80+ 'A Walk to Remember' Quotes That Will Have You Up In Your Feels

Nicholas Sparks’ 1999 novel A Walk to Remember became one of the most popular love stories of our generation when it was turned into a film in 2002 starring Mandy Moore and Shane West. The heartbreaking story about love, acceptance, and loss takes viewers (or readers) on an emotional roller coaster over the course of its 102 minutes, and even decades later, it remains one of the most quotable movies. Also, we may have all fallen in love with West’s Landon Carter during this film — who doesn’t love a guy who changes his ways as he falls in love with a woman who is clearly better than him? Anyway, if you’re in the mood to be all up in your feels over this classic film, check out the best quotes from A Walk to Remember and then turn up the funny factor with some Bridesmaids quotes after that!

Before we dive into the quotes, let’s give credit where credit is due and acknowledge that there is no Moore in This Is Us without Moore in A Walk To Remember. That said, let the nostalgia wash all over you, and enjoy this clip of her singing from the big moment in the film.
