The Notebook.


Here are a few quotes from the New York Times Best Selling author, 'The Notebook' :

'Time, unfortunately, doesn't make it easy to stay on course. The path is straight as ever, but now it is strewn with the rocks and gravel that accumulate over a lifetime.'

'They are friends and we talk often, but I am sure they wonder about me and the things I go through everyday.'

'I have always been a firm believer in God and the power of prayer, though to be honest, my faith has made for a list of questions I definitely want answered after I'm gone.'

"And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee."

"You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love."

'It's the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee, a sort of wager on my part. And though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe anything is possible.'

'I realize the odds, and science, are against me. But science is not the total answer; this I know, this i've learned in my lifetime. And that leaves me with the belief that miracles, not matter how inexplicable or unbelievable, are real and can occur without regard to the natural order of things.'

'Dusk, I realized then, 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?

  1. I can never get bored of this movie and the best quote that applies to me the most is .. "You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love." .. because if you live your life for others .. where do you end up?
