Nicholas Sparks: Likeness

“Your love is like the wind… you cant see it, but you can feel it…”

“There's no love like the first.”

“That's how I always want to remember my time with you. Like a pure white light, breathtaking to behold.”

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

“Life, he realized, was much like a song.
In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.”

“And for the briefest instant, it almost feels like we're together again.”

“But… as bad as it was, I learned something about myself. That I could go through something like that and survive. I mean, I know it could have been worse--a lot worse-- but for me, it was all I could have handled at the time. And I learned from it.”

“What it's like to be a parent: It's one of the hardest things you'll ever do but in exchange it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.”

“He liked her; it was as simple as that.”

“You and I were different. We came from different worlds, and yet you were the one how taught me the value of love. You showed me what it was like to care for another, and I am a better man because of it. I don't want you to ever forget that.”

“Never forget that God is your friend. And like all friends, He longs to hear what's been happening in your life. Good or bad, whether it's been full of sorrow or anger, or even when you're questioning why terrible things have to happen.”

“Jamie: You know what I figured out today?
Landon: What?
Jamie: Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel.”

“Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other… I know I've spent each life before this one searching for you. Not someone like you but you, for your soul and mine must always come together.”

“Their fingers seemed to fit together in just the right way- effortlessly clasped, like perfect complements.”

“People didn't change. they liked what they liked even if they didn't understand why.”

“As a girl, she had come to believe in the ideal man -- the prince or knight of her childhood stories. In the real world, however, men like that simply didn't exist.”

“You're a wonderful person, Jamie. You're beautiful, you're kind, you're gentle… you're everything that I'd like to be. If people don't like you, or they think you're strange, then that's their problem.”

“Maybe I don't want to be defined by what I do. Maybe I'd like to be defined by what I am.”

“Jamie: You're acting like a crazy person, what's going on?
Landon: Right now, you're straddling the state line.
Jamie: OK…
Landon: You're in two places at once.”
