You can have your wishes, your plans, but at the end of the day, it's out of your control -Mia
Gayle Forman

You meet people, you part ways, sometimes you cross paths again. Mostly, you don't.
Gayle Forman
Image
I think you're the sort of person who finds money on the ground and waves it in the air and asks if anyone has lost it. 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.

But I'd do it again. I know that now. I'd make that promise a thousand times over and lose her a thousand times over to have heard her play last night or to see her in the morning sunlight. Or even without that. Just to know that she's somewhere out there. Alive.

Image
Then I smell the sweat on him, a clean musky scent that I'd bottle and wear as perfume if I could.
Gayle Forman
Image
Really? Was that how you quit me?
Gayle Forman
Image
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
Image
Willem, I suspect deep down you know exactly why you're here, exactly what you want, but you're unwilling to the wanting, let alone the having. Because both of those propositions are terrifying.
Gayle Forman
Image
And I kissed him back so hard, like I was trying to merge our bodies through our lips.

Pictures can be pretty deceptive.
Gayle Forman
Image
Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.
Gayle Forman
Image
How can it be so unclear to her when it's like the fingers on my hand to me?
Gayle Forman
Image
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
Image
Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely
Gayle Forman
Image
I don't hate you. I don't think I ever really did. It was just anger. And once I faced it head-on, once understood it, it dissipated. -Mia
