As a tribute, here are several blog posts I've done that reference my gratefulness for these large-headed kids and the mind that created them:

Quotes by Jay Asher  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“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.”
Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

“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.”
Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

“A lot of you cared, just not enough.”
Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why
