"One Tree Hill" is one of my favorite shows ever -- a show that is relatable to many people. Here are just a few of my favorite quotes from Haley James Scott.
On life and the moments we create:
"Life's too short to play games. If you love somebody and you wanna be with them then go get them. Deal with the mess later. We don't know what tomorrow will bring."
On living our life:
"Someone once said that death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live."
On finding the person you are meant to spend the rest of your life with:
"Isn't that what it's all about? if we're not out there looking for the we want to be with forever, then what are we doing?"
On where you want to be in life and making sure you do the right things in life:
"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 you life is being shaped right now. With the dreams you chase. The choices you make. An the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time. And the rest of your life starts right now!"
On what love means to her:
"Love means giving chance when there's no more chance left to give."
On her choices she made about leaving Nathan to go on tour with Chris Keller:
"It didn't matter without you. None of it mattered without you."
On feeling left out sometimes:
"Sometimes I feel incredibly disconnected, really uncomfortable in my own skin. Kind of like I don't fit in to this world. Like I was born at the wrong time, and I don't belong."
On dreaming:
"We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. But ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good."
On forgiving people you love:
"Why is it that it's so much easier to forgive a stranger than it is to forgive someone you love?"
On giving your dreams up:
"I don' think you ever realize how much you love something till you have to give it up."
On when tragedy happens:
"Everyday we ignore how completely broken this world is. I have to tell myself to just be happy. But, I don't feel happy. And when I try to change it, when I try to remember what being happy feels like...I can't, I don't feel joy. I don't feel inspired. I feel numb."
On believing there's more to life:
"I have to believe in something right now because without hope, I wouldn't be able to breathe."
On falling in love:
"I gave you my heart. Thats all I can give. And if that's not enough for you, then I'm not enough for you."
On wanting to be somewhere else in life:
"We all make different choices, and we need different things. But, I think eventually we learn to define happiness for ourselves in our own terms in spite of the pain people have caused."
On love:
"The day you start thinking that love is overrated is the day you are wrong."
When life gets too quiet:
"The truth is, when it gets really quiet, when the silence get too loud, and I really start to miss everyone, I tell myself the same thing, I can't see you, but I know you're there."
On your achievements in life:
"You should never be ashamed of your achievements."
