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
We were both music-obsessed, each in our own way. If we didn't entirely understand the other person's obsession, it didn't matter, because we understood our own.
Gayle Forman
But seventeen is an inconvenient time to fall in love.
Gayle Forman
Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely
Gayle Forman
I don’t want to be that person, who just takes things.
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
But I also know that sometimes Adam needs to do things the dramatic way. He is fond of the Grand Gesture
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
You just work through it. You just hang in there.
Gayle Forman
Doubt is part of searching. Same as faith.
Gayle Forman
Really? Was that how you quit me?
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
Okay, maybe this was the meant to be: the universe I knew, loved nothing more than balance.
Gayle Forman
Travelling is like a talent, like whistling or dancing. And some people have it.
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
About being grateful for what you have instead of yearning for what you think you want.
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
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
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
She said if she couldn't play, she had nothing left. What about me?
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.
