When I look in the mirror, I know I’m looking at someone who isn’t sure she deserves to be loved at all.

love, I've come to understand is more than three words mumbled before bedtime.

I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..

So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to
So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.

You are, and always have been, my dream.. Nicholas Sparks
You are, and always have been, my dream.

You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which
You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.

We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.

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. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever

They didn’t agree on much. In fact, they didn’t agree on anything. They fought all the time and challenged each other ever day. But despite their differences, they had one important thing in common. They were crazy about each other.

My daddy said, that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and
My daddy said, that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away.

You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a
You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.

And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever.

Life, he realize, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the
Life, he realize, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it...

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.

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.

I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.

I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea.

The greater the love, the greater the tragedy when it's over.

Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face - I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself.

I'd learned that some things are best kept secret.

She was my dream. She made me who I am, and holding her in my arms was more natural to me than my own heartbeat. I think about her all the time. Even now, when I'm sitting here, I think about her. There could never have been another.

If you're a bird... I'm a bird...

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

Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.

He stared at her, knowing with certainty that he was falling in love. He pulled her close and kissed her beneath a blanket of stars, wondering how on earth he'd been lucky enough to find her.

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.

The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.

This is not a goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. 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.
I love you, T.

I don't want to lose you.' His voice almost a whisper. Seeing his haggard expression, she took his hand and squeezed it, then reluctantly let it go. She could feel the tears again, and she fought them back. 'But you don't want to keep me, either, do you?' To that, he had no response.

Spending time with you showed me what I’ve been missing in my life.

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 I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?

She wasnt exactly sure when it happened. Or even when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now, she was falling hard and she could only pray that he was feeling the same way.

We’d met at a carefree time, a moment full of promise, in its place now were the harsh lessons of the real world.

Yes... it wasn't over, it still isn't over.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you are there, in everything I am, in everything I've ever done, and looking back, I know that I should have told you know much you've always meant to me.

You're a hero and a gentleman, you're kind and honest, but more than that, you're the first man I ever truly loved. And no matter what the future brings, you always will be, and I know that my life is better for it.

It is the possibility that keeps me going, and though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe that anything is possible.

Love doesn't mean anything if you're not willing to make a commitment, and you have to think not only about what you want, but about what he wants. Not just now, but in the future.

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

But love, I’ve come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.

When we first met, I didn't want to get involved with anyone. I didn't have the time or energy, and I wasn't sure that I was ready for it. But you were so good to me, and I got swept up in that. And little by little, I found myself falling in love with you.

She had been proud of his decision to serve his country, her heart bursting with love and admiration the first time she saw him outfitted in his dress blues.

People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.

I'm sure you think that I don't understand what you're going through, but I do. It's just that sometimes, our future is dictated by what we are, opposed to what we want.

That speaking the words, even if true, had little power to change the inevitable or even make him feel much better.

...but unlike me, she has a hard time saying such things. She loved me with a passion, but I felt it in her expressions, in her touch, in the tender brush of her lips. And, when I needed it most, she loved me with the written word as well.

There were moments when it honestly seemed as if the world were conspiring against her.

Being in love, I find myself smiling for no reason at all...

He was the toast to her butter.

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

How far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?

Deep in her heart, she wasn't sure she deserved to be happy, nor did she believe that she was worthy of someone who seemed...normal.

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

How far should a person go in the name of true love?

Their fingers seemed to fit together in just the right way- effortlessly clasped,like perfect complements.

What's your heart telling you to do?
I don't know.'
Maybe, you're trying too hard to hear it.

I might kiss you.
I might be bad at it.
That's not possible.

Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over?

I am lost without you. I am soulless, a drifter without a home, a solitary bird in a flight to nowhere. I am all these things, and I am nothing at all. This, my darling, is my life without you. I long for you to show me how to live again.

and all I could think was that I would like to spend every morning for the rest of my life waking up beside her

If you simply ignored the feeling, you would never know what might happen, and in many ways that was worse than finding out in the first place. Because if you were wrong, you could go forward in your life without ever looking back over your shoulder and wondering what might have been.

I love you now for what we've already shared, and I love you now in anticipation of all that's to come.

Were all first loves like that? Somehow she doubted it; even now it struck her as being more real than anything she'd ever known. Sometimes it saddened her to think that she'd never experience that kind of feeling again, but then life had a way of stamping out that intensity of passion; she'd learned all too well that love wasn't always enough.

If you're going to sit on someone's tombstone, you might as well know something about them, right?

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.

Too many people seem to believe that silence was a void that needed to be filled, even if nothing important was said.

Youth offers the promise of happiness, but life offers the realities of grief.

Jamie: You know what I figured out today?
Landon: What?
Jamie: Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel.

I've come to believe that in everyone's life, there's one undeniable moment of change, a set of circumstances that suddenly alters everything.

It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.

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.

Our lives can't be measured by our final years, of this I am sure.

Strange, what being forced to slow down could do to a person.

I suppose [my life] has most resembled a blue chip stock: fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. A good buy, a lucky buy, and I've learned that not everyone can say that about his life.

If it’s over, then don’t let the past screw up the rest of your life.

The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy. In my mind it’s a little bit of both, and no matter how you choose to view it in the end, it does not change the fact that it involves a great deal of my life and the path I’ve chosen to follow.

It hadn't been so long ago, yet sometimes she felt that she'd been an altogether different person back then.

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.

In the end you should always do the right thing even if it's hard.

When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence.

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 each life before this one searching for you. Not someone like you but you, for your soul and mine must always come together.

Logan stopped and gazed skyward as the kite began to soar above them, and when he clapped his hands at Ben's obvious joy, she was strucked by the simple truth that sometimes the most ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doing them with the right people.

No one ever said life was fair

God, with a wisdom I can't claim to understand, called you home a long time ago, and the tears I shed that night have never seemed to dry.

...nothing wonderful lasted forever. Joy was as fleeting as a shooting star that crossed the evening sky, ready to blink out at any moment.

He was a wonderful man. And when a man is that special, you know it sooner than you think possible. You recognize it instinctively, and you're certain that no matter what happens, there will never be another one like him.

Frugality, I've learned, has its own cost, one that sometimes lasts forever.

Every great love starts with a great story...

In our time together, you claimed a special place in my heart, one I'll carry with me forever and that no one can ever replace.

Believe me, I'm no romantic, and while I've heard all about love at first sight, I've never believed in it, and I still don't. But even so, there was something there, something recognizably real, and I couldn't look away.

As a girl, she had come to believe in the ideal man - the prince or knight of her childhood stories. In the real world, however, men like that simply didn't exist.

I been watchin' you, workin day and night, slavin so hard you barely have time to catch your breath. People do that for three reasons. Either they crazy, or stupid, or tryin' to forget.

She leaned into me, and when I closed my eyes, I knew I wanted nothing more than to hold her this way forever.

It all comes down to who is by your side and who is willing to stand up for love even when it seems impossible.

Who did she know in Raleigh who took the time off to fix a house? Or read Whitman or Eliot, finding images in the mind, thoughts of the spirit? Or hunted dawn from the bow of a canoe? These weren't the things that drove society, but she felt they shouldn't be treated as unimportant. They made living worthwhile.

I love you too, Will Blakelee," she whispered, leaning in to kiss him again.

You might not understand, but I gave you the best of me, and after you left, nothing was ever the same.

EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES, EVEN THE PERSONS WE LOVE.

E' la possibilità, non la garanzia, quella che mi fa andare avanti. Una specie di scomessa da parte mia. E chiamatemi pure pazzo, o sognatore o quel che vi pare, io credo che tutto sia possibile.

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.

What happens if a car comes?
We die.

Never forget that God is your friend. And like all friends, He longs to hear what's been happening in your life. Good or bad, whether it's been full of sorrow or anger, or even when you're questioning why terrible things have to happen.

If pinpointing God's presence were really that simple, then he supposed the beaches would be more crowded in the mornings. They would be filled with people on their own quests, instead of people jogging or walking their dogs or fishing in the surf.

More than anything, he wanted to return to the house with the same look of peace that he'd seen on Pastor Harris's face, but he trudged through the sand, he couldn't help feeling like an amateur, someone searching for God's truths like a child searching for seashells.

I have always been a firm believer in God and the power of prayer, though to be honest, my faith has made for alist of questions I definitely want answered after I'm gone.

I mean talk. Never forget that God is your friend. And like all friends, He longs to hear what's been happening in your life. Good or bad, whether it's been full of sorrow or anger, and even when you're questioning why terrible things have to happen. So I talk with
him.

It's the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.

I came to the conclusion that unrealized hopes, even small ones, were always wrenching.

She had known the kind of love that was worth risking everything for, the kind of love that was as rare as a glimpse of heaven.

Poetry, she thought, wasn't written to be analyzed; it was meant to inspire without reason, to touch without understanding.

And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.

الشعر لم يكتب من أجل تحليله ودراسته ، بل من أجل أن يبعث الإلهام في النفوس دون سبب واضح ، و أ

I don't pray because it doesn't work. Prayer doesn't fix anything. Bad things happen anyway.

Halfway down the aisle, Jamie suddenly seemed to tire, and they stopped while she caught her breath...It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make. In every way, a walk to remember.

I mean, if the relationship can't survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?

Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.

Every couple has ups and downs, every couple argues, and that’s the thing - you’re a couple, and couples can’t function without trust.

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.

Science only goes so far, then comes God.
- Noah Calhoun-

I dont think that we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.

Does trust have to be earned. Or is it simply a matter of faith?

There's always a 'but' when it comes to jobs. Like, I love my job but my colleagues are first-rate, but...a couple of them like to dress like superheroes on the weekend and I can't help but wonder if they're nuts." - Logan

I'll be with my sister. And believe it or not, she has a phone and everything. She stopped using smoke signals last year." - Nana

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.

It was a lesson that I would learn in time though it wasn't Hegbert who taught me.

Con el tiempo uno se acostumbra a todo.

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.

When I see you, my darling, in the morning before showers or in your studio covered with paint with your hair matted and tired eyes, I know that you are the most beautiful woman in the world.

Para odiar algo, primero debes amarlo.

There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

That's the thing about being the product of happily marries parents, You grow up thinking the fairy tale is real, and more than that, you think you're entitled to live it. So far, though, it wasn't working out as planned.

He was a solitary figure in a vast landscape while she was a face in a nameless crowd.

My daddy said
that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, the feeling just never goes away.

I spent much of that year trying to imagine a future distorted by war.

You gotta know when to be lazy. Done correctly, it's an art form that benefits everyone.

There are guys who grow up thinking they'll settle down some distant time in the future, and there are guys who are ready for marriage as soon as they meet the right person. The former bore me, mainly because they're pathetic; and the latter, frankly are hard to find.

Each recognized the fact that real commitment could be proven only through the passage of time.

A good marriage, like any partnership, meant subordinating one's own needs to that of the other's, in the expectation that the other will do the same.

She'd either be a heartless mother and wife or a spineless enabler, when all she really wanted was the man she'd once believed him to be.

As compromised as their marriage might be, part of her still believed in her vows. She loved the man he’d been, and she loved the man she knew he could be.

Marriage is about compromise; it's about doing something for the other person, even when you don't want to.

Jill had three basic statements about life,
1. It is your life, usually with some added social commentary.
2. What you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.
3. No one ever said that life was fair.

What are we after all our dreams, after all our memories?

It's hard at times, but it makes a kid strong in ways that most people can't understand. Teaches them that even though people are left behind, new ones will inevitable take their place; that every place has something good - and bad - to offer. It makes a kid grow up fast.

He thought of her often, and he missed the companionship they'd once shared and the friendship that had been the bedrock of their marriage at its best.

لقد علمتني أنه من الممكن الاستمرار في الحياة ، ولا يهم مقدار الحزن الذي نعانيه

Lᴏᴠᴇ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡɪɴᴅ ... Yᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ sᴇᴇ ɪᴛ, ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ ғᴇᴇʟ ɪᴛ!

Life…was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it’s in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.

Things changed, people changed, and the world went rolling along right outside the window.

Change not only was inevitable, but usually brought its own rewards.

We're not the same people we were then. We've changed, we've grown.

Yet I have come to believe that while the past is unchangeable, our perceptions of is are malleable...

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

من يشعرون بالراحة معًا يمكنهم الجلوس لفترة طويلة دون أن يتكلموا

الناس يجهدون أنفسهم هكذا لثلاثة أسباب : إما لأنهم مجانين ، أو حمقى ، أو يحاولون النسيان

Always stick to the story. It was when you started backtracking that people got in trouble. Interrogation 101.

At times, it almost felt like I was destined to take the trip, like all the people I met had somehow been waiting for me

You live long enough, you lose enough people, you learn to appreciate the memories you have.

It all comes down to who's by your side.

The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.

I gave you the best of me.

A person with autism lives in his own world, while a person with Asperger's lives in our world, in a way of his own choosing

I don't care if your dad is the Sultan of Brunei. You happened to be born into a privileged family. What you do with that truth is completely up to you. I'm here because I want to be with you. But if I didn't, all the money in the world wouldn't have changed my feelings for you.

That's what courage is. If she weren't scared, she wouldn't need courage in the first place." -Jo

It can be coins or sports or politics or horses or music or faith... 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.

And I'd be willing to bet that you were great at it, if only because you have to love something before you can hate it.

Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary.

What's the best thing about being in college? Good teachers. They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a ton even when you don't know it.

It's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems.

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.

وجودك في حياتي يمثل لي كل أمل وحلم تمنيت تحقيقه ، ومهما يحدث لنا في المستقبل ، فسيكون كل ي%8

If you discovered something that made you tighten inside, you had better try to learn more about it.

They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a ton even when you don't know it

You really love her don't you," she said.
With all my heart."
She looked as sad as I'd ever seen her.
What's your heart telling you to do?"
I don't know."
Maybe", she said gently,"You're trying to hard to hear it.

Mom says it's because she has PMS.
Do you even know what that means?
"I'm not a little kid anymore. It means pissed-at- men syndrome
