"You didn't mess up...."
"I must have. Because when I look at you, I see myself, and to be honest, I'd rather see someone different. I'd like to see someone who learned that it's okay to go on, that it's okay to find someone that can make you happy. But right now, it's like I'm looking in the mirror and seeing myself twenty years ago.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle

“You've gotten so caught up in being alone that you're afraid of what might happen if you actually find someone else that can take you away from it.”

“One of the things I've learned in my life is that sometimes you've got to take a chance.”

“It's probably not going to lead to anything. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. If everyone who thought they might fail didn't even try, where would we be today?”
