81 " I'm sure you think that I don't understand what you're going through, but I do. It's just that sometimes, our future is dictated by what we are, opposed to what we want. "
― Nicholas Sparks
82 " Too many people seem to believe that silence was a void that needed to be filled, even if nothing important was said. "
― Nicholas Sparks , Nights in Rodanthe
83 " That's the thing about life. A lot of the time, it isn't easy at all. We just have to try to make the best of it. "
― Nicholas Sparks , Safe Haven
84 " It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things. "
― Nicholas Sparks , The Notebook (The Notebook, #1)
85 " I've come to believe that in everyone's life, there's one undeniable moment of change, a set of circumstances that suddenly alters everything. "
86 " Everyone wanted to believe that endless love was possible. She'd believed in it once too, back when she was eighteen. But she knew that love was messy, just like life. It took turns that people couldn't foresee or even understand, leaving a long trail of regret in its wake. And almost always, those regrets led to the kinds of what if questions that could never be answered. "
― Nicholas Sparks , The Best of Me
87 " Our lives can't be measured by our final years, of this I am sure. "
88 " Strange, what being forced to slow down could do to a person. "
― Nicholas Sparks , The Last Song
89 " I suppose [my life] has most resembled a blue chip stock: fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. A good buy, a lucky buy, and I've learned that not everyone can say that about his life. "
90 " 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. "
91 " In the end you should always do the right thing even if it's hard. "
92 " Distance can ruin even the best of intentions.But I suppose it depends on how you look at it.Distance just adds a richness you would not otherwise get.People come. People go. They will drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book.When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their stories and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones. Not the ones from the past. "
― Nicholas Sparks , The Rescue
93 " When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence. "
― Nicholas Sparks , Three Weeks With My Brother
94 " 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. "
95 " I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve come to learn that predictions don’t mean much. Too much lies outside the realm of medical knowledge. A lot of what happens next comes down to you and your specific genetics, your attitude. No, there’s nothing we can do to stop the inevitable, but that’s not the point. The point is that you should try to make the most of the time you have left. "
96 " The two of you, there's something uncanny about the way you two are with each other. I mean everything--the way you look at each other, the way she relaxes when you put your hand on her back, the way you both seem to know what the other is always thinking, it's always struck me as extraordinary. That's another reason I keep putting marriage off. I know I want something like what you two share, and I'm not sure I've found it yet. I'm not sure I ever will. And with love like that, they say anything's possible, right? "
― Nicholas Sparks , The Choice
97 " If you're going to sit on someone's tombstone, you might as well know something about them, right? "
― Nicholas Sparks , A Walk to Remember
98 " Logan stopped and gazed skyward as the kite began to soar above them, and when he clapped his hands at Ben's obvious joy, she was strucked by the simple truth that sometimes the most ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doing them with the right people. "
99 " I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is. God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it. But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell. "
100 " 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. "
