cannot handle everything.
Jay Asher
I wanted people to trust me, despite anything they'd heard. And more than that, I wanted them to know me. Not the stuff they thought they knew about me. No, the real me. I wanted them to get past the rumors. To see beyond the relationships I once had, or maybe still had but that they didn't agree with.
Jay Asher
It's important to be aware of how we treat others. Even though someone appears to shrug off a sideways comment or to not be affected by a rumor, it's impossible to know everything else going on in that person's life, how we might be adding to his/her pain. People do have an impact on the lives of others that's undeniable.
Jay Asher
I hope you're ready, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why.
Jay Asher
Everything seemed good, but I knew it had the potential to be awful.
Jay Asher
And what if in the future we're at war again, or we still haven't elected a non-white or non-male president, or the Rolling Stones are still dragging their tired old butts on stage? That would depress me way too much.
Jay Asher
I swear, guys in groups are capable of the stupidest things. Like war, Kellan says, heaping napkins and ketchup packets onto her tray. And jumping off rooftops. And lighting their farts on fire, she says.
Jay Asher
What the hell happened to Pluto?!
Jay Asher
And after I dropped him off, I took the longest possible route home... I explored alleys and hidden roads I never knew existed. I discovered neighborhoods entirely new to me. And finally... I discovered I was sick of this town and everything in it.
Jay Asher
And it feels strange, almost sad, to walk through ther empty halls. Each step I take sounds so lonely.
Jay Asher
And at some point, the struggle becomes too much-too tiring-and you consider letting go. Allowing tragedy... or whatever... to happen.
Jay Asher
