More quotes by Jay Asher
And what about you-the rest of you-did you notice the scars you left behind? No. Probably not. Because most of them can't be seen with the naked eye.
Jay Asher
You don't know what goes on in anyone's life but your own.
Jay Asher
You can hear rumors. But you can't know them.
Jay Asher
That's why you did it. You wanted your world to collapse around you. You wanted everything to get as dark as possible.
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
When you write a book for publication, you're writing it for other people to read.
Jay Asher
It was love because it was worth it.
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
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
After all, how often do we get a second chance?
Jay Asher
I want to collapse. I want to fall on the sidewalk right there and drag myself to the ivy.
Jay Asher
Sometimes we have thoughts that even we don't understand. Thoughts that aren't even true—that aren't really how we feel—but they're running through our heads anyway because they're interesting to think about.
Jay Asher
Because our lies matched. It was a sign.
Jay Asher
I could picture life—school and everything else—continuing on without me. But I could not picture my funeral. Not at all. Mostly because I couldn’t imagine who would attend or what they would say.
Jay Asher
A flood of emotions rushes into me. Pain and anger. Sadness and pity. But most surprising of all, hope.
Jay Asher
Whenever I'm out late she makes a sandwich for my school lunch. I always protest and tell her not to, saying I'll make my own when I get home. But she likes it. She says it reminds her of when I was younger and needed her.
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
And here he is again, yet things feel like they'll never be as easy between us as they once were.
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
Everything seemed good, but I knew it had the potential to be awful.
Jay Asher
