Quotes by: “Dawson's Creek”:

Pacey: (placing his hand to her ear) Where did you get those? They're not you. 
Joey: Why? Because I'm just a poor tom-boy, or because Dawson gave them to me? 
Pacey: Neither. (taking her wrist which has a bracelet on it) You see this? This is you. It's not showy, or gaudy... it's simple. Elegant. Beautiful. 
Joey: It's my mom's bracelet. 
Pacey: I know. 
Joey: (surprised) How do you know? 
Pacey: Well, because you told me. Six months ago. You were wearing that, uh, blue sweater, with the snowflakes that you have.

Joey: You remember that? 
Pacey: I remember everything.

I've become someone who hates themself so much, that I can't even look in a mirror, and I wish being with you didn't make it worse, but it does, because the more you love me in spite of all this, the angrier at you I get, and the more I stop loving you back.

I’ve seen how much she loves him. I’ve seen it on her face. I’ve seen them kiss. I’ve seen them hold hands. And tonight, I saw them fighting – which is something I’ve basically been seeing every day of my life since first grade and i think it was actually worse than the kissing

Dawson: more than what? More than us? You don't know, do you? You've never known. The entire time I've known you, all you've wanted to do is escape. From me, from Capeside. I mean, you say that I'm the dreamer. I'm the one who doesn't wanna live in the real world. Well, I'm doing it, Joey. Right now. I'm living in the real world. It's you who wants the fantasy

Joey: I was scared. 
Dawson: Of what? 
Joey: Of going backwards, of never growing up. 
Dawson: That's what I represent to you? 
Joey: No, not you. Us. I started this year thinking that I had to say good-bye to you, but I was wrong. Dawson, you're a huge part of my life-- past, present, and future-- and I have to start getting used to that because... you make my life better, not worse

Because I have to tell you that I am really truly sorry for everything, and I'm sorry that I wasn't completely truthful with you, and I'm sorry for my predilection for the company of older women. It's just that... [Sighs] This has been a really strange year for me, Audrey, 'cause while the rest of you guys were off doin' the whole college thing, I was just doin' my best to stay afloat, and, believe me, nobody's handin' out road maps for the road less traveled. You just kinda gotta get on and start drivin'.

And I know that you and I don't actually even know each other that well yet, but...[Sighs] I'm sure that I could live without you, I'm just not sure that I want to,
