More quotes by Nicholas Sparks
I don't write romance novels.
Nicholas Sparks
Stories are as unique as the people who tell them, and the best stories are in which the ending is a surprise.
Nicholas Sparks
Whenever I work on a film, I have three rules. Only three and I tell them to every screenwriter. I say let's retain the spirit and the intent of the overall story. Let's make it the best film that we possibly can.
Nicholas Sparks
The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.
Nicholas Sparks
I don't know if spirits do indeed roam the world, but even if they do, I will sense your presence everywhere. When I listen to the ocean, it will be your whispers when I see a dazzling sunset, it will be your image in the sky.
Nicholas Sparks
Perfect love did that to a person, and this had been perfect.
Nicholas Sparks
Regrets about the journey, maybe, but not the destination.
Nicholas Sparks
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
Unless you had a popular video on YouTube or could perform shows in front of thousands, musical ability meant nothing.
Nicholas Sparks
You'll make mistakes and struggle like everyone, but when you are with the right person, you'll almost perfect joy, like you are the luckiest person who ever lived. And that means you'll love and be loved...and in the end, nothing else really matters.
Nicholas Sparks
Some things definitely work better on film than in books. Introspection is great in books but it doesn't work on film. Anything with high intensity, whether it's a love scene, a car chase, a fight scene - those things work so well on film and oftentimes they can tell a much broader part of the story.
Nicholas Sparks
Always stick to the story. It was when you started backtracking that people got in trouble. Interrogation 101.
Nicholas Sparks
I don't care if your dad is the Sultan of Brunei. You happened to be born into a privileged family. What you do with that truth is completely up to you. I'm here because I want to be with you. But if I didn't, all the money in the world wouldn't have changed my feelings for you.
Nicholas Sparks
And here it will end, one way or the other, she whispered again
Nicholas Sparks
I suppose more than anything, it's the way of life in this part of the country that influences my writing. In Eastern North Carolina, with the exception of Wilmington, most people live in small towns.
Nicholas Sparks
He thought of her often, and he missed the companionship they'd once shared and the friendship that had been the bedrock of their marriage at its best.
Nicholas Sparks
By reading a lot of novels in a variety of genres, and asking questions, it's possible to learn how things are done - the mechanics of writing, so to speak - and which genres and authors excel in various areas.
Nicholas Sparks
I'm not sure anyone's life turns out exactly the way they imagine. All we can do is to try to make the best of it. Even when it seems impossible.
Nicholas Sparks
I've come to understand that arguing with [my wife] about it has never solved anything. So instead of denying it, I've learned to take her hands, look her in the eyes, and respond with those three magic words every woman wants to hear: You're right, sweetheart.
Nicholas Sparks
And for the briefest instant, it almost feels like we're together again.
