"I would be rejected if I submitted..." - Quote by Nicholas Sparks

“love wasn't possible in just a couple of days. Love could be set in motion quickly, but true love needed time to grow into something strong and enduring. Love was, above all, about commitment and dedication and a belief that spending years with a certain person would create something greater than the sum of what the two can accomplish separately.”

“I read over a hundred books a year and have done so since I was fifteen years old, and every book I've read has taught me something.”

“Love is a gift. You give love and that's where the joy is.”

“My book should smell of pines and resound with the hum of insects.”

“The good ending dismisses us with a touch of ceremony and throws a backward light of significance over the story just read. It makes it, as they say, or unmakes it. A weak beginning is forgettable, but the end of a story bulks in the reader's mind like the giant foot in a foreshortened photograph.”

“Read anything I write for the pleasure of reading it. Whatever else you find will be the measure of what you brought to the reading.”

“In all love stories the theme is love and tragedy, so by writing these types of stories, I have to include tragedy.”

“I'd like to do a completely off-the-wall collaboration. I would like one of my songs to be the hook to a rap song. That would be so much fun!”

“I don't write romance novels.”
