"But he had been in love once,..." - Quote by Nicholas Sparks

“Relationships are the most important thing in life, and friends are a part of that.”

“Did you ever realize you have more opinions about my life than your own life?”

“If I knew where creativity came from, I'd probably be a lot less stressed about coming up with new stories.”

“All these things shall love do unto youthat you may know the secrets of your heart,and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.”

“Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.”

“It was as if they had leapt over the arduous cavalry of conjugal life and gone straight to the heart of love. They were together in silence like an old married couple wary of life, beyond the pitfalls of passion, beyond the brutal mockery of hope and the phantoms of disillusion: beyond love. For they had lived together long enough to know that love was always love, anytime and anyplace, but it was more solid the closer it came to death.”

“A man who is used to acting in one way never changes; he must come to ruin when the times, in changing, no longer are in harmony with his ways.”

“What do you plan to do in the land of the sleepers? You have been floating in a sea of solitude, and the sea has borne you up. At long last, are you ready for dry land? Are you ready to drag yourself ashore?”

“We can learn what we did not know. We are not only good at destroying the Old World, we are also good at building the new.”
