Quotes from Nicholas Sparks

There's so much I wish for these days, but most of all, I wish you were here. It's strange, but before I met you, I couldn't remember the last time that I cried. Now, it seems that tears come easily to me.

—Nicholas Sparks in Nights In Rodanthe

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.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Rescue

One of the things she had learned early in her life was that if you discovered something that made you tighten inside, you had better try to learn more about it. If you simply ignored the feeling, you would never know what might happen, and in many ways that was worse than finding out that you were wrong 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.

—Nicholas Sparks in Message In A Bottle

I love you, and more than that, I like you. I enjoy spending time with you.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Lucky One

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

—Nicholas Sparks in Message In A Bottle

If you like her, if she makes you happy, and if you feel like you know her―then don't let her go.

—Nicholas Sparks in Message In A Bottle

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

—Nicholas Sparks in Nights In Rodanthe

When I think of you and me and what we shared, I know it would be easy for others to dismiss our time together as simply a by-product of the days and nights we spent by the sea, a "fling" that, in the long run, would mean absolutely nothing. That's why I don't tell people about us. They wouldn't understand, and I don't feel the need to explain, simply because I know in my heart how real it was…how real this is.

—Nicholas Sparks in Dear John

Every now and then, I'd meet a guy and think that we were getting along great, and suddenly I'd stop hearing from him. Not only did he stop calling, but if I happened to bump into him sometime later he always acted like I had the plague. I didn't understand it. I still don't. And it bothered me. It hurt me. With time, it got harder and harder to keep blaming the guys, and I eventually came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with me. That maybe I was simply meant to live my life alone.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Lucky One

I don't think that we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.

—Nicholas Sparks in A Walk to Remember

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

—Nicholas Sparks in The Rescue

I tell myself that I know you, and then when I think about it, I realize that I don't.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Lucky One

He'd lived long enough to know that everyone handled grief in different ways, and little by little, they all seemed to accept their new lives.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Choice

It was funny that you know someone for years but still discover something you never noticed before.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Guardian

The unfair thing about the whole situation was that she still missed him sometimes, or rather the good parts about him.

—Nicholas Sparks in Message In A Bottle
