More quotes by Jay Asher
The Golden Rule will always be good advice!
Jay Asher
If time was a string connecting all of your stories, that party would be the point where everything knots up. And that knot keeps growing and growing, getting more and more tangled, dragging the rest of your stories into it.
Jay Asher
But you can't get away from yourself. You can't decide not to see yourself anymore. You can't decide to turn off the noise in your head.
Jay Asher
Did the poet use red to symbolize blood? Anger? Lust? Or is the wheelbarrow simply red because red sounded better than black?
Jay Asher
All you really have... is now.
Jay Asher
A week went by and nothing. But eventually, as they always will, the rumors reached me. And everyone knows you can't disprove a rumor.
Jay Asher
It's nothing. A school project. My go-to answer for anything. Staying out late? School project. Need extra money? School project.
Jay Asher
What the hell happened to Pluto?!
Jay Asher
Maybe it didn’t seem like a big deal to you Zach. But now, I hope you understand. My world was collapsing. I needed those notes. I needed any hope those notes might have offered. And you? You took that hope away. You decided I didn’t deserve to have it.
Jay Asher
And it feels strange, almost sad, to walk through ther empty halls. Each step I take sounds so lonely.
Jay Asher
I simply wanted a kiss. I was a freshman girl who had never been kissed. Never. But I liked the boy, he liked me, and I was going to kiss him. That's the story, the whole story, right there.
Jay Asher
When you write a book for publication, you're writing it for other people to read.
Jay Asher
What you don't understand, you can make mean anything.
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
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
And everyone knows you can’t disprove a rumor.
Jay Asher
You told me I wrote that poem because I was afraid of dealing with myself. And I used my mom as an excuse, accusing her of not appreciating or accepting me, when I should have been saying those words into a mirror.
Jay Asher
How in the world was I alone? Because I wanted to be. That's all I can say. It's all that makes sense to me.
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
Everything seemed good, but I knew it had the potential to be awful.
Jay Asher
