Thirteen Reasons why

Thirteen Reasons why by Jay Asher

- "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."

- "No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same."

- "You can't stop the future

You can't rewind the past

The only way to learn the secret

...is to press play."

- "A lot of you cared, just not enough."

- "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."

- "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."

- "You can't go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is...now."

- "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."

- "Everything...affects everything"

- " 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."

- "It's hard to be disappointed when what you expected turns out to be true."

- "Soul Alone by Hannah Baker

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
