“If you hear a song that makes you cry and you don't want to cry anymore, you don't listen to that song anymore. 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“Justin, honey, you were my very first kiss. My very first hand to hold. But you were nothing more than an average guy. And I don't say that to be mean- I don't. There was just something about you that made me need to be your girlfriend to this day I don't know exactly what that was. But it was there.. and it was amazingly strong. -Thirteen Reasons Why”
Jay Asher“It's your heart. No one else gets a say in that.”
Jay Asher, What Light“Sierra, it's Christmastime. Put a stupid mistletoe over his head and kiss him already!”
Jay Asher, What Light“We almost bumped into each other. But your eyes were down so you didn't know it was me. And together we said it. "I'm sorry."Then you looked up. You saw me. And there, in your eyes, what was it? Sadness? Pain? You moved around and tried pushing your hair away from your face. Your fingernails were painted dark blue. I watched you walk down the long stretch of hallway. I stood there and watched you disappear. Forever.”
Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why“I miss the newness of Magic Eye posters, which really are amazing.”
Jay Asher“I had written a book that dealt with really serious issues. Was anybody going to want to read a Christmas love story from me?”
Jay Asher“I thought I was going to be known for my humor. But then I had an idea for a story, which was absolutely not humorous. But, of course, that's the one that sells and becomes big.”
Jay Asher“I think there's always room for humor, especially when you're talking about really serious issues.”
Jay Asher“But now it’s too late.And that’s why, right at this moment, I feel so much hate. Toward myself. I deserve to be on this list. Because if I hadn’t been so afraid of everyone else, I might have told Hannah that someone cared. And Hannah might still be alive.I pull my gaze back from the neon sign.”
Jay Asher“After all, how often do we get a second chance?”
