More quotes by Gayle Forman
A thousand suns rise from my chest.
Gayle Forman
This is myself, baby. All of my selves. I own each and every one of them. I know who I'm pretending to be and who I am. The look he gives me is withering. Do you?
Gayle Forman
Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely
Gayle Forman
Needle and thread flesh and bone Spit and sinew, heartbreak is home. Your suture lines, they sparkle like diamonds Bright stars to light my confinement Stitch.
Gayle Forman
I know that all the magic kisses in the world probably couldn't have helped him today. But I would do anything to have been able to give him one.
Gayle Forman
I realize it’s not just Willem I’m looking for it’s Lulu too.
Gayle Forman
Then I smell the sweat on him, a clean musky scent that I'd bottle and wear as perfume if I could.

Gayle Forman

Gayle Forman

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
Travelling is like a talent, like whistling or dancing. And some people have it.
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
The truth and its opposite are flip sides of the same coin.
Gayle Forman
I'm also starting to wonder something else. If maybe the point of this crazy quest I'm on wasn't to help me find Willem. Maybe it was to help me find someone else entirely.
Gayle Forman
Doubt is part of searching. Same as faith.
Gayle Forman
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.
Gayle Forman
It feels like the city is telling secrets down here, privy only to those who think to listen.
Gayle Forman
Love can make you immortal
