Sometimes life is a series of obstacles, a matter of putting one foot in front of the other. Sometimes, she realizes suddenly, it is simply a matter of blind faith.

The thing about being catapulted into a whole new life–or at least, shoved up so hard against someone else’s life that you might as well have your face pressed against their window–is that it forces...

You´re my son, Ed. You might be idiotic and irresponsible, but it doesn´t make the slightest difference to what I feel for you. I´m pissed off that you could have thought it would

Everyone I’ve ever met who was worth knowing was a bit different at school. You just need to find your people”Find my people?”Your tribe

Solo se vive una vez. En realidad, es tu deber que sea una vida plena.

I turned in my seat. Will’s face was in shadow and I couldn’t quite make it out.‘Just hold on. Just for a minute.’‘Are you all right?’ I found my gaze dropping towards his chair, afraid...

It is the death of hope that comes as the greatest relief

And because, most crazy of all, all that kindness, all that magnificence, was sitting there just because of his words

I had a hundred and seventeen days in which to convince Will Traynor that he had a reason to live.

Just live well. Just live

It’s just that the thing you never understand about being a mother, until you are one, is that it is not the grown man – the galumphing, unshaven, stinking, opinionated off-spring – you see before...

So this is it. You are scored on my heart, Clark.

The triumph of hope over experience.

And there it was. He knew it, and I knew it. There was nothing left for me to do. Do you know how hard it is to say nothing ? When every atom of you...

—No puedo hacer esto porque no puedo ser… —Tragó saliva—. No puedo ser el hombre que quiero ser al estar contigo. Y eso significa que todo esto —me miró a la cara— solo es… otro...

I liked the fact that I could be who I wanted to be without my sister’s voice reminding me of who I had been.

Don’t you think it’s actually harder for you . . . to adapt, I mean? Because you’ve done all that stuff?’‘Are you asking me if I wish I’d never done it?’‘I’m just wondering if it...

Marianne touches his elbow, halting him. ‘You know I’ll tell you something about being married five times. Or married five times and still friends with my surviving ex-husbands’. She counts them on gnarled fingers. ‘That...

And it was suddenly very simple: There was no choice.

Because even if the whole world was throwing rocks at you, if you still had your mother or father at your back, you’d be okay.

A face whose emotions had not yet been battered by experience.

Kind eyes under all the mascara.

I thought the world had actually ended. I thought nothing good could ever happen again. I thought anything might happen if I wasn’t vigilant. I didn’t eat. I didn’t go out. I didn’t want to...

The only thing Jess really cared about were those two children and letting them know they were okay. Because even if the whole world was throwing rocks at you, if you had your mother at...

I know this isn’t a conventional love story. I know there are all sorts of reasons I shouldn’t even be saying what I am. But I love you. I do. I knew it when I...

Live boldly. Push yourself. Don’t settle.

I stared out of the window at the bright-blue Swiss sky and I told him a story of two people. Two people who shouldn’t have met, and who didn’t like each other much when they...

I worked out what would make me happy, and I worked out what I wanted to do, and I trained myself to do the job that would make those two things happen’ ‘You make it...

He dropped his head and kissed her. He kisses her and it was a kiss of utter certainty, the kind of kiss during which monarchs die and whole continents fall without your even noticing.

I want him to live if HE wants to live. If he doesn’t, then by forcing him to carry on, you, me….. we become just another shitty bunch of people taking away his choices.

Ser atirada para dentro de uma vida totalmente diferente — ou, pelo menos, jogada com tanta força na vida de outra pessoa a ponto de parecer bater com a cara na janela dela — obriga...

Real friends were the kind where you pick up where you’d left off, whether it be a week since you’d seen each other or two years.

Pasilik sau prabangą žinoti, kad tebeturi kitų galimybių

We were enjoying one of those rare summers of utter freedom – no financial responsibility, no debts, no time owing to anybody.

Precisava dar ao meu filho um lugar para onde olhar. Precisava dizer a ele, silenciosamente, que as coisas poderiam mudar, crescer ou fenecer, mas que a vida continuaria. Que todos nós éramos parte de um...

There is a whole lot more to life than winning.

Some mistakes… Just have greater consequences than others. But you don’t have to let the result of one mistake be the thing that defines you. You, Clark, have the choice not to let that happen.

Marveling at the 180 degree swings of life in general.

Você só vive uma vez. É sua obrigação aproveitar a vida da melhor forma possível.

She was always tired, these days. She put on one of those smiles that wasn’t really a smile at all, and they went on.

…I told him a story of two people. Two people who shouldn’t have met, and who didn’t like each other much when they did, but who found they were the only two people in the...

But don’t blame me for the food. My wife knows a hundred and one ways to incinerate a cow, and as far as I can tell she’s still experimenting.

Only you, Will Traynor, could tell a woman how to wear a bloody dress.

She had the world’s worst poker face: her feelings floated across them like reflections on a still pond.
