“When you lose your best friend it's not always because they go somewhere, like Noah's best friend did. Sometimes you're the one who goes somewhere. What if you go somewhere and you don't know it?
How do you make it better when you went somewhere and you didn't know it then, but you do now?”

“Ben: You know what's really great about baseball?
Lindsey Meeks: Hmm?
Ben: You can't fake it. You know, anything else in life you don't have to be great in - business, music, art - I mean you can get lucky.
Lindsey Meeks: Really?

Lindsey Meeks: Hmm.
Ben: You know?

Lindsey Meeks: Life?
Ben: Yeah. It's - it's safe.”

“The way he said her name made my heart cramp. In all my years of word collecting, I've learned this to be a tried and true fact: I can very often tell how much a person loves another person by the way they say their name. I think that's one of the best feelings in the world, when you know your name is safe in another person's mouth. When you know they'll never shout it out like a cuss word, but say it or whisper it like a once-upon-a-time.”
