" 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.”
  • “I hadn't done any of the things that I normally did with girls, yet somehow I'd fallen in love.”
  • “A surprise trigonometry quiz that everyone in class fails? Must be in the Lord’s plan to give us challenges.”
  • “When I was seventeen, my life changed forever . . . ”
  • “Landon: [voiceover] Jamie saved my life. She taught me everything. About life, hope and the long journey ahead. I'll always miss her. But our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it.”
  • “Life, I've learned, is never fair. If people teach anything in school, that should be it.”
