I hope to be remembered as an author who defined and exemplified excellence in crafting the modern love story.

To be quite honest, I've been very blessed when I've worked with Hollywood. The studios that have purchased my work to be adapted to film have really liked the work and wanted to stay as close as they could to what the book was.

I love you now for what we've already shared, and I love you now in anticipation of all that's to come.

It's your eyes. They're ... more serious than they used to be. Like they've seen things they shouldn't have.

he'd once believed that the answer lay somehow in the music he created, he suspected now that He'd been mistaken. The more he thought about it, the more he'd come to realize that for him, music had always been a movement away from reality rather than a means of living in it more deeply. .. he now knew that burying himself in music had less to do with God than a selfish desire to escape.

Then we'll find a way to work through all this together because I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

How can I tell them that I love them if I'm no longer there?
