Gayle Forman
Someone wake me when it's over When the evening silence softens golden Just lay me on bed of dover Oh, I need help with this burden Hush
Gayle Forman
I needed to hate someone and you’re the one I love the most, so it fell on you.
Gayle Forman
So are you moving on now? Is that what brought you to the grand metropolis of Valladolid?” “No. The wind just blew me here.” “What? Like a plastic bag?” “I prefer to think of myself as a ship. Like a sailboat.
Gayle Forman
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
Anything can happen in one day.
Gayle Forman
It takes certain kind of naiveté, or perhaps just stupidity, to know things will end and still hope otherwise.
Gayle Forman
He looks at one of the pictures for a long time. Then he looks at me. I'll keep you up here. He taps his temple. Where you can't get lost.
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
