Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.
Gayle FormanIn the middle of L.A.'s sunny non-winter, I need to sit in a dark closet to feel right.
Gayle FormanI get it now. I have to make good on my promise. To let her go. To really let her go. To let us both go.
Gayle Forman...being Lulu, it made me realize that all my life I've been living in a small, square room, with no windows and no doors. And I was fine. I was happy, even. I thought. Then someone came along and showed me there was a door in the room. One that I'd never even seen before. Then he opened it for me. Held my hand as I walked through it. And for one perfect day, I was on the other side. I was somewhere else. Someone else. And then he was gone, and I was thrown back into my little room. And now, no matter what I do, I can't seem to find that door.
