Quotes by: “One Tree Hill”:

I wanted you to fight for me! I wanted you to say there is no one else that you could ever be with and that you would rather be alone than without me.

Part of me just wants to find the right words to hurt you. The same way you hurt me.

The bad guys lie to get in your bed and the good guys lie to get in your heart.

Most of our life is a series of images, they pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens, and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.

I forgot you're the guy who loves to rip the rug out from under me just when I feel like we're given some sort of stable ground.

I like the fact that somebody like you sees something in me.

We all can use a little hope sometimes, you know. That feeling that everything is gonna be okay and that there's gonna be someone there to help make sure of that.

Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small, like when we do a bad thing for a good reason. Some are bigger like when we let down a friend. Some of us escape the pains of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret because were looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past, and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our ways. But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did but for the things we didn't do, things we didn't say that could have saved someone we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way.

Derek: You can't live in fear. Life is about taking risks, not being afraid to go after what you want. 
Peyton : I'm just not sure if this is the right time. 
Derek : It never is. That's why it's called a risk 

When I fell to the floor tonight, I was so scared, I was so terrified. Then I saw you, and I promised myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you... I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I want you... and how nothing else matters.

I gave you my heart and that's all I can give you, and if that's not enough, then I'm not enough.

Anna: why do relationships have to be so hard? 
Peyton: cause the only thing harder is being alone

Most people don't know who they are, that's why they lie. They're afraid someone else will figure it out before they do.

Remember when I told you what girls want? Girls just want someone to want them back- at least I do.

Brooke: Haley still loves you. All you have to do is take her back. 
Nathan: Right. Kind of like with you and Lucas? You see! It's not so easy getting back in the ring. Ecspecially with the one who knocked you out in the first place.

I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before. 'Cause you hurt me so bad, and I was afraid to be vulnerable. And I was afraid of you and the way that you make me feel. And I know that doesn't matter now after what I did, but I just thought that you should know. This was how I spent my summer, wanting you... I'm just too scared to admit it. 

Here's my philosophy on dating. It's important to have somebody that can make you laugh, somebody you can trust, somebody that, you know, turns you on... And it's really, really important that these three people don't know each other.

Lucas: I never meant to hurt you. 
Brooke: That doesn't really matter, 'cause in the end it all hurts just the same.

So you want me to tell you something about myself? I don't have anything to say. Even if I did you'd be wrong to believe me. Trust is a lie. Nobody ever knows anyone.

Guy: Buy you a drink? 
Brooke: Okay, guy in need of a clue. Here's one. Women send signals. That was a brush off. Before you dip into your shallow pool of wit let me paint us a picture and save us both the trouble. Here's your evening. You are going to slink back off to your buddies, laugh this off, get wasted, go home, and make nice with yourself. But don't be thinking of me, because even your fantasy of me, isn't interested in you

Stepping up. It's a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself; to do a little more, to show you something special. Life's funny sometimes; it can push pretty hard like when you fall in love with someone but they forget to love you back like when your best friend and your boyfriend leave you alone, like when you pull the trigger or light the flame and you can't take it back. Like I said, in sports they call this 'stepping up'. In life, I call it pushing back. 

Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. A belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision to ignore, simply rise above the pain of the past. A covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. A celebration of the chance taken and the challenge that lies ahead. For two will always be stronger than one, like a team braced against the tempest civil world. And love will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality. Only an announcement to the world of feelings long held. Promises made long ago. In the sacred spaces of our hearts.

I thought I knew you. But I guess it's easier to see what we want than to look for the truth. 

And Hansel said to Gretel: Let us drop these bread crumbs so that together we can find our way home because losing our way would be the most cruel of things. And once you lose yourself, you have two choices. Find the person you used to be or lose that person completely. Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.

At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes -- all you need is one.
