Because for that day, I really did become Lulu. Maybe not from the film or the real Louise Brooks, but my own idea of what Lulu represented. Freedom. Daring. Adventure. Saying yes.

It's nice, this. The canal. He looks at me. You. I'll bet you say that to all the canals.
Gayle Forman
You just work through it. You just hang in there.
Gayle Forman
I'll be your mess,you be mine That was the deal that we had signed I bought a hazmat suit to clean up your waste Gas masks,gloves,to keep us safe But now i'm alone in an empty room Staring down immaculate doom Messy
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
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
Willem holds my wrist for a long moment, looking at that birthmark. Then he lifts it to his mouth. And though his lips are soft and his kiss is gentle, it feels like a knife jamming into the electrical socket. It feels like the moment when I go live
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
...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
These days, you’ve gotta milk a dollar out of every dime.
Gayle Forman
Sometimes the wind blows you places you weren't expecting: sometimes it blows you away from those places, too.
Gayle Forman
And that's when I understand that I have been stained. Whether I'm still in love with him, whether he was ever in love with me, and no matter who he's in love with now, Willem changed my life. He showed me how to get lost, and then I showed myself how to get found.
Gayle Forman
In that twisted incestuous way of fate, Mia's a part of our history, and we're among the shards of her legacy.
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
Who says I breathe music? Who says I even breathe?
Gayle Forman
Sarcasm creates a chasm between yourself and others.
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
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
Sacrifice, that's what we do for the people we love.
Gayle Forman
I am adrenaline slammed into inertia: a fast car stuck in traffic.
Gayle Forman
