Life, he realized, 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.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Last Song

If we’d never met, I think I would have known my life wasn’t complete. And I would have wandered the world in search of you, even if I didn’t know who I was looking for.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Longest Ride

life intimacy seeking completeness

safety confidence

You aren't just someone I loved back then. You were my best friend, my best self, and I can't imagine giving that up again. You might not understand, but I gave you the best of me, and after you left, nothing was ever the same.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Best of Me

Do you ever wonder why things have to turn out the way they do?

—Nicholas Sparks in A Walk to Remember

I had no regrets about the way I'd turned out. Regrets about the journey, maybe, but not the destination.

—Nicholas Sparks in Dear John

perspective regret journey

Spending time with you showed me what I've been missing in my life. The more time we spent together, the more I could imagine it lasting in the future. That's never happened to me before, and I'm not sure it'll ever happen again. I've never been in love with anyone before you came along — not real love anyway…not like this. And I'd be a fool if I let you slip away without a fight.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Choice

Change isn't always for the best.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Best of Me

Don't take my advice. Or anyone's advice. Trust yourself. For good or for bad, happy or unhappy, it's your life, and what you do with it has always been entirely up to you.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Best of Me

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.

—Nicholas Sparks in Dear John

Everyone makes mistakes, even if some are worse than others. Accidents happen.
