More quotes by Gayle Forman
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.
Gayle Forman
You have to fall in love to be in love, but falling in love isn't the same as being in love
Gayle Forman
All relationships are tough. Just like with music, sometimes you have harmony and other times you have cacophony.
Gayle Forman
We can change in one day. We can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in one day.
Gayle Forman
It's ok if you want to stop fighting.
Gayle Forman
I don’t want to be that person, who just takes things.
Gayle Forman
Why get stained when getting dirty is so much more fun
Gayle Forman
Girlfriend is such a stupid word. I couldn't stand calling her that. So, we had to get married, so I could call her 'wife.
Gayle Forman
And I kissed him back so hard, like I was trying to merge our bodies through our lips.
Gayle Forman
It feels like the city is telling secrets down here, privy only to those who think to listen.
Gayle Forman
My stomach lurched, an appetizer before the full portion of heartache I had a feeling was going to be served at some point soon.
Gayle Forman
Okay, maybe this was the meant to be: the universe I knew, loved nothing more than balance.
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
I want to ask him where that kitchen is. Where he's from. But he seems guarded. Or maybe it's me. Maybe making friends is a specific skill, and I missed the lesson.
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
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
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 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
Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.
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.
