They stole our hearts and taught us to...
Sing like Haley, write like Lucas, talk like Brooke, play like Nathan, love like Peyton, and dream like Jamie.
Here are 13 quotes from the show that just keep giving.
1. "It's hard when you miss people. But you know if you miss them, that means you're lucky. It means you had someone special in your life, someone worth missing."
Best outlook when your heart is hurting for someone who is no longer in your life.
2. "If you had a friend you knew you'd never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it, do it, don't wait. Nothing lasts forever."
Love, love, love this quote. Really puts things in perspective and makes you want to seize the day.
3. "There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up?"
What will you choose? Life is truly what you make it. You can blame your hometown. You can blame your parents and your family. You can blame anyone who threw an obstacle at you. You can blame the world. None of it will get you anywhere in life, but it's your choice to change what the cards you were dealt.
4. "It's a rush, this new darkness that appears everything is coming at you so fast. One second you're happy with your life, and then you get this over towering feeling of sadness. In this depression, you feel alone, knowing of rejection, all because something happens, and you don't know how to react because simply of the process of letting someone in, especially when the people closest to you disappoint you even when they think they were protecting you, but all we need to do is breathe."
When you feel like you are never going to get out of a terrible place, then you have not reached the end of the trial yet. Have faith and remember to breathe.
5. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices. Or you can fight back. Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world. That's just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. 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.
Fight, fight, fight and keep up fighting for yourself. You owe it to keep striving for your dreams. Don't let one moment pass you by.
6. You know what? Tragedies happen. What are you going to do? Give up? Quit? No. I realize how that when your heart breaks, you have 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. And that something is worth fighting for.
The Scott brothers taught everyone that we all have a little bit of fight left in us when it comes to tragedies. And when we think we don't, surround yourself by people who will encourage you to get back up again.
7. Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part in your life that you expect it to always be there...because you can't remember a time when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else- something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment, you realize...you're happy.
8. Sometimes I think we waste our words and we waste our moments, and we don't take the time to say things that are in our hearts when we have the chance.
We waste so much. Time is the most valuable and most fragile thing we have been given, and it can be taken away in a single moment.
9. Every once in a while, people step up. They rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you. And sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard. But if you look closely enough, you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song, and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, I mean if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.
People don't always leave...sometimes the ones that let us down the most turn around and rise up. Second chances should always be given. No one will ever be perfect, but we can be decent human beings.10. I want to believe in it all again...music and art...fate and love, and I want to believe that I've made the right choices, and I'm still on the right path, and there's still time to fix some mistakes I've made...I guess I want hope.
Ten points if you guess the character that says this quote! We all want hope, love and meaning in our lives. If you haven't found the last two, keep searching with hope to guide you.
11. 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.
Never lose sight of who you are and where you want to end up.
