"Blair could see something else in their beady, foreign eyes. Something calculated and decidedly bitchy. And it takes one to know one."
-from Gossip Girl: Would I Lie To You by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Then she felt fingers trailing down her arm, so delicately it tickled. Nate's hand slid down over her wrist, then slipped it into her palm, giving it a gentle squeeze. Letting out a sigh, it felt like she was breathing out something she didn't even know was inside her. The frustration, the jealousy, the worry over what would happen next. She turned to look at him, but his eyes were closed, and soon hers were too. And that's how they slept, for the rest of the day and into the night."
-from Gossip Girl: Would I Lie To You by Cecily vonZiegesar
""She'd already heard from a million people that his hot romance or whatever the f*** he had with that townie girl was long over, and with some proper groveling, she could forgive him for his romantic retardation. Yes, he was a total f***-up and yes, he'd broken her heart a million times, but something about the way he'd watched her run off ... had left her wanting to see him again and again."
-from Gossip Girl: Would I Lie To You by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Will you always be the one to save me?"

"In wine there is truth."

"Isn't fate funny? You think you've got some control over things, you think you're in charge of life, but really, come on -- we're all just at the mercy of the universe. I mean, we all read our horoscopes, don't we? And as we all know, there are some people who are just ... connected. It doesn't always make sense, but it's not worth fighting. ... It's just fate people. Get used to it."
-from Gossip Girl: Would I Lie To You by Cecily vonZiegesar
"You know what's totally lame? Happy endings. Seriously. Like when I'm at the movies and I see some plucky, determined girl finally land her leading man--whom I knew for the past two hours she'd end up with anyway--I just want to claw her eyes out. Real life is actually terribly messy and complicated and nothing ever just ends ... I mean really, if you'll allow me to get all philosophical about it for a minute, every ending is just another beginning, isn't it?"
-from Gossip Girl: Would I Lie To You by Cecily vonZiegesar
"With those words ringing in her ears, something in Serena had finally clicked. She'd watched him lead Blair upstairs and right then, she knew as surely as she'd ever known anything that she loved Nate. And now that he was standing right in front of her ... she knew it was really true. She loved Nate with her entire heart. It was something she'd always known, deep down. Why hadn't she done anything about it until it was too late?"
-from Gossip Girl: Don't You Forget About Me by Cecily vonZiegesar
"True love never dies. Apparently, that depends on your definition of true love."
-from Gossip Girl: Don't You Forget About Me by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'I'll tell you one thing.' Chips closed his menu and learned across the table. 'You've got to think with your balls, not your dick ... Because men who think with their dicks are cowards.'"
-from Gossip Girl: Don't You Forget About Me by Cecily vonZiegesar
"The room was so quiet that Nate didn't know whether the sound of breathing in his ears was his or hers. Sitting there with Serena, on the floor of her room, everything felt right. And simple. In fact, when he really thought about it, things between him and Serena had always been simple - it was life that had complicated them."
-from Gossip Girl: Don't You Forget About Me by Cecily vonZiegesar
"The angrier she gets, the more ingenious she is."
-from Gossip Girl: Don't You Forget About Me by Cecily vonZiegesar
"This isn't chemistry or geography. It's physics. Pure physics, I'm falling fast and faster still. So fall with me. Fall down with me. And stay."
-from Gossip Girl: Don't You Forget About Me by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Don't twist my words to your own convenience. There's a difference between protecting someone else and protecting yourself. And it doesn't sound to me like you've done much thinking about what's really best for those two girls you claim to love so much."
-from Gossip Girl: Don't You Forget About Me by Cecily vonZiegesar
"You need to figure out what you really want -- no more of this pussyfooting around. Remember, you've got to think with your balls, not with your dick."

The next several quotes are all from Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 8 (Love and War and Snow) ...
Mayor: "I would like to now move on to something of even greater importance. As you all know, this coming Friday is the anniversary of the legendary Battle of Stars Hollow."
Lorelai (whispers): "Where's Luke?"
Rory (whispers): "Up there."
Mayor: "Penny will be circulating a sign-up sheet for those of you would would like to participate in the reenactment of the aforesaid battle."
Rory: "He's turning red."
Lorelai: "Oh, oh ..."
Mayor: "All right. It was a frigid November night, some 224 years ago."
Lorelai: "He's shifting in his seat."
Mayor: "The brave Stars Hollow militia stood in wait for the Red Coats."
Rory: "He's adjusting the cap."
Lorelai: "Ooh!"
Mayor: "Tired and hungry, twelve proud men took their positions in the town's square, braving the elements."
Lorelai: "He's fighting the urge, he's fighting the urge."
Mayor: "And imminent death in their valiant efforts ..."
Luke: "Oh, for god's sake, do we have to go through this every damn year?!"
Lorelai: "Yes!"
Rory: "And the urge wins by a long shot!"
Lorelai: "I am telling you, five minutes in a snowball fight, we could knock that stick right outta your butt."
Lorelai: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have flakes. Flakes have been sighted. Flakage, if you will, has begun. Michel, it's the first snowfall of the season. It's very lucky. Make a wish."
Michel: "Get away from me."
Lorelai: "Oh, you're not supposed to say it out loud." (Phone rings.)
Michel: "Independence Inn, Michel speaking."
Lorelai: "The world changes when it snows. It gets quiet. Everything softens."
Michel: "It's your mother."
Lorelai: "And then the rain comes. (Takes the phone.) Hi Mom."
Emily: "Have you seen the news?"
Lorelai: "Ever?"
Emily: "A bad storm is heading your way. It's already hitting us here."
Lorelai: "Well, don't panic. I'll get the ark, you get the animals."
Emily: "I just sent Lance to pick up Rory at school. The roads are terrible, black ice everywhere, it's just a mess out there. I hate this kind of weather. So, anyhow, what time will you get here?"
Lorelai: "Well, uh, gee, Mom, I don't know. Let me see. Black ice, treacherous roads. I guess I'll just put on my red, white and blue leotard, grab my golden lasso, and fly the invisible plane on over."
Emily: "You're not coming?"
Lorelai: "Well, if it's as bad as you say it is, I don't see how I'd get there."
Emily: "And you know, Rory should probably stay the night, also."
Lorelai: "Okay."
Emily: "And if it's still bad tomorrow ..."
Lorelai: "Mom, why don't you wait and see what the weather does before you fill out a change of address card for her?"
Lorelai: "Now, honey, tell Grandma you arrived there not a member of the Junior League, I'd like you to leave there the same way."

she's 90% water and 10% caffeine ...
All of the quotes below are from Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 6 (Rory's Birthday Parties) ...
Emily: "Tomorrow, our lawyer, Joseph Stanford, is coming by."
Lorelai: "Ugh. Crazy Sissy's dad."
Emily: "That's terrible. Sissy was a good friend of yours."
Lorelai: "Mom, Sissy talked to her stuffed animals, and they answered her."
Rory: "Let's just start a new topic."
Emily: "Not possible."
Lorelai: "She said a new topic, Mom."
Emily: "Everything's a joke, everyone's a punchline."
Lorelai: "Okay, I'm sorry."
Emily: "My daughter -- Henny Youngman."
Richard (coming in late): "Sorry for that. A little trouble with our China office. Well? What did I miss?"
Lorelai: "I was being impossible, and then I turned into a Jewish comedienne."
Emily: "So, Rory, your grandfather and I thought it might be nice after dinner for you to go around the hosue and pick out what you'd like us to leave you in our wills."
Richard: "Take a look at that desk in office. It's a really fine Georgian piece."
Lorelai: "Why don't I ever bring a tape recorder to these dinners?"
Rory: "Oh, well, anything you want to leave me is fine."
Emily: "Nonsense. You should have what you like. So look around, and when you see something you like, a stick a Post-it on it."
Lorelai: "Okay, you two have officially hit a new level of weird that even I marvel at."
Emily: "You can pick things out too, you know."
Lorelai: "Oh, well now it's way less creepy."
Emily: "Did you hear that Richard? Apparently, we're creepy."
Richard: "Yes, well, live and learn."
Lorelai: "I love pudding. I worship it. I have a bowl of it up on the mantel at home with the Virgin Mary, a glass of wine and a dollar bill next to it."
Lorelai (putting Post-Its on things): "So what do we think of this?"
Rory: "Where would we put it?"
Lorelai: "I don't know. The Emily and Richard Gilmore Psycho Museum."
Rory: "This is the strangest evening I've ever spent here."
Emily: "So, how's it going?"
Lorelai: "Great. Just getting ready for the big day."
Emily: "Very nice."
Lorelai: "So, um, it's getting late, Mom. Unless you've got some funeral plots for us to decorate we should really be going."
Lorelai: "So, how would you like two parties this year?"
Rory: "You couldn't get her to cave."
Lorelai: "No, but she did agree to make the string quartet learn 'Like a Virgin.'"
Rory: "Well, you tried."
Lorelai: "Sweetie, I promise, Saturday night we'll do it up right at home. A Stars Hollow extravaganza."
Rory: "So, is this party Grandma's having going to be a big deal?"
Lorelai: "Not really. The government will close that day. Flags will fly at half-mast. Barbara Streisand will give her final concert -- again."
Rory: "Uh-huh."
Lorelai: "Now, the Pope has previous plans, but he's trying to get out of them. However, Elvis and Jim Morrison are coming, and they're bringing chips."
Emily: "Please be serious. We're shopping for Rory."
Lorelai: "No, Mom, I'm shopping for Rory, you're shopping for your imaginary granddaughter, Barbara Hutton."
Rory: "I've now used the word 'sucks,' so much that it's lost all meaning to me."
Lorelai: "It's so hard to believe that at exactly this moment many moons ago, I was lying in exactly the same position --"
Rory: "Oh boy. Here we go."
Lorelai: "Only I had a huge, fat stomach and big, fat ankles, and I was swearing like a sailor--"
Rory: "On leave."
Lorelai: "On leave, right! And there I was--
Rory: "In labor."
Lorelai: "And while some have called it the most meaningful experience of your life, to me, it was something more akin to doing the splits on a crate of dynamite."
Rory: "I wonder if the Waltons ever did this?"
Lorelai: "And I was screaming and swearing, and being surrounded as I was by a hundred prominent doctors and nurses, I just assumed there was an actual use for the cup of ice chips they gave me."
Rory: "There wasn't."
Lorelai: "But pelting the nurses sure was fun."
Rory: "I now officially know what it feels like to have grown up here."
Lorelai: "It's not official until you're huddled in a corner, eating your hair."
Lorelai: "All right, everybody, I need your attention, your attention please. This is a very serious moment. Two priests, a rabbi and a duck--"
Rory: "Mom."
Lorelai: "All right, I'm kidding. Um, I would like to propose a toast to the one thing in my life that is always good, always sweet, and without whom I would have no reason to get up in the morning. My pal Rory. Cheers."
Lorelai: "Mom, Dad, can I get you a drink?"
Emily: "No, thank you."
Lorelai: "Oh no, Mom, you're gonna need one. And I have wine glasses that say Holiday Inn on them."
All of the quotes below are from Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 7 (Kiss and Tell) ...
Lorelai: "I'm crushed, I'm bleeding; get me a tourniquet. Oh no, they're dirty because Rory wouldn't wash them with her stuff."
Lane: "He kissed you in the market?"
Rory: "On aisle three."
Lane: "By the ant spray?"
Rory: "Yes."
Lane: "Oh, that's a good aisle."
Rory: "What defines a good aisle?"
Lane: "An aisle where you get kissed by the new kid is a good aisle."
Lane: "You can't leave? It's sing your favorite hymn night at the Kim house. Make a run for it."
Rory: "I've been telling you this story for an hour. It doesn't get dirty."
Lane: "I can't help it. I'm obsessed. I'm totally living vicariously through you."
Rory: "Why? You got kissed last weekend. Remember? You told me. That guy your parents set you up with. The one with the Lincoln Continental. What's his name? Patrick Cho!"
Lane: "Okay, let's do a little compare and contrast here. You get kissed on the mouth by a cute, cool, sexy guy that you really like. And I get kissed on the forehead by a theology major in a Members-Only jacket who truly believes that rock music leads to hard drugs."
Luke: "I'm not gonna say you look concerned."
Lorelai: "I'm not gonna talk you how good you'd look dressed like one of the guys from 'The Crucible.'"
Luke: "Fair enough."
Luke: "So you passed the need for an actual person to talk to several minutes ago."
Lorelai: "Oh yea. Before the gelato stand."
Rory: "There will be no interrogation."
Lorelai: "I swear."
Rory: "No kissing noises, no stories from my childhood. No referring to Chicago as 'Chitown.' No James dean jokes. No father with a shotgun stares. No Nancy Walker impressions."
Lorelai: "So chill out, Supermarket Slut."
Rory: "See, even a little information in your hands is dangerous."
Lorelai (to Dean): "When Rory was little, she found out that one was called a Weeping Willow, so she spent hours trying to cheer it up. You know, like telling it jokes and--(Rory shakes her head at her) No, I'm sorry, that was me."
Rory: "That's my mom."
Dean: "She's got energy."
Rory: "Yea, well, she's 90% water and 10% caffeine."
Rory: "My mom has a thing for the Oompa-Loompas."
Lorelai: "I don't think finding them amusing constitutes a thing."
Rory: "No, but having a recurring dream about marrying one does."
Lorelai: "I'm afraid once your heart is involved, it all comes out in Moron."
Emily: "Tomorrow, our lawyer, Joseph Stanford, is coming by."
Lorelai: "Ugh. Crazy Sissy's dad."
Emily: "That's terrible. Sissy was a good friend of yours."
Lorelai: "Mom, Sissy talked to her stuffed animals, and they answered her."

she is pure Alice in Wonderland, and her appearance and demeanor are a nicely judged mix of the Red Queen and a Flamingo ...
Lately nothing I do ever seems to please you
And maybe turning my back would be that much easier
'Cause hurtful words are all that we exchange,
But I can't watch you walk away
Could I forget about the way it feels to touch you?
Or all about the good times that we've been through?
Could I wake up without you every day,
Would I let you walk away?
No, I can't learn to live without
And I can't give up on us now
Oh, I know I could say we're through
And tell myself I'm over you
And even if I made a vow,
A promise not to miss you now
And tried to hide the truth inside
I'd fail 'cause I just can't live a lie
Could I forget the look that tells me that you want me?
And all the reasons that make loving you so easy;
The kiss that always makes it hard to breathe,
The way you know just what I mean
No, I can't learn to live without
So don't you give up on us now ...
I just can't live a lie
And I don't want to try
-"I Just Can't Live a Lie" by Carrie Underwood
Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said I wanna come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too?
And would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say
I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
And now I found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would we get that old-time feeling, would we laugh and talk for hours?
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you'd missed me, too,
And that you'd been so lonely,
And you've waited for the day that I'd return
And we've live and love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the table's finally turned?
-"I Told You So" by Carrie Underwood
Did you check the oil?
Put gas in the car?
Don't think you'll need too much,
'Cause you ain't gonna get that far
Did you pack the good times?
Don't forget a map
Just in case the route you take isn't there to take you back
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you'll wake up wondering
Why she ain't ever something better
When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end, close is all there is
But you won't find this
There's once in a lifetime
And there's once in awhile
And the difference between the two is about a million miles
Oh, you might get lucky
While the moon is looking on
But in the truth of the morning
The stars will be long gone
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you'll wake up wondering
Why she ain't ever something better
When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is ...
Oh, in the end, it's me you're gonna miss

"I think I saw him ... but it couldn't have been the same guy; this guy was dressed like a construction worker and hanging out with some skanky-looking ... townie chick. Any idea what's going on?"

"Nate hardly needed convincing; like a good ex-girlfriend, Fate always pulled through for him, right when he needed her."
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I'm a person who believes in taking chances. I believe that the universe rewards bold actions, don't you?"

"He just couldn't imagine Blair putting on a wedding dress and marching down the aisle unless he was there, too, in a tuxedo, right by her side. Of course they weren't even together anymore, but somehow, it was impossible for Nate to imagine Blair - his Blair - marrying anyone but him."
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"He'd been so stupid, always f***ing everything up with her, always taking her for granted or mistakenly hooking up with her best friend or whatever, that he'd been blind to the reality that without Blair, his life was nothing."
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I think maybe you need to think this through ... Center yourself. Eventually, you'll find clarity. I can't tell you what to do, you know. It's your life. But I'd like to see you find some answers. That's all we want in life, after all, isn't it?"
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Honestly, man ... it just wasn't meant to be. I thought she was someone I was interested in. I Mean, I thought I was ready for a change. But you know what? I was wrong. I think I just fell into the trap of being excited by the idea of someone new, even though we were totally wrong for each other."
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Something Dan had said really stuck with him: his life was right here, waiting for him, inside this shitty, overcrowded apartment. The girl he was meant to be with was right here, and the only honorable thing to do was to break the news to the girl he wasn't meant to be with."

If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too?
And would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say
I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
And now I found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would we get that old-time feeling, would we laugh and talk for hours?
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you'd missed me, too,
And that you'd been so lonely,
And you've waited for the day that I'd return
And we've live and love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the table's finally turned?
-"I Told You So" by Carrie Underwood
Did you check the oil?
Put gas in the car?
Don't think you'll need too much,
'Cause you ain't gonna get that far
Did you pack the good times?
Don't forget a map
Just in case the route you take isn't there to take you back
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you'll wake up wondering
Why she ain't ever something better
When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end, close is all there is
But you won't find this
There's once in a lifetime
And there's once in awhile
And the difference between the two is about a million miles
Oh, you might get lucky
While the moon is looking on
But in the truth of the morning
The stars will be long gone
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you'll wake up wondering
Why she ain't ever something better
When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is ...
Oh, in the end, it's me you're gonna miss

"She is pure Alice in Wonderland, and her appearance and demeanor are a nicely judged mix of the Red Queen and a Flamingo."

"I think I saw him ... but it couldn't have been the same guy; this guy was dressed like a construction worker and hanging out with some skanky-looking ... townie chick. Any idea what's going on?"

"He just couldn't imagine Blair putting on a wedding dress and marching down the aisle unless he was there, too, in a tuxedo, right by her side. Of course they weren't even together anymore, but somehow, it was impossible for Nate to imagine Blair - his Blair - marrying anyone but him."
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"He'd been so stupid, always f***ing everything up with her, always taking her for granted or mistakenly hooking up with her best friend or whatever, that he'd been blind to the reality that without Blair, his life was nothing."
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I think maybe you need to think this through ... Center yourself. Eventually, you'll find clarity. I can't tell you what to do, you know. It's your life. But I'd like to see you find some answers. That's all we want in life, after all, isn't it?"
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Honestly, man ... it just wasn't meant to be. I thought she was someone I was interested in. I Mean, I thought I was ready for a change. But you know what? I was wrong. I think I just fell into the trap of being excited by the idea of someone new, even though we were totally wrong for each other."
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Something Dan had said really stuck with him: his life was right here, waiting for him, inside this shitty, overcrowded apartment. The girl he was meant to be with was right here, and the only honorable thing to do was to break the news to the girl he wasn't meant to be with."
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies."
