Quotes from the Book

Where would we be without tomorrows? What we’d have instead are todays. And if that was the case, with you, I’d hope for the longest day for today. I’d fill today with you, doing everything I’ve ever loved. I’d laugh, I’d talk, I’d listen and learn, I’d love, I’d love, I’d love. I’d make every day today and spend them all with you, and I’d never worry about tomorrow, when I wouldn’t be with you. And when that dreaded tomorrow comes for us, please know that I didn’t want to leave you, or be left behind, that every single moment spent with you were the best times in my life.
Life is a series of moments and moments are always changing, just like thoughts, negative and positive. And though it may be human nature to dwell, like many natural things it's senseless, senseless to allow a single thought to inhabit a mind because thoughts are like guests or fair-weather friends. As soon as they arrive, they can leave, and even the ones that take a long time to emerge fully can disappear in an instant. Moments are precious; sometimes they linger and other times they're fleeting, and yet so much could be done in them; you could change a mind, you could save a life and you could even fall in love.
But where pain was, healing could come; where loneliness was, new relationships could be formed; where rejection was, new love could be found. It was a moment. And moments changed. She would have to live through the moment to get to the next.
I loved him, you know, but I have a theory about love. I think that, however good it is, some love isn't meant to be for ever.
Have you ever not known something but known it at the same time?
Things won't change unless you change you.
It’s not easy remembering the good times.
You were my wonderfully bespoke original guide to happiness.
I don't care if my love is requited or not, because being with you and the very thought of you makes me happy. The point I'm trying to make is that you are loved because I love you, Adam. Please, don't do it. Please, don't jump because I need you.
... you are loved because I love you.
The Brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear,
... however good it is, some love isn't meant to be for ever.
And sometimes when you witness a miracle it makes you believe that anything is possible.
The brave man isn't he who doesn't feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
And while positivity is the seed of many a great thing, wishful thinking alone doesn't make a good foundation for marriage.
La vie est une succession de moments qui ne cessent de changer, comme les pensées. Parfois ça va, parfois ça ne va pas. Même si c'est dans la nature humaine de ruminer, il ne faut pas se laisser envahir par une pensée négative, parce que les pensées sont comme des invités, ou des amies des bons jours. Sitôt arrivées, certaines peuvent s'évaporer, et même celles que l'on rumine longtemps peuvent disparaître en un instant. Les moments sont précieux. Parfois ils trainent, d'autres fois ils nous échappent, et cependant on pourrait tant en profiter. Il suffit de les saisir...
She roared with laughter. Passersby gave her strange looks, but she didn’t care. If she’d been able to stretch her vision to see beyond the trees he disappeared behind, she would have stopped laughing. She would have seen the couple who’d been in the dark street near the restaurant the previous night, again breaking into laughter when he felt it was safe to abandon the Wally persona. Everywhere she saw that one man, she didn’t see the woman behind him, with him, beside him, urging him on, supporting him. If she had, she might have wondered then who the display was really for.
The same highly unlikely thing never happens to the same person twice.
Moments are precious; sometimes they linger and other times they're fleeting, and yet so much could be done in them; you could change your mind, you could save a life and you could even fall in love.
Lo amaba, ¿Sabes?, pero tengo una teoría sobre el amor. Creo que, por buenos que sean, hay amores que no están destinados a durar para siempre
A život je niz trenutaka i ti su trenuci u vječnoj mijeni, baš kao i misli, negativne i pozitivne. I premda je potreba za mozganjem u ljudskoj prirodi, ona je besmislena kao toliko naših urođenih poriva. Besmisleno je dopustiti jednoj misli da nam zaposjedne um, jer misli su kao gosti ili nevjerni prijatelji. Mogu otići jednako brzo kako su i došle, a čak i one kojima je najduže trebalo da se rode mogu iščeznuti u trenu. Trenuci su, naprotiv, dragocjeni; katkad traju, a katkad prolete, ali možeš ih koječime ispuniti: možeš se predomisliti, možeš spasiti život, a možeš se i zaljubiti.
Our thoughts are ever-changing, because we put them there. Once you grasp the difference between suicidal thoughts and your feelings, you will start to understand your emotions. You can separate your suicidal thoughts from your feelings.
