"I have this poster hanging in my living room, Paul. Of course I'm upset. And the only reason that it's hanging there is because you took him to see that movie, and for one day, that boy felt close to his father. He felt loved and appreciated. And the sad part is that there was only one of those days. Because in my book, the day that he didn't feel that way should be the unique one. Fix it." - One Tree Hill
"It's okay to feel angry. It's okay to feel pain. It's even okay to hate the person who did this. But when that anger, and that pain, and that hate becomes too much for you, you come see me, Nate or Luke. Understand? We are your family, and we are going to get through this together." - One Tree Hill
"Julian: My father always made me feel like I wasn't good enough. Any time I had any success he would remind me of my failures. I see that in Brooke. She's so talented and good-hearted and beautiful, but she carries around this feeling that she's not good enough. And she has you to thank you for that. Good work. Victoria: Are you finished? Julian: No, not yet. I love your daughter. I'm in love with her. And one of these days she's gonna love me back and when she does I want you to understand something: you're either gonna learn to be nice to her, or you're not gonna be in her life. Nice to meet you, Victoria. Feels like I've known you all my life." - One Tree Hill
"All right, look, I know you don't feel much like playing basketball tonight. And I get it. When I was in high school, someone close to me was taken away. And I couldn't understand how a game could matter anymore. But my coach was a wise man. He told me that basketball was more than just a game, that it had the power to heal me if I let it. He was right." - One Tree Hill
"Lydia: You're taking good care of my daughter. I remember the day you came to ask our permission to marry her. You were so nervous, but I looked into your eyes, and I just knew. Nathan: What did you know? Lydia: That you were going to change my daughter's life, and I was right. Nathan: You were responsible for raising the woman who changed my entire world. I'll never forget that Lydia. Ever. Thank you for saying yes." - One Tree Hill
"It all just seems so fake. This idea that good things happen to good people and there's magic in the world, and that the meek and righteous will inherit it. There's too many good people who suffer for something like that to be true. There are too many prayers that go unanswered. Every day we ignore how completely broken this world is, and we tell ourselves that it's all going to be okay, 'You're going to be okay.' But it's not okay. And once you know that, there's no going back. There's no magic in the world. . . at least today there isn't." - One Tree Hill
"We've been through so much together. And despite how confused I've been or lost I might have gotten there was always you. Finding me and saving me. You deserve to be adored so that's what we're gonna do, your baby and me. We are going to adore you for years to come. I am so terribly in love with you. And I always will be." - One Tree Hill
"Nathan: Every time I get to see Jamie laugh, it's a dream come true. Every time I get to hold Haley, it's a dream come true. They are my life. Quentin: Then you owe it to them to be the very best version of yourself. The version where you fight for what you want. The version where you're not afraid to be great. You're better for them when you live in your dreams, man. And there is nothing, nothing selfish about that." - One Tree Hill
"I love you Lucas, and I probably always will, but we go days without having a meaningful conversation. And I used to miss you so much when that happened but it never seemed like you missed me. And I guess because of it I stopped missing you. I mean look at today, there was a horrible accident and you haven't even called me...it shouldn't be like this Luke. I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore." - One Tree Hill
