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.

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

Maybe you didn't know what people thought of you because they themselves didn't know what they thought of you. Maybe you didn't give us enough to go on, Hannah.
Jay Asher
Image
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
Image
All you really have... is now.
Jay Asher

I decided to find out how people at school might react if one of the students never came back.
Jay Asher
Image
Teens in the '90s had the same basic desires as they do now.
Jay Asher
Image
After all, how often do we get a second chance?
Jay Asher
Image
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
Image
We both laugh. And it feels good. A release. Like laughing at a funeral. Maybe inappropriate, but definitely needed.
Jay Asher
Image
A lot of you cared, just not enough.
Jay Asher
Image
Because I've heard so many stories that I don't know which one is the most popular. But I do know which is the least popular. The truth.
