Everything around me makes me miss you.

—Nicholas Sparks in Dear John

You made me happy and you made me laugh, and if I could do it all over again, I would not hesitate. Look at our life, at the trips we took, the adventures we had. As your father used to say, we shared the longest ride together, this thing called life, and mine has been filled with joy because of you.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Longest Ride

Loving once and only once is possible - anything is possible.

—Nicholas Sparks

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.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Best of Me

I can remember every moment we were together, and in each of them there was something wonderful. I can't really pick any one time that meant more than any other. The entire summer was perfect, the kind of summer everyone should have.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Notebook

—Nicholas Sparks in Three Weeks With My Brother

—Nicholas Sparks in Message In A Bottle

I knew it wasn't fair, I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help it. And after a while, the anger I felt just sort of became part of me, like it was the only way I knew how to handle the grief. I didn't like who I'd become, but I was stuck in this horrible cycle of questions and blame.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Lucky One

It's funny, but have you ever noticed that the more special something is, the more people seem to take it for granted? It's like they think it won't ever change.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Wedding

blindness specialness

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 in The Notebook

Experience had taught me that even the most precious memories fade with the passage of time.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Wedding

time experience memories

Miracles, no matter how inexplicable or unbelievable, are real and can occur without regard to the natural order of things.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Notebook
