More quotes by Gayle Forman
Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.
Gayle Forman

Gayle Forman
Life might take you down different roads. But each of you gets to decide which one to take.
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
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.

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
Love is not something you protect. It’s something you risk.

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
I'm not sure this is a world I belong in anymore. I'm not sure that I want to wake up.
Gayle Forman
Willem tsk-tsks. You Americans are so violent. I'm Dutch. The worst I will do is run her over with a bicycle.
Gayle Forman
I realize then that it's not enough to know what someone is called. You have to know who they are.
Gayle Forman
Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely
Gayle Forman
But what if Shakespeare― and Hamlet― were asking the wrong question? What if the real question is not whether to be, but how to be?
Gayle Forman
Leaving people to jumped conclusions is sometimes simpler than explaining a complicated truth
Gayle Forman
Closure. I loathe that word.
Gayle Forman
...no way through it but through it, I tell myself.
Gayle Forman
I’ve been feeling something else. Like I’m about to be sucked into something powerful and painful.
Gayle Forman
Obey the muse, Liz said. She's a fickle mistress.
