More quotes by 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
And our lips. There isn't enough skin, enough spit, enough time, for the lost years that our lips are trying to make up for as they find each other. We kiss. The electric current switches to high. The lights throughout all of Brooklyn must be surging.
Gayle Forman
Okay, maybe this was the meant to be: the universe I knew, loved nothing more than balance.
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
I don’t discount a magical hand of fate. I am an actor, after all, and a Shakespearian, no less. But it can’t be the ruling force of your life. You have to be the driver.
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
Closure. I loathe that word.
Gayle Forman
The little things that happen. Sometimes they're insignificant other times, they change everything.
Gayle Forman
And I kissed him back so hard, like I was trying to merge our bodies through our lips.
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
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
I needed to hate someone and you’re the one I love the most, so it fell on you.
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
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
If I stay. If I live. It’s up to me. All this business about medically induced comas is just doctor talk. It’s not up to the doctors. It’s not up to the absentee angels. It’s not even up to God who, if He exists, is nowhere around right now. It’s up to me.
Gayle Forman
But I also know that sometimes Adam needs to do things the dramatic way. He is fond of the Grand Gesture
Gayle Forman
These days, you’ve gotta milk a dollar out of every dime.
Gayle Forman
She said if she couldn't play, she had nothing left. What about me?
Gayle Forman
It's quiet now. So quiet that can almost hear other people's dreams.
Gayle Forman
There were signs. Probably more of them than I ever caught, even after the fact. But I missed them all. Maybe because I wasn’t looking for them. I was too busy checking over my shoulder at the fire I’d just come through to pay much attention to the thousand-foot cliff looming in front of me.
