Nicholas Sparks

"In time, the hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let it go. At least I thought it was. But in every boy I met in the next few years, I found myself looking for you, and when the feelings got too strong, I'd write you another letter. But I never sent them for fear of what I might find. By then, you'd gone on with your life and I didn't want to think about you loving someone else. I wanted to remember us like we were that summer. I didn't ever want to lose that."
— The Notebook

"Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes it makes you love them more."

"Poetry wasn't written to be analyzed; it was meant to inspire without reason, to touch without understanding."
— The Notebook

"You always have a choice. It's just that some people make the wrong one."
— The Guardian

"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."
— Nights in Rodanthe

"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."
