Gayle Forman Quotes

But I’d do it again. I know that now. I’d make that promise a thousand times over and lose her a thousand times over to have heard her play last night or to see her in the morning sunlight. Or even without that. Just to know that she’s somewhere out there. Alive Picture Quote #1

Adam lay perfectly still, little groans escaping from his lips. I looked at the bow, looked at my hands, looked at Adam’s face and felt this surge of love, lust, and an unfamiliar feeling of power Picture Quote #1

Girlfriend is such a stupid word. I couldn’t stand calling her that. So, we had to get married, so I could call her ‘wife Picture Quote #1

Except even at the start, when we were in that can’t-get-enough-of-you-phase, there was like some invisible wall between us. At first I tried to take it down, but it took so much effort to even make cracks. And then I got tired of trying. Then I justified it. This was just how adult relationships were, how love felt once you had a few battle scars Picture Quote #1

We were both music-obsessed, each in our own way. If we didn’t entirely understand the other person’s obsession, it didn’t matter, because we understood our own Picture Quote #1

She left for Juilliard the day after Labor Day. I drove her to the airport. She kissed me good-bye. She told me that she loved me more than life itself. Then she stepped through security. She never came back Picture Quote #1

You’re just trying on different identities, like everyone in those Shakespeare plays. And the people we pretend at, they’re already in us. That’s why we pretend them in the first place Picture Quote #1

I don’t hate you. I don’t think I ever really did. It was just anger. And once I faced it head-on, once understood it, it dissipated. -Mia Picture Quote #1

And that’s when I understand that I have been stained. Whether I’m still in love with him, whether he was ever in love with me, and no matter who he’s in love with now, Willem changed my life. He showed me how to get lost, and then I showed myself how to get found Picture Quote #1

I think you’re the sort of person who finds money on the ground and waves it in the air and asks if anyone has lost it. I think you cry in movies that aren’t even sad because you have a soft heart, though you don’t let it show. I think you do things that scare you, and that makes you braver than those adrenaline junkies who bungee-jump off bridges Picture Quote #1

It’s the same thing that happens when I turn off a really good movie - one that I’ve lost myself to - which is that I’ll be thrown back to my own reality and something hollow will settle in my chest. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie all over again just to recapture that feeling of being inside something real. Which, I know, doesn’t make any sense Picture Quote #1

A long flight. Jetlag. Immigration. Customs. And then finally, that first step into a new place, that moment of exhilaration and disorientation, each feeding the other. That moment when anything can happen Picture Quote #1

Nothing happens without intention, Willem. Nothing. This theory of yours - life is rules by accidents - isn’t that just one huge excuse for passivity? Picture Quote #1

..all I left with was the magnitude of my mistake, of my missing you. And I have to watch you from this distance, watch you achieve your dreams, live what seemed like this perfect life Picture Quote #1

After graduation, I wanted to work for ‘Sassy’, which I loved, but it had folded. So I wound up at ‘Seventeen’ for three years on staff and two as a contributor, and I wrote these great stories that nobody ever believes ‘Seventeen’ does. Serious stories for teens about social justice issues - gun control, migrant farm workers Picture Quote #1

John Green was on the set of ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ the entire time, which is amazing! Wouldn’t you want John Green on set the entire time? Picture Quote #1

Part of me knows one more day won’t do anything except postpone the heartbreak. But another part of me believes differently. We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day Picture Quote #1

When I was really young, I wanted to grow up and be the sun. Which shows an early penchant for ambition or narcissism or grandiosity or delusion - all of which are bellwethers for becoming a writer Picture Quote #1

I can’t pretend to be a teenager, but I feel like I never really stopped being a teenager Picture Quote #1

I’ve become to realize there’s a world of difference between knowing something happened, even knowing why it happened, and believing it Picture Quote #1

I think every teenager feels like a Martian in something, whether it’s in their family, I think, or in their school. I think every teenager, every human being has a sense that they don’t belong somewhere Picture Quote #1

I have written a picture book that is based on my daughters. You know, my youngest one likes to tell everybody, ‘Mommy wrote ‘Best Day Ever’ about us.’ Which is true Picture Quote #1

You were both in love with music, and then you fell in love with each other Picture Quote #1

My first YA novel, not many people have read. It’s a fickle business. There’s a degree of timing and luck involved Picture Quote #1

I don’t really care. I shouldn’t have to care. I shouldn’t have to work this hard. I realize now that dying is easy. Living is hard Picture Quote #1

The little things that happen. Sometimes they’re insignificant; other times, they change everything Picture Quote #1

You meet people, you part ways, sometimes you cross paths again. Mostly, you don’t Picture Quote #1

Oftentimes when you see adaptations of books you like, you’re let down. As an author, you assume that they are going to suck. A little bit of hope is dangerous Picture Quote #1

Loving someone is such an inherently dangerous act. And yet, love, that’s where safety lives Picture Quote #1

If the spectrum linking everyday depression to Major Depression sometimes hinders understanding of it, it also offers an opportunity for empathy. Because almost everyone, at some point, experiences feelings of sadness, of hopelessness, of emptiness, not to mention lethargy and irritability Picture Quote #1
