We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day.
Gayle FormanNo hay nada que perder. O tal vez ya lo he perdido, y encontrado, y cualquier otra cosa que puede que pierda, no tiene nada que ver con lo que está en este momento.
Gayle FormanAplaudo hasta que mis manos arden. Aplaudo como si haciéndolo pudiera alargar la noche, como si pudiera transformar la Noche de Reyes en una noche de veinticuatro horas. Aplaudo para poder aferrarme a este sentimiento. Aplaudo porque sé lo que sucederá cuando me detenga. Es lo mismo que pasa cuando apago una muy buena película —una en la que me he sumergido— que es ser lanzada de regreso a mi propia realidad y un vacío se instalará en mi pecho. Algunas veces, miraré una película una y otra vez para recuperar esa sensación de estar dentro de algo real. Lo cual, lo sé, no tiene sentido.
Gayle FormanPart of me knows one more day won't do anything except postpone the heartbreak. But another part of me believes differently. We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day.

When I was little, I used to go to the local ice-skating rink. In my mind, I always felt like I could twirl and jump, but when I got out onto the ice, I could barely keep my blades straight. When I got older, that's how it was with people: In my mind, I am bold and forthright, but what comes out always seems to be so meek and polite. Even with Evan, my boyfriend for junior and most of senior year, I never quite managed to be that skating, twirling, leaping person I suspected I could be. But today, apparently, I can skate.
Gayle FormanIf I stay. If I live. It’s up to me.
All this business about medically induced comas is just doctor talk. It’s not up to the doctors. It’s not up to the absentee angels. It’s not even up to God who, if He exists, is nowhere around right now. It’s up to me.

Sometimes the best way to find out what you’re supposed to do is by doing the thing you’re not supposed to do.
