Quote

There are guys who grow up thinking they'll settle down some distant time in the future, and there are guys who are ready for marriage as soon as they meet the right person. The former bore me, mainly because they're pathetic and the latter, frankly are hard to find.

People didn't change. they liked what they liked even if they didn't understand why.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
Nothing is really lost or can be lost, No birth, identity, form--no object of the world, Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing... The body, sluggish, aged , cold--the embers left from early fires, ...shall duly flame again
Nicholas Sparks

If you like her, if she makes you happy, and if you feel like you know her---then don't let her go.

The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy. In my mind it’s a little bit of both, and no matter how you choose to view it in the end, it does not change the fact that it involves a great deal of my life and the path I’ve chosen to follow.

You're a wonderful person, Jamie. You're beautiful, you're kind, you're gentle...you're everything that I'd like to be. If people don't like you, or they think you're strange, then that's their problem.

You never answered my question, about what you want to do with your life. Maybe my dreams aren't that complicated. Maybe I think that a job is just a job. What does that mean? Maybe I don't want to be defined by what I do. Maybe I'd like to be defined by what I am.

I don't know that I've ever felt as happy as I did that day, but then again, it was always like that when we were together. I never wanted it to end.

Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence.

The movies are fun, but I'm a novelist. In many ways, screenwriting is much easier than writing novels. I find screenplays twenty times easier to write than a novel.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
You and I were different. We came from different worlds, and yet you were the one how taught me the value of love. You showed me what it was like to care for another, and I am a better man because of it. I don't want you to ever forget that.

Change not only was inevitable, but usually brought its own rewards.

Everyone always noticed Ashley. She was like a flashing neon sign for anyone with an ounce of testosterone.

I guess I'm okay with that. But it's not going to be easy for you. They don't have a lot of fishing or mudding around here. I figured. And not a lot of beach volleyball, either. Especially in January. I guess I'll have to make some sacrifices. Maybe if you're lucky, we can find you some other ways to occupy your time.

By the time she got back to work, the only thing Gabby knew for certain was that as forgiving as he'd been, she'd never live down what she'd done, and since there wasn't a rock large enough to crawl under, it was in her best interest to find a way to avoid him.

People are self-absorbed. I think that the mass ability of communication now probably allows individuals to meet more self-absorbed individuals. It has certainly changed the way that people meet.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
Comfort and familiarity were wonderful but they also dulled passion and excitement. Predictability and habit made surprises almost impossible.
Nicholas Sparks

We’d met at a carefree time, a moment full of promise, in its place now were the harsh lessons of the real world.
