More quotes by Gayle Forman
If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?
Gayle Forman
Travelling is like a talent, like whistling or dancing. And some people have it.
Gayle Forman
The politeness was painful. I wanted to push through it, to return to the glow of the night of the concert, but I was unsure of how to get back there.
Gayle Forman
He looks at one of the pictures for a long time. Then he looks at me. I'll keep you up here. He taps his temple. Where you can't get lost.
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
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
But then Mason touches my neck, to the spot on it where the cut from that night has since healed, and I pull away. He was right, after all it didn't leave a scar, though part of me wishes it had. At least I'd have some evidence, some justification of this permanence. Stains are even worse when you're the only one who can see them.
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
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
We were both music-obsessed, each in our own way. If we didn't entirely understand the other person's obsession, it didn't matter, because we understood our own.
Gayle Forman
A day might just be twenty-four hours but sometimes getting through one seems as impossible as scaling Everest.
Gayle Forman
I'm not choosing, but I'm running out of fight.
Gayle Forman
Letting go. Everyone talks about it like it's the easiest thing. Unfurl your fingers one by one until your hand is open.
Gayle Forman
It takes certain kind of naiveté, or perhaps just stupidity, to know things will end and still hope otherwise.
Gayle Forman
Sacrifice, that's what we do for the people we love.
Gayle Forman
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.
Gayle Forman
If I stay. If I live. It's up to me.
Gayle Forman
But seventeen is an inconvenient time to fall in love.
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
Needle and thread flesh and bone Spit and sinew, heartbreak is home. Your suture lines, they sparkle like diamonds Bright stars to light my confinement Stitch.
Gayle Forman
