Picking movie or book lines that strike through our bones is one of our favorite things that we do while watching or reading books. Agree or not? 

Some readers even have their own highlighter or sticky notes so they couldn't miss their favorite lines. And if you are watching a film, you would just suddenly smile after hearing something that will remind you of someone. "It's him!" or "that's so me!", you'll say. Or maybe you're going to tap someone beside you, "this so you!"

After that, you're going to pick your phone and will post it to your SMAs intended for someone (This is me! Haha!). Some readers use these lines to remind them of the book that they've read but for me, it's part of loving the book. 

How do I pick my favorite quotes? It depends on how it hits my head. The hardest, the most memorable! Most of the time, I pick my favorite lines because I can totally relate to them. 

So here are my favorite Lines from Gayle Forman's book, If I Stay:

"Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes, choices make you"

This is actually my most favorite line from this book. It reminds me of the past decisions I made and how they made me today. Yes, I did regret some of them.  But at some point, I realize the importance of making bad choices because they led me to where I am now. 

2. 

“And that's just it, isn't it? That's how we manage to survive the loss. Because love, it never dies, it never goes away, it never fades, so long as you hang on to it.”

This reminds me of someone saying, "we might not end up together but please know that my love for you will always stay with me". Is it actually true that our love for someone never dies? The love from the Supreme Being, yes! It never dies. But how about this romantic love that all of us are longing to get from someone? I want to leave this question to you, my dear readers. I have to be honest, I am still trying to test for myself if this is actually real. 

But I believe this line is mostly accurate. Well, I think It depends on how genuine and what kind of love you actually have for someone. We love when are loved. We love until we can. But remember,  there are always limits. Keep in mind that the wound from hanging on to a love that is totally crashing is more painful than the one you'll get from letting go. 

Where did I get these thoughts? I'm overwhelmed! Haha! 

3. 

“But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow.”

If you're a woman hearing this from a man, I could imagine you grinning from ear to ear. This is the kind of love that most people are looking for. But remember that there's  also a famous line saying,  "love is is proven by time and actions and not only by beautiful words."

How about you, dear readers? What are your favorite lines from this book? I would be happier if you can send me your ideas through the comments section below.
