"You can't be a writer if you..." - Quote by Nicholas Sparks

“She turned the key, never taking her eyes from him.”

“He smiled, thinking that for just an instant, it was easy to imagine they were still married, both of them on the same team, both of them still in love. Except, of course, that they weren't.”

“Loving someone and having them love you back is the most precious thing in the world. It's what made it possible for me to go on, but you don't seem to realize that. Even when love is right there in front of you, you choose to turn away from it. You're alone because you want to be.”

“The best writing is certainly when you are in love”

“Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.”

“Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood.”

“For things to change for you, you've got to change!”

“One reason people never attempt new things is their fear of failure.”

“Successful people are decisive people. When opportunities come their way, they evaluate them carefully, make a decision, and take appropriate action. They know that indecision wastes time that could be spent on more productive tasks.”
