2. "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 close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, if you're the luckiest person on the entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back." - Nathan Scott

4. "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. 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." - Haley James Scott

6. "You know, my pride says, 'Yeah. that’s it. Just leave here knowing Haley is obviously intimidated by a sexual relationship.' But my heart says, 'Forget about your pride, you idiot. You love this girl. And even if you catch pneumonia, your ass is gonna stay out here in the rain until you convince her to forgive you' So come on, Hales. Just meet me halfway here?' - Nathan Scott
7. "Anna, it’s not about who I am, OK. It’s about who they are. They are people who hate, and they divide, and they feed off of people who don’t fight back. Yeah, I could laugh this off, but what about the girl who can’t? Who’s gonna help her? Silence only makes them stronger." - Peyton Sawyer
8. " The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won’t be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it’s only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home." - Coach Whitey Durham
9. "Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns on a 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." - Lucas Scott
10. “Every song has a CODA, a final movement. Whether it fades out or crashes away, every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music? The truth is, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just life.” - Ellie
11. “It's the oldest story in the world. One day you're 17, planning for someday and then, quietly, without you ever noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.” - Nathan Scott
12. “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.”

14. “Happiness is not a destination. It is a mood, it is not permanent. It comes and goes and if people thought that way then maybe people would find happiness more often.” - Julian Baker
15. "Yes, losing your heart's desire is tragic, But gaining your heart's desire? That's all you can hope for. This year I wished for love, to immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted and if having that is tragic, then give me tragedy. Because I wouldn't give it back for the world." - Peyton Sawyer

They're in your heart and in the hearts of those who love you. And that is right here at home. Now, in your life, you're going to go to some great places and you're gonna do some wonderful things.
