Check out my selection of The Notebook quotes and sayings.
Yes, I am referring to the lines from popular 2004 tearjerker film “The Notebook”.
This sleeper hit movie based on the best-selling romantic novel of the same title by Nicholas Sparks.
The romantic drama film stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as the young couple.
“The Notebook” was inspired by the story of the grandparents of author Sparks’ wife; who had been married over sixty years when Sparks met them.
The movie and the book have very different endings.
This emotionally-charged story has touched many romantic souls.
