Proximity bred familiarity, and familiarity bred comfort.

Love doesn't mean anything if you're not willing to make a commitment, and you have to think not only about what you want, but about what he wants. Not just now, but in the future.

I consider myself foremost a novelist with the intent of crafting stories that people will remember.
Nicholas Sparks

And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever.

You have no idea how much the last few days have meant to me, I began. Meeting you has been the best thing that's ever happened to me.

You don't feel the need to talk all the time, do you, she said. He smiled. No. Most people don't know how to appreciate silence. They can't help talking. I talk, I just want to have something to say first.

It's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems, and that in time, the grief . . . lessens. It may not go away completely, but after a while it's not so overwhelming.

God is out there watching you, even when you're away from home and that if you put your trust in God, you'll be all right in the end.
