More quotes by 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
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
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
Traveling is not something you are good at. It is something you do. Like breathing.
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

Love can make you immortal
Gayle Forman
We can change in one day. We can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in one day.
Gayle Forman

Gayle Forman
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

Gayle Forman
I’ve been feeling something else. Like I’m about to be sucked into something powerful and painful.
Gayle Forman
I want to undo this. To make it right. But I have no idea how. I don't seem to know how to open up to people without getting the door slammed in my face. So I do nothing.
Gayle Forman
I think you're the sort of person who finds money on the ground and waves it in the air and asks if anyone has lost it. I think you cry in movies that aren't even sad because you have a soft heart, though you don't let it show. I think you do things that scare you, and that makes you braver than those adrenaline junkies who bungee-jump off bridges.
Gayle Forman
If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?
Gayle Forman
If I stay. If I live. It's up to me.
Gayle Forman
It's nice, this. The canal. He looks at me. You. I'll bet you say that to all the canals.
Gayle Forman
And something tells me if it matters, maybe it shouldn't be easy.
Gayle Forman
This is myself, baby. All of my selves. I own each and every one of them. I know who I'm pretending to be and who I am. The look he gives me is withering. Do you?
Gayle Forman
What would you do if you had to choose?
