I know that all the magic kisses in the world probably couldn't have helped him today. But I would do anything to have been able to give him one.
Gayle Forman
...no way through it but through it, I tell myself.
Gayle Forman
These days, you’ve gotta milk a dollar out of every dime.
Gayle Forman
Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.
Gayle Forman
I’ve been feeling something else. Like I’m about to be sucked into something powerful and painful.
Gayle Forman
Willem holds my wrist for a long moment, looking at that birthmark. Then he lifts it to his mouth. And though his lips are soft and his kiss is gentle, it feels like a knife jamming into the electrical socket. It feels like the moment when I go live
Gayle Forman

Gayle Forman
She said if she couldn't play, she had nothing left. What about me?
Gayle Forman
So, this is how it's become? This is how I've become? A walking contradiction? I'm surrounded by people and feel alone. I claim to crave a bit of normalcy but now that I have some, it's like I don't know what to do with it, I don't know how to be a normal person anymore.
Gayle Forman
If these walls could talk, I wonder what secrets they'd tell.
Gayle Forman
There’s a difference between losing something you knew you had and losing something you discovered you had. One is a disappointment. The other feels like losing a piece of yourself.
Gayle Forman
Anything can happen in one day.
Gayle Forman
She's still beautiful. Not in an obvious Vanessa LeGrande or Byrn Shraeder kind of way. In a quiet way that's always been devastating to me.
Gayle Forman
You stood over me and you made a promise to me, as sacred as any vow. And I can understand why you're angry, but you can't blame me. You can't hate me for taking your word.
Gayle Forman
I'm also starting to wonder something else. If maybe the point of this crazy quest I'm on wasn't to help me find Willem. Maybe it was to help me find someone else entirely.
Gayle Forman
All relationships are tough. Just like with music, sometimes you have harmony and other times you have cacophony.
