"I thought I knew you, but I guess it's easier to see what we want than to look for the truth. You think you know me, but you don't. And that means that you don't know what I can do. You see me as someone who's popular... and has all the answers. That's not true. I may not always know what I'm doing... but I'll try to make things better. And when I make a mistake, because face it, we all do, I promise I'll ask for your help. I can't do this alone... but if you'll take a chance on me we can do great things together. I promise if you believe in me I'll find the courage to reach for your every dream. John F. Kennedy said "the courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures." And that is the basis of all morality."  ~Brooke Davis  S2/E13

Nathan takes off his backpack, sits down and opens up a cracker jack box, taking out a small package.

Nathan:  "Ugh, please let this be a cheat sheet."

Nathan takes a tacky bracelet out of the package.

Nathan:  "It’s for you."

Haley:  "Stop it."

Nathan:  "Come on."

Haley:  [Sigh]

Nathan puts the bracelet on her.

Nathan:  "Don’t say I never gave you anything."

Haley:  "Do you see this book?  Because this book is me.  I am math."

Nathan:  "What’s that supposed to mean?"

Haley:  "It’s supposed to mean that you can work your whole "I’m Nathan Scott, Mr. Big shot, scoring my touchdowns" on somebody else, because I don’t...

Nathan:  " I don’t even play football."

Haley:  "Whatever. Look, the point is at the end of the day, all your bluster and BS don’t mean anything to math because math don’t care, and neither do I."

Nathan:  "Well, does English care? ‘Cause I really suck at that, too."  ~S1/E3

"This is who I am. This is how I am. And 95% of the time there isn’t a moral, or a victory, or a silver lining... Take it or leave it."  ~Peyton Sawyer  S1/E3 

"E.E. Cummings once wrote, "To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best, day and night, to make you everybody else… means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight… and never stop fighting."  ~Lucas Scott  S1/E2

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists... It is real... It is possible... It is yours." ~Lucas Scott S1/E2

"I’m all over the place. I don’t know, it’s just like… you know that feeling you get on a Sunday where you just had the whole day to yourself and it’s been great, and then you remember you have to go to school the next day, so it ruins the rest of the night?  I have to go home tomorrow and so I’ve got that feeling... It’s like Sunday night."  ~Peyton Sawyer  S3/E20

"Does this darkness have a name?  This cruelty, this hatred. How did it find us?  Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us?  That we now send our children out into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return... but knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way?  Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name?  Is it your name?"  ~Lucas Scott  S3/E16

"Look, I worked hard. And my dream started to come true again, and I started to believe that people just go through things... challenges that make them stronger. And then, you are gone. All right? I showed up at the River Court, and you never came. And that was it, just like that. And I realized that... we're not invincible... Dreams die."  ~Nathan Scott  S6/E10

"On stage, in front of three thousand people; I lost it. I couldn’t sing, I couldn’t hear the music. Nothing.  Because… that was the moment that I knew… that none of it could ever be enough without you.
All of the celebrity and all of the applause and all the pretty melodies… couldn’t fill your void in my heart.
So… yeah, I guess you’re right; it’s not the life I would’ve had… cause ever since I met you, it has been so much more."  ~Haley James Scott  S3/E7 

"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."  ~Brooke Davis  S1/E20

Chase:  "Today I spent an hour with Brooke Davis, and I learned something. People are gonna label you... But it's how you overcome those labels, That's what matters."

Brooke:  "I spent an hour with Chase Adams. He's a Clean Teen, and that's pretty cool!"

Peyton:  "People think they know Nathan Scott. I know I did. But, I discovered something new today. Nathan Scott is a martyr. He's also gonna be a terrific father."

Nathan:  "I spent the class with Peyton Sawyer. It reminded me what a good friend she is. I also learned that considering recent history, she's not quite ready for the whole picture thing."

Mouth:  "Some of you have met Shelly Simon, Clean Teen, but today, I got to know Shelly Simon, teen. I also asked her to prom."

Shelly:  "An hour ago I called Marvin Mc Fadden nice. He is. But I should have called him dangerous. I also said yes to prom."

Rachel:  "This is one of the best classes I've ever had. A kick-ass fifty minutes during which Bevin told me she always wanted to be a guy."

Bevin:  "I spent the hour with Rachel, and I think she learned today that I am not an idiot. This is my picture of her."

Skills:  "Over the years I've known Haley James bookworm, Haley James sarcastic girl, Haley James Scott rock star and Haley James Scott mother to be. Today I got reaquainted with just Haley, my girl friend. She get heavier too!"

Haley:  "Skills has been my friend since really young, and today I remembered why, he's a great listener, he's gonna do awesome in college, and he deserves to be on top of the world."

Glenda:  "Fifty minutes ago, I called Lucas Scott a jock. But I was wrong... he's more than one simple word, I guess we all are. Anyway I learned that Lucas is actually a lot like me. Who knew?"

Lucas:  "I wish I would have hung out with Glenda before today. Something tells me she could have been a great friend. But it's good to know there's still a little time left to do that. - Glenda! Listen would you mind taking a look at this for me? I need someone I can trust to tell me the truth."

Glenda:  "Sure, ok, Lucas Scott."

Lucas:  "Hey, today was awesome, I had a blass with you. See you tomorrow. - And I also learned her last name. - Hey, Mrs. Farell."

Glenda:  "Ok, mum, let's go."

Lucas:  "And I learned that one hour can change everything."  ~S4/E13
