"I had no choice. Love does funny..." - Quote by Nicholas Sparks

“I'm not naive, I know that bad things happen, but most people do the right thing most of the time. Most people wake up and they try to do what's right for their relationships, whether it's marriage or family. They try to do what's right for their job. They try to make a better world for those around them, and that's what I want to write about.”

“A sad smile crossed her face, and I knew right then what she was trying to tell me. Her eyes never left mine as she finally said the words that numbed my soul. I'm dying, Landon.”

“For nothing is more fulfilling than love itself”

“Confronted by outstanding merit, there is no way of saving one's ego except by love”

“And writers say, as the most forward budIs eaten by the canker ere it blow,Even so by love the young and tender witIs turn'd to folly, blasting in the bud,Losing his verdure even in the prime,And all the fair effects of future hopes.”

“He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise; dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink.”

“I used to think it was mere homesickness, then I started getting it at home.”

“My songs have always been frustrating themes, relationships that I've had. And now that I'm in love, I expect it to be really happy, or at least there won't be half as much anger as there was.”

“Ah! my poor brain is racked and crazed, My spirit and senses amazed!”
