Nicholas Sparks

“The greater the love, the greater the tragedy when it's over.”

“Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.”

“Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.”

“The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.”

“You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.”

“Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.”

“The first time you fall in love, it changes your life forever, and no matter how hard you try, the feeling never goes away.”

“I finally understood what true love meant…love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”

“If you're a bird, I'm a bird.”

“Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that.”

“In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never know when you may not have that chance again.”

“You are the answer to every prayer I've offered.”

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.”

“You are, and always have been, my dream.”

“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had.”

“It’s the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.”

“The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.”

“They didn’t agree on much. In fact, they didn’t agree on anything. They fought all the time and challenged each other every day. But despite their differences, they had one thing in common. They were crazy about each other.”

“Sometimes we need to be hurt in order to grow. We must lose in order to gain. Sometimes, some lessons are learned best through pain.”

“Life, he realized, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.”
