More quotes by Nicholas Sparks
Our lives can't be measured by our final years, of this I am sure.
Nicholas Sparks
I tend to be pretty efficient with my time. I work on a novel for four to five hours a day, and then the rest of my day is spent doing other things, whether it's spending time with my family, or going through and making notes on the script, or working on the marketing. It's just a matter of scheduling.
Nicholas Sparks
I love you, Katie. You might not be ready to say those words now, and maybe you'll never be able to say them, but that doesn't change how I feel about you.
Nicholas Sparks
Perfect love did that to a person, and this had been perfect.
Nicholas Sparks
When I look in the mirror, I know I’m looking at someone who isn’t sure she deserves to be loved at all.
Nicholas Sparks
She wasn't, nor ever had been, under the illusion that marriage was a relationship characterized by endless bliss and romance. Throw any two people together, add the inevitable ups and downs, give the mixture a vigorous stir, and a few stormy arguments were inevitable, no matter how the couple loved each other.
Nicholas Sparks
Jamie: You know what I figured out today? Landon: What? Jamie: Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel.
Nicholas Sparks
I got the sense that he was the kind of person who couldn't hold anger for more than a few minutes, because it just wasn't in him. It could never grow into resentment or bitterness, and I knew then that he was the kind of man who would be married forever. And I decided then and there that I should be the one to marry him.
Nicholas Sparks
Always stick to the story. It was when you started backtracking that people got in trouble. Interrogation 101.
Nicholas Sparks
How can I tell them that I love them if I'm no longer there?
Nicholas Sparks
He took a few steps before responding. You are special, he finally said, and the way e said it made her wonder if he wanted to add something else.
Nicholas Sparks
because everybody lies. It's part of living in society .
Nicholas Sparks
You really love her don't you, she said. With all my heart. She looked as sad as I'd ever seen her. What's your heart telling you to do? I don't know. Maybe, she said gently,You're trying to hard to hear it.
Nicholas Sparks
A surprise trigonometry quiz that everyone in class fails? Must be in the Lord’s plan to give us challenges.
Nicholas Sparks
In all my life, I'd never been as sure of anything, and as much as I hoped to one day hear Savannah say these words to me, what mattered most was knowing that love was mine to give, without strings or expectations.
Nicholas Sparks
Throughout it all, I loved her as much as I always had, and I found myself aching for those simpler times of the past. I knew what was happening, of course. As we were drifting apart, I was becoming more desperate to save what we once had shared like a vicious circle, however, my desperation made us drift apart even further.
Nicholas Sparks
He was a wonderful man. And when a man is that special, you know it sooner than you think possible. You recognize it instinctively, and you're certain that no matter what happens, there will never be another one like him.
Nicholas Sparks
The key to happiness is achievable dreams.
Nicholas Sparks
But...as bad as it was, I learned something about myself. That I could go through something like that and survive. I mean, I know it could have been worse--a lot worse-- but for me, it was all I could have handled at the time. And I learned from it.
Nicholas Sparks
Everything around me makes me miss you.
Nicholas Sparks
