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

Gayle Forman
All relationships are tough. Just like with music, sometimes you have harmony and other times you have cacophony.
Gayle Forman
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.
Gayle Forman
Travelling is like a talent, like whistling or dancing. And some people have it.
Gayle Forman
Closure. I loathe that word.
Gayle Forman
