All of sudden, this shooting star went by, and all I could think was that they were listening to us somehow.

It has to get ugly before it gets pretty!

He liked her; it was as simple as that.

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.
-
I know we loved each other, but distance can do strange things to people and before I was willing to tell you about it, I wanted to be certain that it would last.
-
I think, above all, the characters in my novels feel universal to the readers.

As the warm air blew in the car, simple snapshots of the life they'd lived together surfaced in his mind; but as always, those images led inexorably to their final day together.

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.

I've wanted to go out with you from the first moment I saw you. I just had to wait until you were ready.

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.

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.

I think that setting a novel in a small town taps into a sense of nostalgia among readers. People tend to believe life is different in small towns, and frankly, it is different.
-
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.
-
Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other... I know I've spent every life before this one searching for you. Not someone like you but you, for your soul and mine must always come together.

I have seldom been described as shy.

I love you, Elizabeth... and more than that, I like you. I enjoy spending time with you.

First you will smile, and then you will cry -- don't say you haven't been warned.

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.
-
Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.

Love should bring joy, it should grant a person peace, but here and not, it was bringing only pain.
-
One of the things I've learned in my life is that sometimes you've got to take a chance.
