Science is not the total answer; this I know, this I have learned in my lifetime. And that leaves me with the belief that miracles, no matter how inexplicable or unbelievable, are real and can occur without regard to the natural order of things.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
Poetry ... wasn't written to be analyzed; it was meant to inspire without reason, to touch without understanding.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
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.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
Alzheimer's ... it is a barren disease, as empty and lifeless as a desert. It is a thief of hearts and souls and memories.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
Dusk ... is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel ... to be always together, yet forever apart?
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry I cry and when you hurt I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods to tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life. Work's important, family's important, but without excitement, you have nothing. You're cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what's coming.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, Three Weeks With My Brother
It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
She wanted something else, something different, something more. Passion and romance, perhaps, or maybe quiet conversations in candlelit rooms, or perhaps something as simple as not being second.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
It's the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Notebook
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, Dear John
The past was gone and the future had yet to unfold, and he knew he should focus his life on the present ... yet his day-to-day existence suddenly struck him as endless and unbearable.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, The Choice
I'm an expert in procrastination, but the last thing I want you to think is that I'm incompetent, too. Because I'm actually pretty good at what I do.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, Safe Haven
There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.
NICHOLAS SPARKS, A Walk to Remember
Youth offers the promise of happiness, but life offers the realities of grief.
