You donโt know what goes on in anyoneโs life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a personโs life, youโre not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you canโt be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a personโs life, youโre messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything.
Jay AsherHere's a tip. If you touch a girl, even as joke, and she pushes you off, leave... her... alone. Don't touch her. Anywhere! Just stop. Your touch does nothing but sicken her.

Jay AsherThatโs what i love about poetry. The more abstract, the better. The stuff were your not sure what the poets talking about. You may have an idea, but you cant be sure. Not a hundred percent. Each word, specifically chosen, could have a million different meanings. Is it a stand-in โa symbol for another idea? Does it fit into a larger, more hidden, metaphor? ...I hated poetry until someone showed me how to appreciate it. He told me to see poetry as a puzzle. Its up to the reader to decipher the code, or the words, based on everything they know about life and emotions.
