More quotes by Jay Asher
I left. When I should have stayed.
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
Everything...affects everything
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
And as I stood there in the hallway―alone―trying to understand what had just happened and why, I realized the truth: I wasn't worth an explanation―not even a reaction. Not in your eyes.
Jay Asher
We didn't get that chance because I was afraid. Afraid I had no chance with you.
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
And here he is again, yet things feel like they'll never be as easy between us as they once were.
Jay Asher
Fun drunks make a nice addition to any party. Not looking to fight. Not looking to score. Just looking to get drunk and laugh.
Jay Asher
And everyone knows you can’t disprove a rumor.
Jay Asher
All you really have... is now.
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 want to collapse. I want to fall on the sidewalk right there and drag myself to the ivy.
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
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
We all know the sound a camera makes when it snaps a picture. Even some of the digitals do it for nostalgia’s sake.
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
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
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
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.
Jay Asher
