More quotes by 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
You can't go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is...now.
Jay Asher
I needed a break... from myself.
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
But sometimes there’s nothing left to do but move on.
Jay Asher
I’m sorry.” Once again, those were the words. And now, anytime someone says I’m sorry, I’m going to think of her.
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 was love because it was worth it.
Jay Asher
If my love were an ocean, there would be no more land. If my love were a desert, you would see only sand. If my love were a star- late at night, only light. And if my love could grow wings, I'd be soaring in flight.
Jay Asher
He looks out into the empty street, allowing me to sit in his car and just miss her. To miss her each time I pull in a breath of air. To miss her with a heart that feels so cold by itself, but warm when thoughts of her flow through me.
Jay Asher
Because it may seem like a small role now, but it matters. In the end, everything matters.
Jay Asher
And here he is again, yet things feel like they'll never be as easy between us as they once were.
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
The longer you wait, and this is true, the slower the hands will move.
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
The road to publication is like a churro - long and bumpy, but sweet.
Jay Asher
After all, how often do we get a second chance?
Jay Asher
Don't give up on me now. I'm sorry. I guess that's an odd thing to say. Because isn't that what I'm doing? Giving up?
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
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
