Nicholas Sparks

It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make. In every way, a walk to remember.

When I sleep, I dream of you, and when I wake, I long to hold you in my arms. If anything, our time apart has only made me more certain that I want to spend my nights by your side, and my days with your heart.

Theresa, I know there's a part of you that believes you can change someone, but the reality is that you can't. You can change yourself, and Garrett can change himself, but you can't do it for him.

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're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words, that matter.

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.

Before we met, I was as lost as a person could be and yet you saw something in me that somehow gave me direction again.

You're doing the best you can, right? Isn't that what we always tell each other?

Loving someone and having them love you back is the most precious thing in the world.

No, there's no experience quite like having children, and despite the challenges we once faced, I've considered myself blessed because of the family we created.

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...

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

While I sleep, I dream of you, and when I wake, I long to hold you in my arms. If anything, our time apart has only made me more certain that I want to spend my nights by your side, and my days with your heart.

Someday you'll find someone special again. People who've been in love once usually do. It's in their nature.

No matter where it is in the sky... No matter where you are in the world... the moon is never bigger than your thumb. -John
