True love is rare, and it's the only thing that gives life r... - Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle

"Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that."

"Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face - I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself."

"I am lost without you. I am soulless, a drifter without a home, a solitary bird in a flight to nowhere. I am all these things, and I am nothing at all. This, my darling, is my life without you. I long for you to show me how to live again."

"If you like her, if she makes you happy, and if you feel like you know her---then don't let her go."

"Theresa, I know there's a part of you that believes you can change someone, but the reality is that you can't. You can change yourself, and Garrett can change himself, but you can't do it for him."
