Somebody tell me you've got love figured out, because I got news for you; it's pretty darn messy right now. But I guess it's always been that way. Wanting to be loved, to find somebody that makes your heart ache in a good way. feel understood. So. if you're robots, or aliens, or something and you're watching this right now and that feeling no longer exists; well,. you missed it. and I feel sorry for you. Cause as far as I can tell, that's what it's all about.
- One Tree HillIt happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. And then the moment was gone.
- One Tree HillSometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there. Because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't, but then one day you feel something else. something that feels wrong, only because its so unfamiliar. then in that moment you realize you're happy.
- One Tree HillEven though I kinda knew we were a lie, it was like a pain reliever. I mean the pain was still there, but I didn't feel it for awhile.
- One Tree HillPeyton: I thought they were just rumors?
Anna: Well you know how high school is. Once the story gets out, it might as well be true.
You know that feeling you get on Sunday where you just had the whole day to yourself, and it's been great, and then you remember that you have to go to school the next day, and it just ruins the rest of the night? I have to go home tomorrow and I've got that feeling, just like it's Sunday night.
- One Tree HillI'm tired of feeling bad. I'd rather feel nothing. It's better, it's easier
- One Tree HillHave you ever woke up from a really good dream & just tried to go back to sleep? Or had the flu and you promise yourself that you'll appreciate normal so much more if you could just get back to it? That's the way I feel; I just want things to go back to the way they were.
- One Tree HillPeople are gonna dissapoint you. I get that... I kind of expect that. But I dont know, what if you wake up one day and realize that you're the dissapointment?
- One Tree HillI am not pushing you away... I am holding on for dear life, but I need you to need me back.
- One Tree HillWhat a frightening thing is the human, a mass of gages and dials and registers, and we can only read a few, and those perhaps not accurately.
- One Tree HillTragedies happen. What are you gonna do, give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure you're still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life. The confusion and fear? That's there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better, & that something is worth fighting for.
- One Tree HillIf having things turn out the way you want them to is a measure of a successful life then some would say I was a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that everyday won't be silence and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble, fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for, maybe you'll get more than you could ever imagine. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end the journey is the destination.
- One Tree HillIt wasn't supposed to be this way. The artists, and the scientists, and the poets...none of them fit in at seventeen. You're supposed to get past it. Adults, they see kids killing kids and they know its a tragedy because they used to be those kids. The bullies and the beaten and the loners. You're supposed to get past it. You're supposed to live long enough to take it back.
- One Tree HillYou know when I was a freshman, I wasn't a very good person. I mean, sure, I was popular and dating seniors, but as a person, I was pretty lost. And over the last four years, I've been forced to grow up. I stopped letting boys define me, and I started believing in myself, and in my potential ,and I ran for student council president, and I designed a clothing line, and somewhere along the way, the lost little party girl became the girl on the wall of honor. And I know what I did was wrong, I know, but the girl I was when I came to this school, I'm not sure she would've. And isn't that the point of high school? I mean, isn't that what you guys have been trying to teach us for the past four years?
- One Tree HillJust let me hold you for a couple more minutes. That's what's gonna fix me.
- One Tree HillYou can choose to blame your circumstances on fate, or bad luck, or bad choices. Or you can fight back. Things aren't always gonna be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question, what's worse- not getting everything you wished for, or getting it but finding it's not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now, with the dreams you chase, the choices you make, and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time, and the rest of your life starts right now.
- One Tree HillShe's the first thing I think about every day. How is she? Does she miss me like I miss her? How do I get her back? And then another day without her begins.
- One Tree HillWell, your eyes are puffy. which, from experience, screams
textbook crying eyes. You have your hair up, you're probably
not planning on impressing any boys today. I'd say you're
nursing a hell of a broken heart. and not the school girl crush kind.
You're dealing with the real thing.
The rest of your life is a long time, and whether you know it or not, it's being shaped right now.
- One Tree HillOne of these days you're gonna wake up and you'll feel that same ache in your heart and you'll realize how much I love you. Whenever that day is, I'll still be waiting for you, and you'll come home to me.
- One Tree HillSometimes it feels like it was yesterday, graduating high school, saying goodbye; that feeling that you get at 17 or 18- that nobody in the history of the world has ever been this close, has ever loved as fiercely or laughed as hard, or cared as much. Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday - and sometimes it feels like someone else's memory.
- One Tree HillYou can find the good in anybody if you just give them a chance, benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people disappoint you, sometimes they surprise you, but you never really get to know them until you listen for what's in their heart.
- One Tree HillJust trust me, over time, not knowing is way worse than a "no".
- One Tree HillOf course I miss you. It's all I do.
