The best Quotes by Jay Asher

Soul Alone

I meet your eyes
you don't even see me
You hardly respond
when I whisper
hello
Could be my soul mate
two kindred spirits
Maybe we're not
I guess we'll never
know

My own mother
you carried me in you
Now you see nothing
but what I wear
People ask you
how I'm doing
You smile and nod
don't let it end
there

Put me
underneath God's sky and
know me
don't just see me with your eyes
Take away
this mask of flesh and bone and
See me
for my soul
alone

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've heard so many stories about me now that I don't know which one is the most popular. But I do know which is the least popular: the truth.

Some of you cared. None of you cared enough.

Pardon me, but you really hurt my feelings.

I am scared, 'cause I don't know how to fly. But you're there at the bottom of the slide to catch me when I fall.

Clay: "I cost a girl her life because I was afraid to love her."
Mr. Porter: "You can't love someone back to life."
Clay: "You can try."

New Mexico. It's another state. I mean, it's like California, just less traffic.

We all have our little faults. Mine's in California.

All creative people should be required to leave California for three months every year.

Helsinki may not be as cold as you make it out to be, but California is still a lot nicer. I don't remember the last time I couldn't walk around in shorts all day.

The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion real live here in only the most temporary way.

Things are tough all over, cupcake. An' it rains on the just an' the unjust alike... except in California.

I think sometimes we aren't keeping secrets to hide from other people. I think sometimes we're keeping them to protect those people.
