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

We were both music-obsessed, each in our own way. If we didn't entirely understand the other person's obsession, it didn't matter, because we understood our own.

If I stay. If I live. It's up to me.
Gayle Forman

But I'd do it again. I know that now. I'd make that promise a thousand times over and lose her a thousand times over to have heard her play last night or to see her in the morning sunlight. Or even without that. Just to know that she's somewhere out there. Alive.

Love can make you immortal
Gayle Forman
Image
Willem, I suspect deep down you know exactly why you're here, exactly what you want, but you're unwilling to the wanting, let alone the having. Because both of those propositions are terrifying.
Gayle Forman
Image
In the calculus of feelings, you never really know how one person's absence will affect you more than another's.
Gayle Forman
Image
Pictures can be pretty deceptive.
Gayle Forman
Image
Doubt is part of searching. Same as faith.
Gayle Forman

Travelling is like a talent, like whistling or dancing. And some people have it.
Gayle Forman
Image
But then Mason touches my neck, to the spot on it where the cut from that night has since healed, and I pull away. He was right, after all it didn't leave a scar, though part of me wishes it had. At least I'd have some evidence, some justification of this permanence. Stains are even worse when you're the only one who can see them.
