The Notebook

Behind every great love is a great story

Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They are shooting stars---a spectacular moment of light in the heavens-- fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone

Noah: I could be fun if you want, pensive, smart, superstitious, brave.. and i could be light on my feet. I could be whatever you want, you just tell me what you want and I'll be that for you.
Allie: you're dumb
Noah: I could be that

Allie: Now, say you're a bird.
Noah: If you're a bird, I'm a bird

Southern summers are indifferent to the trials of young love--armed with warning and doubts, noah and allie gave a remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy and a girl traveling down a very long road with no regard of the consequences

Allie: Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now its too late.
Noah: I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year.
Allie: You wrote me?
Noah: Yes
Noah: It wasn't over, it still isn't over..

Thats is what we do...We fight. You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of the bitch and i tell you when you are a pain in that ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I am not afriad to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound. And you go back doing the next another pain in the ass thing.

Noah: Get in the water.
Allie: No! I'm scared.
Noah: [yelling] Get in the water, woman! Get in the water!
Noah: No I'm sorry baby, please just get in. GET IN THE WATER!

They didn't agree on much, in fact, they rarely agreed on anything, they fought all the time and they challenged each other everyday, but despite their differences they had one important thing in common, they were crazy about each other

That's my sweetheart in there. Wherever she is, that's where my home is.

It was an improbable romance. He was a country boy, she was from the city. She had the world at her feet, while he didn't have two dimes to rub together...

Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I though that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.
Allie: What easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.
Noah: Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want? What do you WANT?

A woman knows when a man looks into her eyes and sees someone else

Noah:I had to be next to you, I was being drawn to you
Allie: Nice line... you use that on all the girls?
Noah: No

I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.

Allie: then you can come with me
Noah: to New York? what am I gonna do in New York?
Allie: be with me...

Allie: What happens if a car comes?
Noah: you die

My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter any more, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah
