Tree Hill was the kind of place every 17 year old girl wished they could live, and if you say no you just may be lying or you've never experienced the greatness that is One Tree Hill. This show has angles that many viewers can relate to from family dramas to tough relationships. From the humbleness of the characters to the plot twists and stellar life advice, Tree Hill was a place where everyone was free to be themselves.
Whether it's the great life advice that hits you, the suave roles of the Scott brothers, or the hilarity that could make your senior quote, the cast and script were always above par.
Here are some of the best quotes from One Tree Hill (in my opinion of course).
Classic Life Advice
"There’s no shame in being afraid. Heck, we’re all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you’re afraid of because when you put a face on it, you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it."
- Coach Whitey Durham
"You ever heard the expression ‘The best things in live are free.’ Well that expression is true.’ 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 this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back."
- Nathan Scott
"At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. 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. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes — all you need is one."
- Peyton Sawyer
"People are gonna label you. But it's how you overcome those labels that matter".
- Brooke Davis
"Sometimes I think we waste our words and we waste our moments, and we don't take the time to say the things that are in our hearts when we get the chance".
- Clay Evans
"How many moments can you point to and say: "That's when it all changed."
- Brooke Davis
"It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life."
- Nathan Scott
Some mismatched hilarity
"Great. I'm the blouse man. It looks like I'm competing in men's ice dancing, doesn't it?"
- Marvin "Mouth" McFadden
"Wait! Maybe Lucas will say the wrong name on the alter just like Ross did on Friends."
- Antwon "Skills" Taylor
"That sounds like a whole lotta white girl drama that I don't want to know anything about."
- Antwon "Skills" Taylor
"This goes out to all your girlfriends, You know who you are."
- Chris Keller
"Look, somebody gotta tell the old man that they don't call me Skills cause I'm really good at picking splinters outta my a**."
- Antwon "Skills" Taylor
And only the best relationship advice.
"I’m sticking with the shoelaces. The hearts say I like you, but the shoelace part isn’t too mushy."
- Jamie Scott
"I realize now that when your heart breaks you got to fight like hell to make sure you're still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life. The confusion and fear? That's there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better. And that something is worth fighting for."
- Nathan Scott
"Life is too short to play games. If you love somebody and you wanna be with them, then go to them. Deal with the mess later. We don't know what tomorrow will bring."
- Haley James Scott
"Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep people away, but to see who cares enough to tear those walls down".
- Brooke Davis
"Always. And Forever."
- Nathan Scott
"Because I love you. And because you're looking really hot standing out here in the rain and I'm thinking, I have to kiss you."
- Nathan Scott
And always remember...
"Make a wish and place it in your heart.
Anything you want. Everything you want
Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true.
You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from.
The next memory. the next smile. the next wish come true.
But if you believe that it's right around the corner,
and open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it,
you might just get the thing you're wishing for.
The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it.
So make your wish. Do you have it?
Good. Now believe in it.
With all your heart."
