Gayle Forman
If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?
Gayle Forman
How can it be so unclear to her when it's like the fingers on my hand to me?
Gayle Forman
Pictures can be pretty deceptive.
Gayle Forman
You can have your wishes, your plans, but at the end of the day, it's out of your control -Mia
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
Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.
Gayle Forman
Love can make you immortal
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

Gayle Forman
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
Sacrifice, that's what we do for the people we love.
Gayle Forman
It's a good thing Kerry's dead, because that funeral would've sent him over the edge, Henry said.
Gayle Forman
Traveling is not something you are good at. It is something you do. Like breathing.
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 just work through it. You just hang in there.
Gayle Forman
It's just accidental, just temporary. Until the next accident sends me somewhere new. That's how life works.
