A Walk To Remember: My Favorite Lines

God is merciful to children, but the children must be worthy as well.

Without suffering, there'd be no compassion.

Wishing someone luck before a play is supposed to be bad luck.

Sometimes, when you remember the things you used to do, it makes you wince...

Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.

You know its love when all you want to do is spend time with the other person, and you sort of know that the other person feels the same way.

I don’t think that we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.

I cry to you, my lord, my rock!

Do not be deaf to me, for if you are silent, I shall go down to the pit like the rest. Hear my voice raised in petition as I cry to you for help, as I raise my hands, my Lord, toward your holy of holes.



I know the Lord has a plan for us all, but sometimes, I just don't understand what the message can be.

You feel fine, and then, when your body can't keep fighting, you don't

Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.

If you put your trust in God, you’ll be all right in the end.

If people don't like you, or they think you're strange, then that's their problem.


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

Miracles can happen

A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Spark

After a short break, Nicholas Sparks made entry to my bookshelf again. This was one book I had high hopes with. The expectations were partially met. There were some moments in the book that were exceptionally "Marvellous" (The depth of word would be known by reading the book...! ;))
I started the pages with little apprehension and for some initial chapters; I was convinced that I am not going to fall for it. But as I progressed, I realized that I could not put it down till it was finished.
A Walk To Remember is the story of Landon Carter who goes in flashback to narrate his love story. Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan are perfectly portrayed as two teenagers completely different from each other. I read somewhere that it’s a "typical story of a jerk guy who fell in love to the swan".
My favorite part of the book was every time when Landon reminded himself not to fall in love with Jamie. It was really cute on how he defends himself again and again.
For a change, Nicholas Sparks did not make his characters fall in love overnight on a delicious dinner made by male lead. The love-birds took their own sweet time to do so.
I could personally relate to some instances in the book like when Jamie finally said those three magical words to Landon and the way Landon's friends kept teasing him for Jamie. We have seen the making of many couples from this teasing like this - Friends keep teasing two good friends until they start thinking if they are truly in love.
Then, there were times which actually brought tears to my eyes and then made me smile. I imagined myself and my loved ones in the place of different characters at different moments.
BY almost half of book, I was bit surprised that Mr. Sparks did not allow me to write down some quotes from this one. But slowly, my notepad was full of love.
