Nicholas Sparks
Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist, screenwriter, and film producer born on December 31, 1965.
He attended Bella Vista High School before going on to study at the University of Notre Dame. Those years of education preceded a career that would stretch across multiple storytelling formats, with Sparks taking on roles not only as a prose writer but also as a screenwriter and film producer. That range of work means his involvement in a story doesn't necessarily end when the manuscript does.
At age 28, Sparks wrote The Notebook over a period of six months. The compressed timeline of its composition — just half a year from start to finish — is a concrete detail about how he approached that particular project. His work as a novelist sits alongside his screenwriting and producing credits, and together those three roles define the shape of his career: a writer who also participates in how stories move from the page to other formats. The fact that The Notebook was drafted in six months remains one of the more specific and documented details about his process as a novelist.
Quotes by Nicholas Sparks
Nicholas Sparks's insights on:

A person with autism lives in his own world, while a person with Asperger's lives in our world, in a way of his own choosing.

In the blink of an eye, something happens by chance when you least expect it sets you on a course that you never planned, into a future you never imagined.

I finally understood what true love meant. Love meant, that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.

Don't think there are no second chances. Life always offers you a SECOND CHANCE... It's called TOMORROW.

Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face—I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself.

I finally understood what true love meant. Love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.

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'd hoped to give you forever.

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
