Inspiring quotes from the book:
“You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.”
I found this quote really meaningful because of the truth inside it. Sometimes we do things because other people want us to do it for them, but there has to come a time when you start to make your own decisions. The best thing to do when you aren't sure of something is to follow your heart, and do what you think is right. I believe that doing what's right for you comes before anything else. In times when you feel lonely or unsure of yourself, this quote could become really motivating. This is your life, not someone else's.

“It's the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.”
There's no guarantee when it comes to life. This quote teaches me that I should keep doing things because there's always a possibility that I will succeed, although there is no guarantee. If you only focus on whether or not there will be a guarantee, you'll be too concerned about it to actually achieve anything. Life isn't much without a challenge, so I have to keep going with the hope that one day I will make it.

“Sometimes we need to be apart to understand just how much we truly love each other.”
People get into fights and sometimes it's like they hate each other. But from this quote, I can learn that people need their distance before truly realizing how much they miss each other. Allie hadn't seen Noah in a long time, and that was when she realized how much she loved Noah. The same thing applies to other situations in life; the longer you stay apart from the one you love, the more you miss that person. I find it really inspiring because even if someone's hasn't talked to you in a while, that doesn't mean they've forgotten about you, but rather that they just miss you more and more as the days pass by.

“You and I were different. We came from different worlds, and yet you were the one who taught me the value of love. You showed me what it was like to care for another, and I am a better man because of it. I don't want you to ever forget that.”
This quote is more romantic than inspiring, but it's deep and conveys Noah's feelings toward Allie. You may feel at some point that nobody cares about you, that you aren't worth anything. But this quote shows how much one person can mean to another. Different people can come together, and that special person can teach you how to love. One shouldn't hate on everything in the world, but love it because love is stronger than hate.

“I know, but no matter what I choose I have to live with it. Forever. I have to be able to go forward and not look back anymore. Can you understand that?”
To me, this is an essential life lesson, to never look back and keep going. If something bad happens, for example, you break up with someone, you can't keep dwelling on that fact forever. You have to learn to move on with life, or else you'll be forever stuck in that time. Don't ever look back, just smile for the future because things will turn out better. I've learned this lesson myself a couple of years ago when I broke up with one of my best elementary school friends. I never realized the truth about her until later, and at first I couldn't accept the fact that we weren't friends anymore. But eventually, I learned to continue forward and look forward to tomorrow.
