I want to make her cry and then lick up the tears.
Gayle Forman
Image
My first impulse is not to grab her or kiss her or yell at her. I simple want to touch her cheek, still flushed from the night's performance. I want to cut through the space that separates us, measured in feet-not miles, not continents, not years-and to take a callused finger to her face.
Gayle Forman

I have a feeling that once you live through something like this, you become a little bit invincible.
Gayle Forman
Image
Or maybe it's not a miracle. Maybe this is just life. When you open yourself up to it. When you put yourself in the path of it. When you say yes.
Gayle Forman
Image
Sacrifice, that's what we do for the people we love.
Gayle Forman
Image
You forget, time doesn't exist anymore. You gave it to me.
Gayle Forman
Image
...the world feels so big when you're out in the wide open. It's like you don't have a place in it when you don't have a home. Your place is right here, I whispered, laying down and hugging her close.
