Gayle Forman
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.
Gayle Forman
About being grateful for what you have instead of yearning for what you think you want.
Gayle Forman
Can you move on from something when you're not sure what it is you're moving on from?
Gayle Forman
One day she told me that they'd decided that my gender was divvied into two neat piles-Men and Guys. Basically, all the saints of the world: Men. The jerks, the players, the wet T-shirt contest aficionados? They were Guys.
Gayle Forman
A day might just be twenty-four hours but sometimes getting through one seems as impossible as scaling Everest.
Gayle Forman
It's okay if you want to go. Everyone wants you to stay. I want you to stay more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. But that's what I want and I could see why it might not be what you want. So I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It's okay if you have to leave us. It's okay if you want to stop fighting.
Gayle Forman
I'm not choosing, but I'm running out of fight.
Gayle Forman
I have a feeling that once you live through something like this, you become a little bit invincible.
