As I go through my day to day life, I find myself questioning things in ways that most people don’t. Although "One Tree Hill" is supposed to be a teen drama, I think that through all of that, there are some truly real quotes in this show that can really make you think. Hell, just hearing some of them has made me change the way I do things somewhat. "One Tree Hill" was a kick-ass show with some spectacular characters and quotes that might just inspire you (or just make you laugh).

And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they would find it more often.” -Julian Baker
- “Somebody told me that this is the place where everything’s better and everything’s safe.” -One Tree Hill
