We fell in love despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.

Always stick to the story. It was when you started backtracking that people got in trouble. Interrogation 101.

Admittedly, there was a lot she still didn't know about him, but she did know this: He completed her in a way that she'd never thought possible. Knowledge isn't everything, she told herself, and she knew then that, in Nana's words, he was the toast to her butter.

I try to write every day until the book is done, but the exact process depends on the story and its structure. Sometimes, if the story is more linear, I write it from beginning to end.

Image
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.

If you discovered something that made you tighten inside, you had better try to learn more about it.

That's another reason I keep putting marriage off. I know I want something like what you two share, and I'm not sure I've found it yet. I'm not sure I ever will. And with love like that...they say anything's possible, right?

But you're disappointed. He brushed a strand of hair from her face. It's not possible for you to disappoint me.
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.

So that's the ghost you been running from.

True love is rare, and it's the only thing that gives life real meaning.

Gifts of the heart can't be claimed by anyone except the giver.

I write 3-4 days a week, 4-5 hours at a time (with lots of breaks). My goal is 2000 words when I sit down to write and usually, I hit that, though it can take anywhere from 3-7 hours to get there. I usually know the basics of where the story is going, but the specifics just sort of come to me as I write.

Someday you'll find someone special again. People who've been in love once usually do. It's in their nature.

I generally don't involve myself in giving the actors some tips on acting. At the same time, I don't do that with the director.

Where does a story truly begin? In life, there are seldom clear-cut beginnings, those moments when we can, in looking back, say that everything started. Yet there are moments when fate intersects with our daily lives, setting in motion a sequence of events whose outcome we could never have foreseen.
