Best of “The Notebook”

In the spirit of the quickly approaching holiday of Valentines Day, I would like to share my favorite quotes from one of my all time favorite book/movie. Such a wonderfully romantic story. Enjoy 🙂

“I didn’t plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it.”

“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… every day.”

“You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.”

“You are the answer to every prayer I’ve offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don’t know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.”

“In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry I cry and when you hurt I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods to tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life”

“The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we’ve lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we’ve found each other. And maybe each time, we’ve been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.”

“Every great love starts with a great story…”

“An ordinary beginning, something that would have been forgotten had it been anyone but her.”

“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?”

“You and I were different. We came from different worlds, and yet you were the one who taught me the value of love. You showed me what it was like to care for another, and I am a better man because of it. I don’t want you to ever forget that.”

“If you’re a bird… I’m a bird…”

“And when I came in with tears in my eyes, you always knew whether I needed you to hold me or just let me be. I don’t know how you knew, but you did, and you made it easier for me.”

“Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants. Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?”

“The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.”

“Sometimes we need to be apart to understand just how much we truly love each other.”

“No matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours.”

“It’s the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.”

“Silence is pure and holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking.”

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.”
