Nicholas Sparks

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

"Or maybe watching you enjoy a carefree summer while you fell in love was what kept me out of the hospital in the first place."

"When I look in the mirror, I know I’m looking at someone who isn’t sure she deserves to be loved at all."

"We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened 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."

".. Questions that had begun to creep into her thoughts whenever they we're together. When would he be ready? Would he ever be ready? And of course, why he wasn't ready?.."

"When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence."

"Deep in her heart, she wasn't sure she deserved to be happy, nor did she believe that she was worthy of someone who seemed...Normal."

"And I'd be willing to bet that you were great at it, if only because you have to love something before you can hate it."

"You really love her don't you,' she said.With all my heart.'She looked as sad as I'd ever seen her.What's your heart telling you to do?'I don't know.'Maybe', she said gently,'You're trying to hard to hear it."

"Its easy to fall for someone that will find humor in every situation."

"In the end you should always do the right thing even if it's hard."

"People didn't change. They liked what they liked even if they didn't understand why."
