More quotes by 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
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
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
It was love because it was worth it.
Jay Asher
This time, for the first time, I saw the possibilities in giving up. I even found hope in 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
I take a slow sip of lukewarm coffee, reopen the book, and read the words scribbled in red ink near the top: Everyone needs an olly-olly-oxen-free.
Jay Asher
How many times had I let myself connect with someone only to have it thrown back in my face?
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
Josh will begin disappearing into a future where the only place he and I remain friends is on the Internet.
Jay Asher
Actually, I love trying to figure out why certain books become hits while others, which may be just as good, have trouble finding an audience.
Jay Asher
Stories about sensitive issues like sex, drugs or sexual assault, suicide and teen drinking, are often censored because people just don't want to talk about those things. It's not that these things don't happen, but when they're shared in a fictional setting, for some reason they make some people uncomfortable.
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
I miss video games where the jump-kick was the trickiest combo to master.
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
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
If I had a chance with him, I missed it. No, I didn't miss it. I threw it away.
Jay Asher
The Golden Rule will always be good advice!
Jay Asher
Everything seemed good, but I knew it had the potential to be awful.
Jay Asher
Because when you're posed, you know someone's watching. You put on your very best smile. You let your sweetest personality shine.
Jay Asher
