I’ve started watching this show like 2004 or 2005 something, I saw the pilot episode aired on Star World and since then I’ve been a big fan of this show. I love it sooo much. I just felt like in some way or another i can relate to the characters and i know it’s not only me but to those people who love this show (shout out also to my new friend Enjoy, whom i know also loves this show heehee).
Watching this show puts me in the state of nostalgia, about the time when me and my cousin’s hang out especially at Neren’s room, eating while watching coz we’ve been soo crazy about this show ever since and even the soundtracks are sooo cool, we used to download ’em and listen to it over and over again. Even listening to the songs now gets me all mushy and teary-eyed *sigh*.
I’ve also searched and kept some of my favorite quotes from the show and here it is. Oh btw i lurrrve Brooke.
Here it is: [spoiler/Read Me//Hide Me/]
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.”
“T.H. White said; perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically…to those who hardly think about us in return.”
Brooke: “You know, sometimes people play hard-to-get because they need to know the other person’s feelings are real.”
“Katherine Anne Porter once said; ‘There seems to be a kind of order in the universe…in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.'”
“Tennessee Williams once wrote; When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.”
“Joseph Conrad once wrote: ‘Who knows what true happiness is, not the conventional word.. but the naked terror. To the lonely themselves, that wears a mask, the most miserable outcast hugs some memory.. or some illusion.'”
“And Hansel said to Gretel, ‘Let us drop these breadcrumbs… so that together we find our way home. Because losing our way would be the most cruel of things.’ This year.. I lost my way.”
“And losing your way on a journey is unfortunate. But, losing your reason for the journey… is a fate more cruel.”
“The journey lasted eight months. Sometimes I traveled alone, sometimes, there were others who took the wheel — and took my heart. But when the destination was reached, it wasn’t me who arrived…it wasn’t me at all.” [ Voiceover Done By: Peyton ]
“And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be… or lose that person completely.” [ Voiceover Done By: Brooke ]
“Because, sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you’ve been. And remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.”[ Voice Over Done By: Mouth ]

EPISODE #320 · EVERYDAY IS A SUNDAY EVENING
[ Voiceovers Done By: Nathan ]
[spoiler/Read Me//Hide Me/]
“Stepping up. It’s a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself; to do a little more, to show you something special. Something like this. Lucas is gone, but that doesn’t mean the season is over. As a matter of fact, I say it’s just beginning. You might want to stay out of my way for a while. Life’s funny sometimes; can push pretty hard like when you fall in love with someone but they forget to love you back, like when your best friend and your boyfriend leave you alone, like when you pull the trigger or light the flame and you can’t take it back. Like I said, in sports they call this ‘stepping up’. In life, I call it ‘pushing back”.
“You know it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they’re happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you’ve realized how wrong you’ve been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it. God, I love this game.”
“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.”
“My name is Lucas Scott; I am a senior at Tree Hill High School. I play basketball, at least I used to. I have a girlfriend, at least I used to. And, I have a best friend. Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it’s a lot like your world. Maybe it’s nothing like it. But, if you look closely you might see someone like you. Someone trying to find their way; someone trying to find their place; someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one in the world who’s struggling, who’s frustrated, or unsatisfied at barely getting by. But, that feeling is a lie and if you just hold on; just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find the way and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes, someone to help us hear the music in the world. To remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you.”

EPISODE #403 · GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE BAD NEWS
[ Voiceovers Done By: Lucas ]
[spoiler/Read Me//Hide Me/]
“You ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you, how many moments of other peoples lives have we been in, we’re we a part of someone’s life when their dreams came true, or were we there when their dreams died. Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there, or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone else’s life, and not even know it.”

EPISODE #404 · CAN’T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED
[ Voiceovers Done By: Lucas ] [spoiler/Read Me//Hide Me/]
“There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on path? Will others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or simply give up.”
“There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment who will you be? Will you let down your defenses, and find solace in someone unexpected? Will you reach out? Will you face your greatest fear bravely? And move forward with faith. Or will you succumb to the darkness in your soul?”

EPISODE #406 · WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT?
[ Voiceovers Done By: Lucas ][spoiler/Read Me//Hide Me/]
“Life comes at us from out of the darkness. And at times we can struggle to find the courage to face it.”
“When life comes rushing at you from our of the darkness, who will you choose to face it with? Will it be someone you trust? Will they be wise? And will their love for you help them to guide you to the light? Or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices? Or will that person be someone untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness, when it does — is there someone in your life you can count on? Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall? And in that moment, give you the strength to face your fears alone?”

EPISODE #407 · ALL THESE THINGS THAT I’VE DONE
[ Voiceovers Done By: Lucas ][spoiler/Read Me//Hide Me/]
“Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small like when we do a bad thing for a good reason. Some are bigger like when you let down a friend.”
Some of us escape the pain of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret because we’re looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past, and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change your own ways.
But, our biggest regrets are not for the things we did — but, for the things we didn’t do. Things we didn’t say that could’ve save someone that we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that’s headed their way.

EPISODE #414 · SAD SONGS FOR DIRTY LOVERS
[ Voiceovers Done By: Lucas ][spoiler/Read Me//Hide Me/]
“Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives or if the moments in our lives make us?”
“If you could go back and change one thing about your life, would you? And if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? Or break the heart of another? Or would you choose an entirely different path? Or would you change just one thing, just one moment? One moment, that you’ve always wanted back.”
Brooke: “I’m not the most eloquent speaker, so I thought I would borrow a few words from Shakespeare. ‘Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.’ When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same. I look at Nathan and Haley and some how I feel safer. I don’t know if I can explain that, but they give me hope. And, I’m afraid say it out loud because maybe if life finds out it’ll try to beat it out of them and that will be a shame. Because, we all can use a little hope sometimes, you know. That feeling that everything’s going to be okay and that there’s going to be someone there to help make sure of that. So, here’s to Nathan and Haley, and here’s to hope, and here’s to a love that will not alter.”
Brooke: “Okay, guy in need of a clue. Here’s one. Women send signals, and that was a brush off. Before you dip into your shallow pool of wit, let me paint us a picture and save us both the trouble. Here’s your evening. You are going to slink back off to your buddies, laugh this off, get wasted, go home, and make nice with yourself. But you won’t be thinking of me, because even your fantasy of me isn’t interested in you.”
Brooke: “There are 82 letters in here and they’re all addressed to you. I wrote them all this summer, one a day but I never sent them because I was afraid. I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before, because you hurt me so bad. And I was afraid to be vulnerable and I was afraid of you and the way that you make me feel. And I know that doesn’t matter now after what I did but I just thought that you should know… this is how I spent my summer Luke, wanting you. I was just too scared to admit it.”
Lucas: “Brooke! What you did with Chris… it’s okay.”
Brooke: “It’s not. It can’t be. Its too much to forgive.”
Lucas: “Well that’s too bad because I forgive you.”
Brooke: “You can’t..”
Lucas: “I just did, so you’re gonna just have to deal with it. I’m the guy for you Brooke Davis and I know I hurt you the last time we were together but I…”
Brooke: “I love you.”
Lucas: “I love you too… pretty girl.”
