Nicholas Sparks

"Yes... it wasn't over, it still isn't over."

"Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else."

"If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, making time spent together a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale."

"All of sudden, this shooting star went by, and all I could think was that they were listening to us somehow."

"It is the possibility that keeps me going, and though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe that anything is possible."

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever"

"You should read something else."Why would he have done that to him?"I don't know,"she said.Do you ever feel like Job?"She smiled, a little twinkle in her eyes.Sometimes."But you haven't lost your faith?"No,"I knew she hadn't, but I think I was losing mine.Is it because you think you might get better?"No,"she said,"its because its the only thing I have left."

"He was a wonderful man. And when a man is that special, you know it sooner than you think possible. You recognize it instinctively, and you're certain that no matter what happens, there will never be another one like him."

"The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected."

"When we first met, I didn't want to get involved with anyone. I didn't have the time or energy, and I wasn't sure that I was ready for it. But you were so good to me, and I got swept up in that. And little by little, I found myself falling in love with you."

"I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change."

"Do you know what you're saying when you say, "Whatever"? It's just a code word for the f-word, followed by "you."And at your age, you never, ever. say that to anyone.' "Blaze leaned back. "So now, when someone says it to me, I just say, 'You too.' (72)"

"I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change."

"I'd love to, she finally said,"on one condition."I steadied myself, hoping it wasn't something too awful."Yes?""You have to promise that you won't fall in love with me."I knew she was kidding me by the way she laughed, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Sometimes, I had to admit, Jamie had a pretty good sense of humor.I smiled and gave her my word."

"You really love her don't you,"she said.With all my heart."She looked as sad as I'd ever seen her.What's your heart telling you to do?"I don't know."Maybe", she said gently,"You're trying to hard to hear it."
