NOT YET RATED
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.
From The Notebook
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
Distance can ruin even the best of intentions.

But I suppose it depends on how you look at it.

Distance just adds a richness you would not otherwise get.

People come. People go. They will drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book.

When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their stories and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones. Not the ones from the past.
From The Rescue
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
The two of you, there's something uncanny about the way you two are with each other. I mean everything--the way you look at each other, the way she relaxes when you put your hand on her back, the way you both seem to know what the other is always thinking, it's always struck me as extraordinary. 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?
From The Choice
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
I've never been afraid of them. Not once. Because I had you.
From The Best of Me
Topic: Happiness
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
It's the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.
From The Notebook
Topic: Hope
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
I'd learned that some things are best kept secret.
From Dear John
Topic: Life, Love
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.
From A Walk to Remember
Topic: Love
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.
From The Notebook

NOT YET RATED
The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it...
From At First Sight
Topic: Love
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.
From The Notebook
Topic: Love
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it was like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if oyu planned on fallin gin love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.
From The Notebook
Topic: Love
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
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.
From Safe Haven
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
That's why I loved being with you. We could do the simplest things, like toss starfish into the ocean and share a burger and talk and even then I knew that I was fortunate. Because you were the first guy who wasn't constantly trying to impress me. You accepted who you were, but more than that, you accepted me for me. And nothing else mattered-- not my family or your family or anyone else in the world. It was just us.
From The Best of Me
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
Jamie: You know what I figured out today?
Landon: What?
Jamie: Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel.
From A Walk to Remember
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
He was a wonderful man. And when a man is that special, you know it sooner than you think possible. You recognize it instinctively, and you're certain that no matter what happens, there will never be another one like him.
Topic: Happiness
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love.
Topic: Life
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
Strange, what being forced to slow down could do to a person.
From The Last Song
Topic: Life
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
The greater the love, the greater the tragedy when it's over.
From Nights in Rodanthe
Topic: Love
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
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

He stared at her, knowing with certainty that he was falling in love. He pulled her close and kissed her beneath a blanket of stars, wondering how on earth he'd been lucky enough to find her.
From The Last Song
Topic: Love
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
He was the toast to her butter.
From The Lucky One
Topic: Love
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
Every now and then, I’d meet a guy and think that we were getting along great, and suddenly I’d stop hearing from him. Not only did he stop calling, but if I happened to bump into him sometime later he always acted like I had the plague. I didn’t understand it. I still don’t. And it bothered me. It hurt me. With time, it got harder and harder to keep blaming the guys, and I eventually came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with me. That maybe I was simply meant to live my life alone.
From The Lucky One
Nicholas Sparks
NOT YET RATED
The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more; that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.
