The Wish

by Nicholas Sparks

And in the end, isn’t that the most important thing in life? To be truly known and loved by someone you’ve chosen?”

“It’s important to remember that none of us is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. All we can do is try to be the best version of ourselves as we move forward. In this case, if he asks, you can tell the truth, or you can lie. I suppose it comes down to the kind of person you want to see when you look in the mirror.”

‘When one loves, one does not calculate.’

Wanting to be with someone is a positive thing. It’s about love and respect and desire. But not wanting to lose someone isn’t about those things. It’s about fear.”

“But never forget that love is always stronger than fear. Love saved me, and I know it will save you, too.”
