"One Tree Hill" is a great show that means so much to me. The writing is amazing and the quotes are so relatable to so many people. For me, I can really relate to the character Peyton Sawyer.
On what matters to so many people:
"You're art matters."
On life's moments:
"Life's too short to fight, to be miserable to let the bitter ones change how awesome you are."
On falling in love:
"It's giving your heart to somebody.That's the scary part."
On where you want to be in life or finding yourself:
"My life is pretty good, it is. But I was just searching for something to make it great, something to make it matter."
On how you grow up and how your life changes and people move on:
"What happened to us, you know? I don't know who I am anymore. Or how I got here. I miss who I used yo be. I want to have a home again, you know? And real friends...you know, the kind of friendships we used to believe in. I miss that. And I miss you. I guess I just miss all of it."
On how we all need help sometimes:
"At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scarred, some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good. And some are good struggling with evil. Sic billion souls, and sometimes all you need is one."
On believing it what really matters:
"I wanna believe in it all again. Music and art, faith and love. And I wanna believe that I've made the right choices and that I'm on the right path. And there's still time to fix the mistakes I've made. I guess I want hope."
On life's disappointments:
"People are gonna disappoint you, I get that. But what if you wake up one day and realize that you're the disappointment?"
On letting people in:
"I get it -- though, you know? Getting close to somebody and then it just not working out."
On how you have to be the person to take chances:
"It's not about what you say, its about what you do. You don't like the person you've become then do something about it, because no one's gonna do it for you."
On missing someone:
"Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will."
On who you want to spend your life with:
"Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true. You know, it's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?"
On life's tragedies:
"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."
On what her beliefs and what people are really searching for in life:
"You were wrong yesterday. When you said the kids in the clubs were just there for decadence. I think it's more like romance, and hope and inspiration. And that feeling that you get when other human beings pick up basic instruments and make sense of your world. And the day that I think it's just about making money is going to be the day that I've betrayed everything I believe in. About music, and life, and myself."
On enjoying life:
"Every song ends -- is that any reason not to enjoy the music?"
"Music always helps. No matter what you're going through."
On what music means and how it can really change lives and how it relates to Peyton:
"You know, I've got this theory: There are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyrics people to tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They're the ones you see with the CD insert out like five minutes after buying it, poring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Then there's the music people who could care less for the lyrics as long as it's just got, like, a good beat and you could dance to it. I don't know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since I'm not, let me just say this: Sometimes things find you when you need them to find you. I believe that. And for me it's usually song lyrics."
