She left for Juilliard the day after Labor Day. I drove her to the airport. She kissed me good-bye. She told me that she loved me more than life itself. Then she stepped through security. She never came back.

More quotes by Gayle Forman
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 can change in one day. We can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in one day.
Gayle Forman
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
...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.
Gayle Forman
Travelling is like a talent, like whistling or dancing. And some people have it.
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
It's a good thing Kerry's dead, because that funeral would've sent him over the edge, Henry said.
Gayle Forman
Forward momentum. That's my new motto. No regrets. And no going back.
Gayle Forman
I don't know who I am. Or maybe I do know who I am and I just don't want to be her anymore.
Gayle Forman
It was selfish what I asked her to do, even if it wound up being the most unselfish thing I've ever done.
Gayle Forman
If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?
Gayle Forman
I like French fries, I say. I like French fries? I sound like a slow child in a made-for-TV movie.
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
It's ok if you want to stop fighting.
Gayle Forman
Willem tsk-tsks. You Americans are so violent. I'm Dutch. The worst I will do is run her over with a bicycle.
Gayle Forman
I don't hate you. I don't think I ever really did. It was just anger. And once I faced it head-on, once understood it, it dissipated. -Mia
Gayle Forman
Sarcasm creates a chasm between yourself and others.
Gayle Forman
Sleep would be so welcome. A warm blanket of black to erase everything else. Sleep without dreams. I've heard people talk about the sleep of the dead. Is that what death would feel like? The nicest, warmest, heaviest never-ending nap? If that's what it's like, I wouldn't mind. If that's what dying is like, I wouldn't mind that at all.
Gayle Forman
If I stay. If I live. It's up to me.
Gayle Forman
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
