I don't write fantasy, I write reality. Also, my novels have roots to Greek tragedies and as such, there has to be tragedy.

More quotes by 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
If I tried to write long-hand, I suppose I'd never finish a novel. I edit too much as I write - the paper would be white-out and sharpie marks. Writing with a computer works for me, so I stick with it.
Nicholas Sparks
In the end, for me, the sole single goal is to write the best novel that I can. Whether or not it gets made or gets purchased.
Nicholas Sparks
There's nothing you can tell me that will change how I feel about you. Nothing. Because that isn't you. It's never been you. You're the woman I've come to know. The woman I love.
Nicholas Sparks
I'm sure you think that I don't understand what you're going through, but I do. It's just that sometimes, our future is dictated by what we are, opposed to what we want.
Nicholas Sparks
His voice, even now, follows me everywhere on this longest of rides, this thing called life.
Nicholas Sparks
Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable, but her story and mine are different now. It wasn't easy for me to accept this simple truth, because there was a time when our stories were the same, but that was six years and two lifetimes ago.
Nicholas Sparks
If hers are the stars in the nighttime sky, mine are the haunted empty spaces in between.
Nicholas Sparks
I have a great wife and it's very easy to be romantic because it makes her happy and then my life is so much better when she's happy.
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
I know what it's like to be day and night now always together, forever apart.
Nicholas Sparks
A sad smile crossed her face, and I knew right then what she was trying to tell me. Her eyes never left mine as she finally said the words that numbed my soul. I'm dying, Landon.
Nicholas Sparks
If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, making time spent together a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale.
Nicholas Sparks
Love is fragile. And we're not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives against all odds.
Nicholas Sparks
I can’t make this decision for you…this one’s yours. I want you to know, though, that I love you. And I always will. I know that doesn’t help, but it’s all I can do.
Nicholas Sparks
The greater the love, the greater the tragedy when it's over.
Nicholas Sparks
My novels are in the literature section as opposed to the romance section of bookstores because they're not romance novels. If I tried to have them published as romances, they'd be rejected. I write dramatic fiction a further sub-genre would classify them as love stories.
Nicholas Sparks
When I am in the process of conceiving a story, I make sure it can be told with words and pictures. The story has to be creative, original and interesting in both areas. Many stories get rejected because they feel derivative.
Nicholas Sparks
While I sleep, I dream of you, and when I wake, I long to hold you in my arms. If anything, our time apart has only made me more certain that I want to spend my nights by your side, and my days with your heart.
Nicholas Sparks
I mean, if the relationship can't survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?
Nicholas Sparks
