The main thing I wanted to say, and thankfully it’s what most people say they get out of the book, is simply an acknowledgement that we do affect each other in ways we can’t predict.
Jay Asher
Image
After all, how often do we get a second chance?
Jay Asher
Image
If I had a chance with him, I missed it. No, I didn't miss it. I threw it away.
Jay Asher
Image
A flood of emotions rushes into me. Pain and anger. Sadness and pity. But most surprising of all, hope.
Jay Asher
Image
All you really have... is now.
Jay Asher
Image
How many times had I let myself connect with someone only to have it thrown back in my face?
Jay Asher
Image
But they were wrong. There was a reason.
Jay Asher
Image
Maybe it's not as important to you as it was for me, but that's not for you to decide.
Jay Asher
Image
You can't go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is...now.
Jay Asher
Image
I want to look back. To look over my shoulder and see the Stop sign with huge reflective letters, pleading with Hannah. Stop!
Jay Asher

You don't know what goes on in anyone's life but your own.
Jay Asher
Image
I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like interconnected websites where people show their photos and write about everything going on in their lives, like whether they found a parking spot or what they ate for breakfast. But why? Josh asks.
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.

I miss video games where the jump-kick was the trickiest combo to master.
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.

Do you remember the last thing you said to me? The last thing you did to me? And what was the last thing I said to you? Because trust me when I said it I knew it was the last thing I’d ever say.
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.

You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything.

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.

I left. When I should have stayed.
