falling-in-love sigh-of-relief promise
I'd love to, she finally said,"on one condition." I steadied myself, hoping it wasn't something too awful. "Yes?" "You have to promise that you won't fall in love with me." I knew she was kidding me by the way she laughed, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sometimes, I had to admit, Jamie had a pretty good sense of humor. I smiled and gave her my word.
creativity stressed stories
If I knew where creativity came from, I'd probably be a lot less stressed about coming up with new stories.
moving eye intelligent
But even though she was attractive, there was something else about her that caught his eye. She was intelligent, he could sense that right away, and confident, too, as if she were able to move through life on her own terms. To him, these were the things that really mattered. Without them, beauty was nothing.
life remember message-in-a-bottle
Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that.
notebook summer taken
An ordinary beginning, something that would have been forgotten had it been anyone but her. But as he shook her hand and met those striking emerald eyes, he knew before he'd taken his next breath that she was the one he could spend the rest of his life looking for but never find again. She seemed that good, that perfect, while a summer wind blew through the trees.
giving acting actors
I generally don't involve myself in giving the actors some tips on acting. At the same time, I don't do that with the director.
love hate
you have to love something before you can hate it.
notebook lost-love taken
We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.
notebook dream believe
She would tell him what she wanted in her life--her hopes and dreams for the future--and he would listen intently and then promise to make it all come true. And the way he said it made her believe him, and she knew how much he meant to her.
drama writing emotional
There is a fine line I have to walk throughout the writing process in a novel. It is this line between drama and melodrama, and it is this line between evoking genuine emotional power and being manipulative.
conclusion
I came to the conclusion that unrealized hopes, even small ones, were always wrenching.
dating ifs compatible
That's what dating is for, after all - to learn if you're compatible with someone.
love missing-someone loving-someone
Loving someone and having them love you back is the most precious thing in the world.
love break-up thank-you
Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.
