- » LOVE IS PATIENT LOVE IS KIND «
- “Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.”
- “Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”
- “I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wondering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn’t. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.”
- Finally getting control of myself I kissed her again, then brought my hand to her face, gently running my fingers over her cheek. I marveled at the softness of her skin, the gentleness I saw in her eyes. even now she was perfect. My throat began to tighten again, but as I said, I knew what I had to do. Since I had to accept that it was not within my power to cure her, what I wanted to do was give her something that she’d wanted. It was what my heart had been telling me to do all along. Jamie, I understood then, had already given me the answer I’d been searching for, the answer my heart needed to find. She’d told me outside Mr. Jenkins office, the night we’d asked him about doing the play. I smiled softly, and she returned my affection with a slight squeeze of my hand, as if trusting me in what I was about to do. Encouraged, I leaned closer and took a deep breath. When I exhaled, these were the words that flowed with my breath. ‘Will you marry me?”
- “It wasn’t that long, and it certainly wasn’t the kind of kiss you see in movies these days, but it was wonderful in its own way, and all I can remember about the moment is that when our lips touched, I knew the memory would last forever.”
- “First you will smile, and then you will cry — don’t say you haven’t been warned.”
- “Landon: im sorry she never got her miracle.
Hegbert: she did get her miracle, landon.
her miracle was you.” - “The problem isn’t finding out where you are gonna go-its figuring out what you are gonna do once you get there that is! (Jamie Sullivan)”
- “A sad smile crossed her face, and I knew right then what she was trying to tell me. Her eyes never left mine as she finally said the words that numbed my soul.
I’m dying, Landon.” - “Jamie: You know what I figured out today?
Landon: What?
Jamie: 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.” - “It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make. In every way, a walk to remember.”
- “Landon: I might kiss you.
Jamie: I might be bad at it.
Landon: That’s not possible.” - “There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.”
- “Jamie: Please don’t pretend like you know me, ok?
Landon: But I do, I do. We’ve had all the same classes in the same school since kindergarten. Why you’re Jamie Sullivan. You sit at lunch table 7. Which isn’t exactly the reject table, but is definitely in self exile territory. You have exactly one sweater. You like to look at your feet when you walk. Oh, oh, and yeah, for fun, you like to tutor on weekends and hang out with the cool kids from «Stars and Planets.» Now how does that sound?
Jamie: Thoroughly predictable, nothing I haven’t heard before.
Landon: You don’t care what people think about you?
Jamie: No.” - “Aren’t you frightened?»
Somehow I expected her to say no, to say something wise like a grownup would, or to explain that we can’t presume to understand the Lord’s plan.
She looked away. «Yes,» she finally said, «I’m frightened all the time.»
«Then why don’t you act like it?»
«I do. I just do it in private.»
«Because you don’t trust me?»
«No,» she said, «because I know you’re frightened, too.” - “I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it to the earnestness of others.”

“Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.”

Nicholas Sparks,
A Walk to Remember
“Do you love me?’ I asked her. She smiled. ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you want me to be happy?’ as I asked her this I felt my heart beginning to race. ‘Of course I do.’ ‘Will you do something for me then?’ She looked away, sadness crossing her features. ‘I don’t know if I can anymore.’ she said. ‘but if you could, would you?’ I cannot adequately describe the intensity of what I was feeling at that moment. Love, anger, sadness, hope, and fear, whirling together sharpened by the nervousness I was feeling. Jamie looked at me curiously and my breaths became shallower. Suddenly I knew that I’d never felt as strongly for another person as I did at that moment. As I returned her gaze, this simple realization made me wish for the millionth time that I could make all this go away. Had it been possible, I would have traded my life for hers. I wanted to tell her my thoughts, but the sound of her voice suddenly silenced the emotions inside me. ‘yes’ she finally said, her voice weak yet somehow still full of promise. ‘I would.’ Finally getting control of myself I kissed her again, then brought my hand to her face, gently running my fingers over her cheek. I marveled at the softness of her skin, the gentleness I saw in her eyes. even now she was perfect. My throat began to tighten again, but as I said, I knew what I had to do.

About BookQuoters
BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful,
memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and
more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become
more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a
philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book
and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and
choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is
interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept
submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to
the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people
who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous
world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is
typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel
that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but
offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.

“In front of God and everyone else, I’d promised my love and devotion. In sickness and in health, and I’d never felt so good about anything. It was, I remember, the most wonderful moment of my life.”
“With Jamie, everything was in the Lord’s plan . . . She always mentioned the Lord’s plan whenever you talked to her, no matter what the subject. The baseball game’s rained out? Must be the Lord’s plan to prevent something worse from happening. A surprise trigonometry quiz that everyone in class fails? Must be in the Lord’s plan to give us challenges.”
“I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wondering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn’t. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.”
“First you will smile, and then you will cry—don’t say you haven’t been warned.”
“‘I want to get married,” she said quietly. ‘And when I do, I want my father to walk me down the aisle and I want everyone I know to be there. I want the church bursting with people.’”
“Though I was probably the richest kid in school, I was by no means the most popular.”
“My breathing suddenly went still. I looked at Jamie, then up to the ceiling and around the room, doing my best to keep my composure, then back to Jamie again. She smiled at me and I smiled at her and all I could do was wonder how I’d ever fallen in love with a girl like Jamie Sullivan.”
“In my mind, it was the first time that God had ever spoken directly to me, and I knew with certainty that I wasn’t going to disobey.”
“Without suffering, there’d be no compassion.”
“Jamie helped everyone—she was one of those equal opportunity saints.”
“Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it.”
“I began to pray for a miracle.”
“The next day I spent fourteen hours memorizing my lines, cursing my friends, and wondering how my life had spun so out of control.”
“Life, I’ve learned, is never fair. If people teach anything in school, that should be it.”
“It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone had to make.
In every way, a walk to remember.”

— Is he here yet?
— No.
— You scared him.
— I gotta take a massive piss.
Dude, any excuse for you
to pull that thing out.
Anyone got any beer?
We finished them all back at school.
Besides, you’ve had enough.
I’ve got one. It’s not cold,
but it’s yours if you want it.
All you gotta do is sit up, beg,
roll over and shake that booty.
— Thanks a lot, Eric.
— Anytime, anywhere.
— This is gonna be sweet.
— I’m glad I thought of it.
You’re animals.
Just because he’s new.
You’ve talked sh*t the whole time.
Why don’t you be quiet?
You know how it is.
Nobody’s forcing him to show up.
What if he doesn’t?
I want to go back to the dance.
Belinda, why don’t you go back
to the dance by yourself?
I wasn’t talking to you, Dean.
You know I don’t dance.
It’s true. I’ve seen him bust a move.
It ain’t pretty.
But a brother like me is ready
to get his freak on. What you say?
Put it away before you hurt somebody.
Like yourself.
He’s here!
All right, here he comes.
Hey, check out the Safari Joe truck.
I can’t wait to see you fly!
Hey, nice shirt, Opie.
You’re late.
I thought I said be here at 10,
but you know…
When I say be here at 10, be here.
Can you remember that next time?
If there is a next time!
Dean! Is he always like that?
Always, man. So how about it?
You ready to fly?
Wait up, baby!
Let me get on your back.
Giddyap! Giddyap!
Okay, here’s the deal.
You’re gonna jump
from up there into here.
That’s it, and you’re one of us. Okay?
— You ready?
— Yeah.
All right. All right.
Let’s do this, okay?
It’s cake, man.
Hell, I’m jumping with you.
— How deep is this?
— I don’t really know.
Let’s go find out.
Let’s do it.
Yeah! Sh*t, yeah!
Come on, let’s go!
Jump!
— You done this?
— We’ve all done it.
— I hope you had your Wheaties!
— You guys gonna do this tonight?
On three.
One.
Two.
Three!
Oh, sh*t.
Landon, he’s hurt!
— Is he okay?
— Landon, get down here!
— What the hell?
— Dean, what the hell?
— You guys, he’s hurt!
— Come on, man!
— I told you it was a bad idea!
— Get him out of the water!
— Hurry up!
— Is he dead? What are we gonna do?
Help me!
— Get him over here!
— There’s a pipe. He must have hit it!
Get him out of the water!
Watch his head! Watch his head!
Hey, who’s down there?
Tracie, come on!
Central, we’ve got trespassers.
Send a squad car.
Come on, Landon.
Come on!
You guys, just take him!
Give me his arms!
I got him.
We gotta get out of here.
— Go! Get out of here!
— Landon, come on!
I told you not to do this!
Calm down.
Belinda, let’s go!
Come on, get in! I’m driving.
Damn it!
Sh*t!
Put your hands on the wheel.
You know, Mama,
my leg really hurts today.
I don’t think I can go anyplace.
— Maybe I should call your father.
— No.
I’m not talking to him.
This has gotta stop between you two.
You can’t do that. You need a father.
Let us be thankful today
that a life was saved by our Lord.
And let us pray for the lives
of the others involved…
…who are clearly not
on the path of righteousness.
— So how’s the leg, man?
— It’s good.
I can’t believe you were in jail.
— What’d you tell them?
— It was a nice night for a drive.
Ended up at the cement factory,
found Gephardt.
Tried to help him, got spooked.
Figured I’d leave before
they thought I was involved.
Gotta hand it to you.
You’re a Jedi Master of bullshit.
Damn, that Jamie Sullivan
sure has style.
Wore that dress in the fourth grade.
It’s the quiet ones you gotta watch.
She might put it on a brother
like a Pop-Tart.
A little maintenance,
she might not look bad.
