By that point, it’ll have been more than year since I met Lulu. Any sane person would say it’s too late. It already felt too late that first day, when I woke up in the hospital. But even so, I’ve kept looking. I’m still looking.

More quotes by Gayle Forman
I want to undo this. To make it right. But I have no idea how. I don't seem to know how to open up to people without getting the door slammed in my face. So I do nothing.
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
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
She said if she couldn't play, she had nothing left. What about me?
Gayle Forman
Leaving people to jumped conclusions is sometimes simpler than explaining a complicated truth
Gayle Forman
It's ok 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
It takes certain kind of naiveté, or perhaps just stupidity, to know things will end and still hope otherwise.
Gayle Forman
Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely
Gayle Forman
If these walls could talk, I wonder what secrets they'd tell.
Gayle Forman
Sacrifice, that's what we do for the people we love.
Gayle Forman
The line between true self and feigned self is blurred on all sides. Which I think is a rather handy metaphor for falling in love.
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
Who says I breathe music? Who says I even breathe?
Gayle Forman
That’s the thing you never expect about grieving, what a competition it is.
Gayle Forman
A thousand suns rise from my chest.
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
What would you do if you had to choose?
Gayle Forman
You just work through it. You just hang in there.
Gayle Forman
I have a feeling that once you live through something like this, you become a little bit invincible.
Gayle Forman
