I don't want to live the rest of my life thinking about you and dreaming of what might have been. Stay with me, Allie.

You've gotten so caught up in being alone that you're afraid of what might happen if you actually find someone else that can take you away from it.

I love you, Gabby, more than you'll ever know. You're everything I've ever wanted in a wife. You're every hope and every dream I've ever had, and you've made me happier than any man could possibly be. I don't ever want to give that up. I can't.

I'm sure you think that I don't understand what you're going through, but I do. It's just that sometimes, our future is dictated by what we are, opposed to what we want.

I'm a novelist at heart. My sole intention is to write the best novel possible. I don't think about the film potential at all.

What it's like to be a parent: It's one of the hardest things you'll ever do but in exchange it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.

That's the difference between family and friends. Family is always there, no matter what, even when it's not right next door. Which means that you'll find a way to keep the connection alive. Especially since you realize how important it is.
