She left for Juilliard the day after Labor Day. I drove her to the airport. She kissed me good-bye. She told me that she loved me more than life itself. Then she stepped through security. She never came back.

Nothing happens without intention, Willem. Nothing. This theory of yours - life is rules by accidents - isn't that just one huge excuse for passivity?
Gayle Forman

Willem tsk-tsks. You Americans are so violent. I'm Dutch. The worst I will do is run her over with a bicycle.
Gayle Forman

If these walls could talk, I wonder what secrets they'd tell.

Sometimes the wind blows you places you weren't expecting: sometimes it blows you away from those places, too.

I think you're the sort of person who finds money on the ground and waves it in the air and asks if anyone has lost it. I think you cry in movies that aren't even sad because you have a soft heart, though you don't let it show. I think you do things that scare you, and that makes you braver than those adrenaline junkies who bungee-jump off bridges.

And that's when I understand that I have been stained. Whether I'm still in love with him, whether he was ever in love with me, and no matter who he's in love with now, Willem changed my life. He showed me how to get lost, and then I showed myself how to get found.

By that point, it’ll have been more than year since I met Lulu. Any sane person would say it’s too late. It already felt too late that first day, when I woke up in the hospital. But even so, I’ve kept looking. I’m still looking.

You forget, time doesn't exist anymore. You gave it to me.

Pictures can be pretty deceptive.
Gayle Forman

And that's just it, isn't it? That's how we manage to survive the loss. Because love, it never dies, it never goes away, it never fades, so long as you hang on to it.

Traveling is not something you are good at. It is something you do. Like breathing.
Gayle Forman
Image
She said if she couldn't play, she had nothing left. What about me?
Gayle Forman
Image
If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?
Gayle Forman
Image
I think everything is happening all the time, but if you don't put yourself in the path of it, you miss it. When you travel, you put yourself out there. It's not always great. Sometimes it's terrible. But other times ... [...] It's not so bad.

Closure. I loathe that word.
Gayle Forman

It's quiet now. So quiet that can almost hear other people's dreams.
