Nicholas Sparks

I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.

Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.

There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.

It's impossible to protect your kids against disappointment in life.

You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.

Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable.

You are, and always have been, my dream.

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.
