1 " He was the toast to her butter. "
― Nicholas Sparks , The Lucky One
2 " Every now and then, I’d meet a guy and think that we were getting along great, and suddenly I’d stop hearing from him. Not only did he stop calling, but if I happened to bump into him sometime later he always acted like I had the plague. I didn’t understand it. I still don’t. And it bothered me. It hurt me. With time, it got harder and harder to keep blaming the guys, and I eventually came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with me. That maybe I was simply meant to live my life alone. "

5 " It's hard at times, but it makes a kid strong in ways that most people can't understand. Teaches them that even though people are left behind, new ones will inevitable take their place; that every place has something good - and bad - to offer. It makes a kid grow up fast. "
6 " Always stick to the story. It was when you started backtracking that people got in trouble. Interrogation 101. "

8 " In the blink of an eye, something happens by chance - when you least expect it - sets you on a course that you never planned, into a future you never imagined. "
9 " Most people don’t know how to appreciate the silence. They can’t help talking. "
10 " If relationships were hard, mariage was even harder... it seemed like most couples struggled. It went with the territory. What did Nana always say? Stick two different people with two different sets of expectations under one roof and it ain't always going to be shrimp and grits on Easter. "
11 " The most ordinary things could be made extraordinary. "
12 " She had been proud of his decision to serve his country, her heart bursting with love and admiration the first time she saw him outfitted in his dress blues. "
13 " When a man is that special, you know it sooner than you think possible. You recognize it instinctively, and you're certain that no matter what happens, there will never be another one like him. "
14 " Sometimes the most ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doin them with the right people.(Elizabeth Green) "
15 " Friends come and go, clothing is packed and unpacked, households are continually purged of unnecessary items, and as a result, not much sticks. it's hard at times but it makes a kid strongs in ways that most people can't understand. Teaches them that even though people are left behind, new ones will inevitably take their place; that every place has something good and bad to offer. It makes a kid grow up fast. "
16 " It was easy to idealize someone you barely knew. "
17 " He closed his eyes as she put her hand on his shoulder, and in that instant, nothing else mattered. Not the song, not the place, not the other couples around him. Only this, only her. He gave himself over to the feel of her body as it pressed against him, and they moved slowly in small circles on the sawdust-strewn floor, lost in a world that felt as though it had been created for just the two of them.

20 " I love you, Elizabeth... and more than that, I like you. I enjoy spending time with you. "
