it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars, and those stars lead you back home ...

Lorelai: "Freeze-dried spaghetti?"
Luke: "Just add hot water. Eat it out of the bag."
Lorelai: "Am I gonna find hot water in here."
Luke (pulls a mini burner): "Gotta heat it up on the stove."
Lorelai (pulls our a knife): "Oh ... my god."
Luke: "It's a bowie knife. To cut fish, cut tree limbs."
Lorelai: "To amputate a leg?"
Luke: "Not a leg. It could do a foot."
Lorelai: "This is your back-country bag. Why did you bring your back-country bag?"
Luke: "I didn't know what this weekend was."
Lorelai: "You didn't know we wouldn't be performing surgery on each other?"
Luke: "I wanted to be prepared."

"I was so scared, I was so terrified ... and I promised myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you, I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I want you, and how nothing else matters."
-from One Tree Hill

"There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, 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."
-from One Tree Hill

"The only thing I really want is to see him laugh again. You know, hear him sing off-key. Watch him roll his eyes at me when I steal french fries off his plate. I guess what I'm trying to say is: I'm crazy for him."
-from One Tree Hill

"People always leave. But sometimes, they come back."
-from One Tree Hill

"Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is the measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars, and those stars lead you back home."
-from One Tree Hill

"So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall. Because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."
-from One Tree Hill

"You cannot run away from weakness; you must fight it out, or perish. And if that be so, why not now and where you stand?"
-Robert Louis Stevenson
