"Blair could see something else in their beady, foreign eyes. Something calculated and decidedly bitchy. And it takes one to know one."

"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."

""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."

"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."

"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?"

"True love never dies. Apparently, that depends on your definition of true love."

"'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."

"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."

"There was nothing brave or manly about lying to the two people he loved most in the world."

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."
