Quotes by: “Dawson's Creek”:

Every time I'm supposed to come see him I trick myself into thinking that it's gonna be different this time. But it never is. It's always just different shades of the same.

This is one of those rare milestone events that separates the first half of your life from everything that follows.

Well, he's playing a little hard to get, which is somewhat disconcerting, but no worries. He'll be mine

Quick and easy answer would be that I was really, really busy and there just wasn't any time. Which is true, but... it's not really it, because I thought about you all the time, and about what you said about how everything would just kind of work itself out between us and it just... made me feel so good about us. I just...well, I guess I didn't want to ruin that feeling. Does that make any sense?

This is about how you carried my bag off the bus yesterday. This is about how... When we go to the movies and you go and you buy a popcorn you always make sure you bring back a napkin so I don't wipe all the grease on my jeans. And this is about how just last week when we were at miniature golf you took all of the shots first so I would know the correct path. you taught me how to drive. And last year at prom... You knew that the bracelet I was wearing was my mom's. You kissed me first, sweetheart. The second time... [She removes his shirt] You counted to 10 before doing it again just in case I wanted to stop you. You bought me a wall. we were alone on a boat for 3 months and you understood without a word why I wasn't ready. Do you have to ask me now why I am? Pace. I'm gonna count to 10... And then I’m going to start kissing you. If you don't want me to... then you're just gonna have to stop me. ..10, my love.

Maybe I was trying too hard, but I didn't want to miss my chance to dance with you, to hold you, to make you remember what it's like between us. I thought if only I could make tonight perfect…

At a certain point, the whole thing just becomes too much to process, and your brain gets taken out of the loop, and all you have to rely on is your heart, your natural human instincts. It's liberating... not at first of course, at first it's terrifying, like falling... but that's the point, isn't it?

well guess what? it is, so sucks for you, huh? or maybe it doesn't. maybe you’re gonna get off easy after all, its only my heart that's gonna get even the slightest bit broken.

for the first time, in a long time, my life is real, it doesn’t matter who ends up with who, because in some unearthly way, it's always gonna be you and me.

And you need to go this time. You need to see for yourself. I can sit here and tell you that it’s a colossal mistake, that all roads lead back to me, but it doesn’t matter. Words, speeches... they sound great, but they don’t add up to anything. All that matters right now is what you want.

If you wanted to sleep with him -- even for a second -- maybe it wasn't wrong after all. Maybe it was your heart telling you that I'm not the one. Because that's what my heart's telling me now. That you're not the one

We talk like we know what's going on, but we don't. We don't know anything. We're really young and we're gonna screw-up a lot. We're gonna keep changing our minds and even sometimes our hearts. And through all that, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness

Dawson: Jo, you're not a bad friend. I don't get to say it much anymore, but... You're my best friend. You always were. No matter where you are, no matter where your life may take you, and no matter who you're with...
Joey: You'll always have a piece of my heart.
Dawson: Something like that.
Joey: Yeah. Doesn't have to be a huge piece.
Dawson: No, no, no, no. Not a huge piece. Just enough. You know, tiny piece.

If you felt even one shred of what I feel for you, we wouldn't be standing here having this conversation.

im not dismissing the beautiful ideal of soulmates, but the reality of eternal coupling, quite frankly, boils down to one thing, faith, ask yourself this question, is she the kind of person you are willing to take a very big leap of faith for?

tobey: that stupid fantasy where the guy who broke your heart suddenly realizes that hes made the biggest mistake of his life, and he finds you, wherever you are, comes running up to you and says "i cant live without you, you are my entire existence and universe and if you dont take me back right now, i will never love anyone again", where does this fantasy come from?
jen: movies... television... that place in your heart where there is still hope
tobey: hope, i wish there was something you could take for that, some kind of pill that made you stop hoping for something that probably isnt even good for you to begin with

your whole life is about to change in a way that it will never be the same again, your opening a new chapter, and you have to give a proper goodbye to the old one, you dont want to miss these moments, even the sad ones, because you'll never get them back again, so enjoy this time, let it wash over you so that your memories of it are strong

so the only thing i could think of that unites us all, that we all have in common, is that we start out in kindergarten thinking we can be anything we want to be, and by the time we get here, we've all lost that feeling, we've all started to believe whatever our friends or our parents have told us about what we can achieve in life, and who we can be, and we've forgotten about the possibility we had when we were younger, thats the one thing we all have in common, so thats the symbol on this moral means, possibility, i painted it because i thought we could all use a little daily reminder of the fact that if you believe in yourself, even when the odds seem stacked against you, anything is possible

What we have goes beyond friendship, beyond lovers -- its forever.

I mean, you -- me, we're exactly the way we've always been and I am so tired of it.

Maybe some friendships aren't meant to be saved. maybe we're meant to spend a 
certain part of our life with certain people...and then move on.

Have faith that things will work out for the best..that whatever sent us off in 
different directions is the very same thing that will bring us back together.
