In a generation when romance often seems to be an afterthought, romance writer Nicholas Sparks has made even the most cynical of us soften towards the idea of love. From A Walk to Remember to The Notebook here are 15 of the best love quotes from Nicholas Sparks films that will melt even the most cynical heart.
1. “If we’d never met, I think I would have known that my life wasn’t complete. And I would have wandered the world in search of you, even if I didn’t know who I was looking for.”
2. “Love is like the wind; you can’t see it but you can feel it.”
– A Walk To Remember
3. “Young and old, male or female, pretty much everyone she knew wanted the same things: They wanted to feel peace in their hearts, they wanted a life without turmoil, they wanted to be happy. The difference, Adrienne thought, was that most young people seemed to think that those things lay somewhere in the future, while most older people believed that they lay in the past.”
4. “We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened 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.”
– The Notebook
5. “That’s the thing about being the product of happily married parents. You grow up thinking the fairy tale is real, and more than that, you think you’re entitled to live it.”
6. “I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.”
7. “He was a wonderful man. And when a man is that special, you know it sooner than you think possible. You recognize it instinctively, and you’re certain that no matter what happens, there will never be another one like him.”
8. “You are, and always have been, my dream.”
– The Notebook
9. “When she looked up at him, it was suddenly easy for her to imagine that her fears were pointless. That he would love her no matter what she told him, and that he was the kind of man who loved her already and would love her forever.”
10. “I know you miss me terribly. I miss you, too. But we still have each other, for I am — and always have been — part of you. You carry me in your heart, just as I carried you in mine, and nothing can ever change that. I love you, my darling, and you love me. Hold on to that feeling. Hold on to us. And little by little, you will find a way to heal.”
– The Longest Ride
11. “Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I’m sick. To help me through all this. You’re my angel.”
– A Walk To Remember
12. “Love is fragile. And we’re not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives against all odds.”
13. “Love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”
– Dear John
14. “They didn’t agree on much. In fact, they didn’t agree on anything. They fought all the time and challenged each other every day. But despite their differences, they had one important thing in common. They were crazy about each other.”
–The Notebook
15. “True love is rare, and it’s the only thing that gives life real meaning.”
– Message In A Bottle
