الحب يعني أن تهتم بسعادة شخص آخر أكثر من اهتمامك بسعادتك أنت... - Nicholas Sparks, Dear John

"The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last."

"I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be."

"We’d met at a carefree time, a moment full of promise, in its place now were the harsh lessons of the real world."

"I'd learned that some things are best kept secret."

"You're a hero and a gentleman, you're kind and honest, but more than that, you're the first man I ever truly loved. And no matter what the future brings, you always will be, and I know that my life is better for it."
