"One Tree Hill" has nine seasons, and equals out to 187 episodes, and is in a 10 year time span of the fictional characters' lives. In those 187 episodes, we have watched Brooke Davis transform. The girl who once was a carefree, party-girl, cheerleader, is now a mother, wife, entrepreneur, and inspiration. Although Brooke Davis is a fictional character, in a fictional TV series, the life lessons we have learned through her are anything but fictional.

1. "And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be... or lose that person completely."

2. "The bad guys lie to get in your bed; the good guys lie to get in your heart."

3. "Let’s play truth or dare, or maybe just dare, because nobody knows how to tell the truth anymore."

4. "There's a day when you realize that you're not just a survivor, you're a warrior. You're tougher than anything (life) throws your way."

5. "You think you know me, but you don’t, and that means you don’t know what I can do. You see me as someone who’s popular and has all the answers, but that’s not true. I may not always know what I’m doing, but I’ll try to make things better ... I can't do this alone, and if you'll take the 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."

6. “I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before. Cause you hurt me so bad and I was afraid to be vulnerable again. I was afraid of you and the way that you make me feel.”

7. "At the end of the day, you are who you are, and it's probably who you've always been."

8. “It's really hard for her to let her guard down. But when she does, she's got this amazing heart.”

9. “But I guess it’s always been that way-- wanting to be loved... to find someone that makes your heart ache in a good way.”

10. "You're not sorry. But you should be. Do you know what my mother said to me when I said I wanted to start a company? She said your chances are one in a million. And I said maybe I'm that one, and she said you're not. And she was wrong. And whatever she thought she saw in me, was wrong. Because I am one in a million. And there is a child out there who has something so special inside of them but who's life is so miserable because they think that nobody wants them. And I could be a great mother to that child, no matter their age or race or sex. I could help them find what makes them special. And if you can't see that then you're wrong, just like my mother, so why don't you go ahead and write that down?"
