Loving someone and having them love you back is the most precious thing in the world. It's what made it possible for me to go on, but you don't seem to realize that. Even when love is right there in front of you, you choose to turn away from it. You're alone because you want to be.

She was, in other words, the kind of girl who made the rest of us look bad, and whenever she glanced my way, I couldn't help but feel guilty, even though I hadn't done anything wrong.

I dont think that we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.
Nicholas Sparks -
I love you, Katie. You might not be ready to say those words now, and maybe you'll never be able to say them, but that doesn't change how I feel about you.
Nicholas Sparks -
But...as bad as it was, I learned something about myself. That I could go through something like that and survive. I mean, I know it could have been worse--a lot worse-- but for me, it was all I could have handled at the time. And I learned from it.
Nicholas Sparks -
It is at moments like these that I know my what my purpose is in life. I am here to love you, to hold you in my arms, to protect you. I am here to learn from you and to receive your love in return.I am here because there is no other place to be.
Nicholas Sparks -
I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is. God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it. But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell.

As these images were going through my head, my breathing suddenly went still. I looked at Jamie, then up to the ceiling and around the room, doing my best to keep my composure, then back to Jamie again. She smiled at me and I smiled at her and all I could do was wonder how I’d ever fallen in love with a girl like Jamie Sullivan.

You think you know me, but I'm not sure that even I know who I am anymore.
Nicholas Sparks -
That's my sweetheart in there. I'm not living her. This is my home now. Your mother is my home.
Nicholas Sparks -
That's the thing about life. A lot of the time, it isn't easy at all. We just have to try to make the best of it.
Nicholas Sparks -
She'd preferred the uncertainty, if only because it allowed her to remember him the way he used to be. Sometimes, though, she wondered what he felt when he thought of that year they spent together, or if he ever marveled at what they'd shared, or even whether he thought of her at all.
Nicholas Sparks -
And there had been times when he wished he'd been born into a different family.
Nicholas Sparks -
But even though she was attractive, there was something else about her that caught his eye. She was intelligent, he could sense that right away, and confident, too, as if she were able to move through life on her own terms. To him, these were the things that really mattered. Without them, beauty was nothing.

If you come back; I'll marry you. If you break your promise, you'll break my heart.
Nicholas Sparks -
What it's like to be a parent: It's one of the hardest things you'll ever do but in exchange it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.
Nicholas Sparks -
I don't write romance novels.

How had I become middle-aged while the ravages of time ignored her? I didn't know and didn't care, and before I could stop them, the words were already out. "You're beautiful," I murmured.
Nicholas Sparks -
She was struck by the simple truth that sometimes the most ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doing them with the right people.
Nicholas Sparks -
Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can't believe that ours didn't go on forever.
Nicholas Sparks
-
I've wanted to go out with you from the first moment I saw you. I just had to wait until you were ready.
Nicholas Sparks -
I love you, Elizabeth... and more than that, I like you. I enjoy spending time with you.
Nicholas Sparks -
I truly believe that while love can hurt, love can also heal.
Nicholas Sparks -
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.
