Gayle Forman Quotes

Life is a little like a message in a bottle, to be carried by the winds and the tides.

The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.

Life is never all one thing. It bounces around. Certainly, my own life has.

You never know how life turns out.

Niall: We're tossed by the winds of fate. Once we end where they blow us, we make of ourselves that we will.

If you're going through difficult times today, hold steady. It will change soon. If you are experiencing smooth sailing and easy times now, brace yourself. It will change soon. The only thing you can be certain of is change.

Chance. It weaves through our lives like a golden thread, sometimes knotting, tangling, and breaking along the way. Loose threads are left hanging, but the in and out, the back and forth continues, the weaving goes on. It doesn't stop.

With every gust of wind, the butterfly changes its place on the willow.

Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind and I don't worry about my destiny.

I just took it one step at a time and let fate determine my destiny.

Just true to form with life sometimes - what you're trying to do doesn't necessarily work out, but what ends up happening can be a lot better. I just relax and say whatever is going to happen - happens.

Remember that life's big changes rarely give advance warning.
