More quotes by David Nicholls, One Day

"This is me.’"He handed her the precious scrap of paper. ‘Call me or I’ll call you, but one of us will call, yes? What I mean is it’s not a competition. You don’t lose if you phone first"
"She drinks pints of coffee and writes little observations and ideas for stories with her best fountain pen on the linen-white pages of expensive notebooks. Sometimes, when it's going badly, she wonders if what she believes to be a love of the written word is really just a fetish for stationery."
"Dexter, I love you so much. So, so much, and I probably always will. I just don't like you anymore. I'm sorry."
"Call me sentimental, but there's no-one in the world that I'd like to see get dysentery more than you"
"You can live your whole life not realizing that what you're looking for is right in front of you."
