"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
-"You Won't Find This" by Carrie Underwood
"She is pure Alice in Wonderland, and her appearance and demeanor are a nicely judged mix of the Red Queen and a Flamingo."
-Truman Capote
"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?"
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"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?"
-from Gossip Girl: Only In Your Dreams (Book 9) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"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

allow someone to hurt you, because it will teach you the kind of person you don't want to be, and how great joy really is ...
"Stand up and finish what you started."
-Bob Harper
"As for [him], you'd think he'd be on top of the world ... But no. Have you seen him lately? Red-rimmed eyes, dirty tissues streaming from his pockets, lackluster disposition. Our golden boy appears to be in a terrible funk. Or maybe he caught a sexually transmitted disease from one of those ... tramps he's always rumored to be hooking up with. See? It doesn't pay to be too greedy."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"It was like he was finally tasting the meal he'd been looking at under the glass all those years. He wanted to savor it, but everyone else was eating so quickly, there wasn't time. And there was also this nagging feeling that he'd ordered the wrong thing."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Bitchy and stubborn and selfish and neurotic, Blair was the epitomer of high maintenance, but no matter how many times he'd f***ed up, she'd always taken him back. It usually started with a sidelong glance or an irate phone call, and then he'd show up at her door and they'd kiss and make up. But Blair wasn't sending him any if-you're-really-nice-to-me-I'll-consider-it vibes."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"It was precisely one of those awkward, mundane little moments that made her feel like most of life was just waiting for something to happen."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'She gets all grumpy when you don't come on to her, and then she complains when you don't,' Nate complained, shaking his head. 'I never understood that.' 'But as long as you let her know she's irresistible, she can't make a fuss,' Lord Marcus pointed out. 'That's what's crucial.' Nate turned his head to look at the older boy through a haze ... He'd known Blair practically since he was born. How come this guy, who'd only just met her, seemed to have her all figured out? Was it possible that he and Blair were totally incompatible? Maybe they were never actually meant to be."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She'd done everything she could do. Her fate was in someone else's hands."

"I do not love you except because I love you."
-Pablo Neruda
"Believe in absolutely everything. Question even more and never give up. Forgive because it's empowering, and love because it's humbling. Allow someone to hurt you, because it will teach you the kind of person you don't want to be, and how great joy really is. Admire life, because in its chaos it is always teaching a great lesson."

All the following quotes are from Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 4 (The Deer Hunters) ...
Lorelai: "Shopping for school supplies, partay."
Rory: "Nobody demanded that you come."
Lorelai: "Are you kidding? How often do you get to do things like this? I was thinking, while we're going crazy, we should get some toilet paper and a plunger next."
Rory: "I'll just do this later."
Lorelai: "No, I'm teasing. Come on, get that list of yours."
Rory: "Okay ... I need legal pads."
Lorelai: "Got it."
Rory: "Tons of pens ..."
Lorelai: "Right."
Rory: "Some number two pencils, three highlighters, an eraser, a staple remover and a folder."
Lorelai: "You need three highlighters?"
Rory: "Yes."
Lorelai: "Three?"
Rory: "Yes."
Lorelai: "That's a very random number."
Rory: "Three is not a random number."
Lorelai: "No, but I mean, how did you get to the number three."
Rory: "One dries up, one gets lost, I have one left."
Lorelai: "You have really thought this out."
Rory: "Yes, I have."
Lorelai: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Rory: "Can we get back to this list, please?"
Lorelai: "All right. Ooh, hey, legal pads."
Rory: "No. Those are purple."
Lorelai: "Yes, purple is festive."
Rory: "I can't have purple."
Lorelai: "Yes you can, they're on sale."
Rory: "I'm going to serious school now. I need serious paper."
Lorelai: "Paper is paper."
Rory: "Not at Chilton."
Lorelai: "Fine, here is your serious paper."
Rory: "Thank you."
Lorelai: "Ooh, and here are your somber highlighters, your maudlin pencils, your manic depressive pens. Now, these erasers are on lithium, so they may seem cheerful, but we actually caught them trying to shove themselves in the pencil sharpener earlier."
Rory: "I'm going home now."
Lorelai: "No, wait. We're going to stage an intervention with the neon Post-its to make them give up their wacky, crazy ways."
Rory: "I'm never going shopping with you again."
Paris: "Not everyone can be smart. As my mother always says, somebody has to answer the phones."
Lorelai: "What is going on here? We are young fiery women! Studying? Shopping lists? Where's 'to hell with it all?' Where's throwing caution to the wind? Where's--oh, shoot! The linen delivery."
Rory: "You go girl."
Mama Kim (to Rory eating a Snickers bar): "That is chocolate-covered death."
Rory: "With a creamy caramel surprise."
Lorelai (just drank a sip of coffee): "Jesus, Mary, Joseph and a camel. (Other parents look at her.) This is really bad coffee!"
Lorelai (in a parent meeting): "I just thought I'd like to see the excitement."
Random dad: "It's a test."
Lorelai: "Yeah, I know."
Random dad: "What's exciting about a test?"
Lorelai: "Do you play golf?"
Random dad: "Yes I do."
Lorelai: "You explain yours, I'll explain mine."
Luke: "You look like you need pie."
Rory: "I do?"
Luke: "Violent pencil tossing usually signals the need for pie."
Rory: "What if I'd thrown a pen?"
Luke: "I would've brought you a trout."
Rory: "What?"
Luke: "I don't make the rules, I just carry them out."
Lorelai (entering the diner): "Hey, backwards baseball cap - new look for you. She's eating pie? Did she even have dinner?"
Luke: "You raise her. I just serve."
Brian (a server at the in): "May I be fired now?"
Lorelai: "Absolutely."
Lorelai (about Headmaster Charleston): "I didn't yell at him."
Rory: "You called him 'il duce.'"
Lorelai: "Which means 'Kind Sir' in Cantonese."
The next quotes are all from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.5 (Cinnamon's Wake) ...
Emily: "Oh, I'm afraid I have some bad news. Claudia died."
Lorelai: "Who?"
Emily: "Claudia. Your cousin Claudia. (Lorelai is still staring.) Claudia!"
Lorelai: "I'm hearing the name, Mom. I have no idea who that is."
Emily: "Claudia's your cousin, for all intents and purposes."
Lorelai: "Oh, now we're getting to it."
Emily: "She was your father's grandmother's sister's girl. So to you, that would make her--"
Lorelai: "Nothing?"
Emily: "Regardless, the funeral's on Thursday. I thought we'd all go together."
Lorelai: "Ooh, whoa. Two problems. First, impossible to get away from the inn Thursday. Two, I've never met this woman!"
Emily: "You most certainly have."
Lorelai: "When?"
Emily: "Several times."
Lorelai: "I'll take one."
Emily: "We went to her hosue in Groton to see the first moon landing. She'd just gotten a new Philco."
Lorelai: "I have no memory of this whatsoever."
Emily: "Rory, correct me if I'm wrong, but men have walked on the moon, regardless of whether or not your mother rememebrs it or not?"
Rory: "That's the rumor."
Lorelai: "I know men have walked on the moon. I just don't know Claudia."
Emily: "So you're not going?"
Lorelai: "Not this time."
Emily: "I don't think Claudia's planning to die a second time."
Emily: "Oh wait -- Rudolph Gottfried!"
Lorelai: "Another cousin?"
Emily: "No, a Nazi that we knew. I'd forgotten. We stayed with him once in Munich. Nice old man. Interesting stories."
Lorelai: "Mom, you socialized with a known Nazi? That's despicable! That's heinous!"
Emily: "No, dear. That's a joke."
Michel: "You're giving me that look, aren't you? Your patented, 'Do it, or something unspeakable shall befall you' look."
Max: "You like coffee?"
Lorelai: "Only with my oxygen."
Lane (talking about Babette's recently deceased cat, Cinnamon): "They said that they rolled her body into a lamp. (Rory nods.) Did you laugh? (Rory shakes her head.) Did you want to? (Rory nods her head.)"
Lorelai: "I kept information from you."
Rory: "Information I should have had."
Lorelai: "Information that would've come out eventually, like the Iran-Contra scandal."
Rory: "So you're Oliver North?"
Lorelai: "No, I'm Fawn Hall."
Rory: "Mom."
Lorelai: "Well, she's much prettier."
Lorelai (about Emily): "She's working for a sedative manufacturer, keeping that demand sky high."

no surprise there, only lies there ...
"Someone got to him first. Actually, she's always been there and probably always will be."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"The old familiar thrill passed through her. It was always like this when they got back together -- comfortable and thrilling at the same time."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Being the subject of such outrageous tales was nothing new ... [she was] a veteran of half-truths and petty gossip. She knew the best way to handle it, too: ignore it."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She was like Mr. Magoo, running blindly into the most awkward situations, and then walking out of them unscathed and blaming nobody. Hopefully this would be the same."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'I guess I really screwed up,' he admitted to the camera. 'I mean, my girlfriend's life is, like, a train wreck, and I can't even call her."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I know she was the one who said it, but i guess I believed it, too -- that we'd always wind up married."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'You know he loves you,' Serena said, even though she didn't need to. 'And we're all so much happier when we're not fighting.' 'Yeah," Blair admitted. But Nate was going to have to prove it to her on his own. Not that she'd be hard to win over."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Maybe that was the difference between fourteen and eighteen. When you were fourteen, something that seemed like the end of the world today could be completely forgotten tomorrow. When you were eighteen, your life was that much closer to being over."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She wanted to be that girl, she really did. The girl who drank coffee with her boyfriend. A couple. But she didn't want it badly enough to miss the party."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"And now that she'd been through a scandal - or two or three - and come out ahead, she was more resilient. She had a past, a history. She was the girl no one would be able to stop talking about. Big bazongas and all, she ... was destined for success."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'We don't have to go to the same school or even live together. We can just be.' She wiped her nose with the back of her free hand .... 'No matter what we do, we'll always sort of be together, right?'"
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Nate had forgotten what it was like being with Blair. How touching her wasn't a haunted-house experience, where he blindly had to guess where things were and what they were, and wound up bumping into walls. With Blair, he just knew. And everything seemed to fit just right.'"
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"The best stories begin with one boy and two girls."
-from Gossip Girl: It Had to Be You (Prequel) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She was still a pain in his ass, but they'd been in and out of love pretty much since they were eleven years old."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Here was the thing about Blair that he loved. She was spoiled, but she wasn't lazy. She knew what she wanted, and because she believed absolutely that she could have everything she wanted if she tried hard enough to get it, she never stopped trying."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"That's the problem with best friends. Sometimes, they know you better than you know yourself."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"But there was someone missing. Someone who'd always been a major piece of the puzzle in his own lovably f***ed-up, cheating way."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"When she really thought about it, this whole year had been a series of highs and lows, with more lows than highs. But so what if her life wasn't turning out the way she'd imagined it in the movie in her head, and her entire supporting cast had turned out to be assholes? She was about ot move the film to a completely new location and she could hire an entirely new cast. And nobody knew how to steal the shower better than Blair did."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I must be cruel only to be kind."
-from Hamlet by William Shakespeare
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend ...
Hey ain't it good to know you've got a friend?
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah, but don't you let them
-"You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Making me believe they're true
Give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
-"A Kiss to Build a Dream On" by Louis Armstrong
In a white room, in a white head
In a cobweb of enterprise
Where the dreams sleep and fears keep
That's where the colors don't go
That's where the colors don't show
In one take, no give
Half live, half ignore
An endless chase in small place
One world, one white flag
One shopping bag and restaurant
No surprise there, only lies there
I want your eyes to color my world
And see our endless longing

Margaret: "Why didn't you tell me you were some kind of Alaskan Kennedy?"
Andrew: "How could I? We were in the middle of talking about you -- for the last three years."
-from the Proposal
Margaret: "What am I allergic to?"
Andrew: "Pine nuts. And the full spectrum of human emotion."

"You can do this, but that would require to you stop snacking on children while they dream."

Margaret: "I'm not getting in that boat."
Andrew: "Fine. See you in three days."
Margaret: "You know I can't swim."
Andrew: "Hence, the boat."
-from the Proposal
"Three days ago, I loathed you. I used to dream about you getting hit by a cab. Then we had our little adventure up in Alaska, and things started to change. Things changed when we kissed. And when you told me about your tattoo. Even when you checked me out when we were naked. But I didn't realize any of this until I was standing alone in a barn, wifeless. Now, you could imagine my disappointment when it suddenly dawned on me that the woman I love is about to be kicked out of the country. So Margaret, marry me - because I'd like to date you."
-from the Proposal
"People put you down enough, you start to believe it ... The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?"

Vivian: "She saves him right back."

The next several quotes are all from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.3 (Kill Me Now) ...
Richard: "Oh, I like Sophia."
Emily: "You did not."
Richard: "I didn't?"
Emily: "She was the one who sang."
Richard: "That's right! Terrible woman."
Emily: "And after Sophia, we had Anton."
Richard: "That's right. Anton was the one I liked."
Lorelai: "I'm sorry, Dad, how do you mix up Anton and Sophia?"
Richard: "What do you mean?"
Lorelai: "Well, one is a man and one is a woman."
Richard: "And your point being?"
Lorelai: "That one is a man and one is a woman."
Richard: "I have a lot to do in a day, Lorelai. I do not have time to keep up with the multitude of people that your mother employs."
Lorelai: "... But one is a man, and one is a woman."
Rory: "Hey Grandma, these plates are really pretty."
Emily: "Thank you, Rory. They were your great-grandmother's."
Richard: "Lorelai the First."
Rory: "I thought Mom was the first."
Emily: "Not in the name."
Lorelai: "No, but in so many other things, I was a regular trail-blazer. Just finishing your thought Mom."
Lorelai: "I told her she should go out for the debating team."
Rory: "It's not a sport."
Lorelai: "It is the way the Gilmores play."
Emily: "Why should she pick something else? She needs to learn a sport and Richard can teach her a sport. You can use your mother's old golf clubs. They're upstairs, gathering dust along with the rest of her potential."
Rory: "Maybe it won't be that bad."
Lorelai: "Maybe it won't."
Rory: "Maybe I'll like it."
Lorelai: "Maybe you will."
Rory: "Maybe ... you could come with me?"
Lorelai: "Oh, is there a you're crazy team? 'Cause I think they'd make you captain."
Rory: "Please?"
Lorelai: "Rory. I love you. I would take a bullet for you. But I would rather stick something sharp in my ear than go to the club with you."
Rory: "Fine."
Lorelai: "I'd rather slide down a razor blades into a pool of alcohol."
Rory: "I got it."
Lorelai: "Don't stop me, I'm on a roll. Ooh, I'd rather eat my own hand than go to the club with you. I'd rather have my face surgically altered to look like that lunatic rich lady with the lion head, than go to the club with you."
Rory: "Would you like me to drive so you can continue your diatribe?"
Lorelai: "Wouldja? Thanks. Oh, I'd rather cut off my own head and use it as a punch bowl than go to the club with you."
"To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon."
Kirk: "Where do you want the swans?"
Lorelai: "Well, do you know where the pond is?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai: "You know the little road you came up?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai: "Okay. Do you know how to say 'big help,' in Chinese?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai (calling): "Michel! (Back to Kirk.) This is twenty swans?" (There are two in the cages.)
Kirk: "Sure. Why not?"
Michel: "You screeched?"
Lorelai: "Yeah, I need you to show this guy where to put the swans."
Michel: "Absolutely not."
Lorelai: "Well, I can't leave, okay? I've got a major tulle festival going on out here."
Michel: "I will never go near those filthy birds."
Lorelai: "Why?"
Michel: "I hate the swans."
Lorelai: "These particular swans?"
Michel: "No. All swans. I was attacked by a band of swans in the Luxembourg Gardens when I was a boy. No one forgets that."
Lorelai: "Oh no. Not being attacked by a band of swans. Was it an all boy-band? Kind of a scary, feathery, 'N Sync kind of fiasco?"
Michel: "This is not funny."
Lorelai: "No, I'm sorry, it's not. It's not funny at all. (One squawks and Michel jumps.) Oh my god. C'mon, you have to admit that's a little funny."
Drella (with her harp): "Hey, Pepe le Pew. You wanna give me a hand with this?"
Michel: "No."
Lorelai: "Listen -- it's Drella or the swans."
Michel: "So, it's one beast of terror or another?"
Drella: "What the hell is he babbling about?"
Lorelai: "He's scared of the swans."
Michel: "Thank you."
Drella: "Of course he is. He's French."
Michel (to Kirk): "Okay, I will take you to the pond."
Lorelai: "Thank you."
Michel: "But stay far away from me."
Drella (as he walks away): "Can't stand the talk, love to watch the walk."
"The battle of soup versus salad is waging in the other room. Come quick and settle it please, as I am running out of French curses that they won't understand."
Rory: "Mr. Neville likes all things frilly."
Richard: "Oh my god. He's my broker."
Rory: "Well, I don't think one will affect the other."
Emily: "You brought us used dessert?"
Lorelai: "It's not used. It's left over."
Emily: "How nice. I'll just put it in the kitchen next to my half-empty box of Cheer."
Emily: "So, Lorelai, did Rory tell you all about the wonderful time she had at the club?"
Lorelai: "She sure did."
Emily: "Your father was simply flying all week. She really charmed him."
Lorelai: "Well if anyone could, it would be her."
Emily: "I mean, in this day and age of MTV and one hundred televisino channels, who would've imagined that a young girl could still get a thrill spending a simple afternoon with her grandfather."
Lorelai: "That wine would be really good right now, Mom."
Emily: "I think we should consider getting her a membership at the club, don't you?"
Lorelai: "If she wants, sure."
Emily: "I mean, to have a place where she can go to socialize. That's very important to a young girl."
Lorelai: "Well, now especially that the crack-den is closed on the corner, all her really good friends are gone. What do you think Mom? Should I pursue the career in comedy?"
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"The old familiar thrill passed through her. It was always like this when they got back together -- comfortable and thrilling at the same time."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Being the subject of such outrageous tales was nothing new ... [she was] a veteran of half-truths and petty gossip. She knew the best way to handle it, too: ignore it."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She was like Mr. Magoo, running blindly into the most awkward situations, and then walking out of them unscathed and blaming nobody. Hopefully this would be the same."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'I guess I really screwed up,' he admitted to the camera. 'I mean, my girlfriend's life is, like, a train wreck, and I can't even call her."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I know she was the one who said it, but i guess I believed it, too -- that we'd always wind up married."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'You know he loves you,' Serena said, even though she didn't need to. 'And we're all so much happier when we're not fighting.' 'Yeah," Blair admitted. But Nate was going to have to prove it to her on his own. Not that she'd be hard to win over."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Maybe that was the difference between fourteen and eighteen. When you were fourteen, something that seemed like the end of the world today could be completely forgotten tomorrow. When you were eighteen, your life was that much closer to being over."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She wanted to be that girl, she really did. The girl who drank coffee with her boyfriend. A couple. But she didn't want it badly enough to miss the party."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"And now that she'd been through a scandal - or two or three - and come out ahead, she was more resilient. She had a past, a history. She was the girl no one would be able to stop talking about. Big bazongas and all, she ... was destined for success."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'We don't have to go to the same school or even live together. We can just be.' She wiped her nose with the back of her free hand .... 'No matter what we do, we'll always sort of be together, right?'"
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Nate had forgotten what it was like being with Blair. How touching her wasn't a haunted-house experience, where he blindly had to guess where things were and what they were, and wound up bumping into walls. With Blair, he just knew. And everything seemed to fit just right.'"
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"The best stories begin with one boy and two girls."
-from Gossip Girl: It Had to Be You (Prequel) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She was still a pain in his ass, but they'd been in and out of love pretty much since they were eleven years old."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Here was the thing about Blair that he loved. She was spoiled, but she wasn't lazy. She knew what she wanted, and because she believed absolutely that she could have everything she wanted if she tried hard enough to get it, she never stopped trying."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"That's the problem with best friends. Sometimes, they know you better than you know yourself."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"But there was someone missing. Someone who'd always been a major piece of the puzzle in his own lovably f***ed-up, cheating way."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"When she really thought about it, this whole year had been a series of highs and lows, with more lows than highs. But so what if her life wasn't turning out the way she'd imagined it in the movie in her head, and her entire supporting cast had turned out to be assholes? She was about ot move the film to a completely new location and she could hire an entirely new cast. And nobody knew how to steal the shower better than Blair did."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I must be cruel only to be kind."
-from Hamlet by William Shakespeare
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend ...
Hey ain't it good to know you've got a friend?
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah, but don't you let them
-"You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Making me believe they're true
Give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
-"A Kiss to Build a Dream On" by Louis Armstrong
In a white room, in a white head
In a cobweb of enterprise
Where the dreams sleep and fears keep
That's where the colors don't go
That's where the colors don't show
In one take, no give
Half live, half ignore
An endless chase in small place
One world, one white flag
One shopping bag and restaurant
No surprise there, only lies there
I want your eyes to color my world
And see our endless longing

you knew that i was always on your side
All the quotes below are from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.1 (Pilot) ...
\
Lorelai: "Please, Luke. Please, please, please."
Luke: "How many cups have you had this morning?"
Lorelai: "None."
Luke: "Plus?"
Lorelai: " ... Five. But yours is better."
Luke: "You have a problem."
Lorelai: "Yes I do."
Luke (pours her coffee): "Junkie."
Lorelai: "Angel. You've got wings, baby."
Lorelai: "Hi, Drella. Hi. I was just wondering, um, could you be, uh, nicer to the guests?"
Drella: "I'm sorry. Did you not want a harp player?"
Lorelai: "Yes, I did."
Drella: "And did you want a great harp player?"
Lorelai: "Yes, I did."
Drella: "Okay. I am a great harp player. And this is my great harp. Okay? So if you're looking for someone to just be nice to the guests, get a harmonica player, or some guy who whistles through this nose. Okay? Capisce?"
Lorelai: "What's with the muumuu?"
Rory: "Stop."
Lorelai: "No, I'm just saying, you couldn't find one made of metal, in case anyone has x-ray eyes?"
Rory: "And now, we say goodbye."
Rory: "When are you going to tell your parents you listen to the evil rock music? You're an American teenager for god sakes."
Lane: "Rory, if my parents are still upset over the obscene portion size of American food, I hardly think I'm going to make any in-roads with Eminem. (They stop in front of a Teen Hayride sign.) I have to go to that."
Rory: "The hayride? You're kidding."
Lane: "My parents set me up with the son of a business associate. He's gonna be a doctor."
Rory: "How old is he?"
Lane: "Sixteen."
Rory: "So, he's gonna be a doctor in like, a hundred years."
Lane: "Well, my parents like to plan ahead."
Rory: "God, you have to go to the hayride with him?"
Lane: "And his older brother."
Rory: "Oh, now you're kidding."
Lane: "Koreans never joke about future doctors. So, I guess you're not going, huh?"
Rory: "No. I'm still fuzzy about what's fun about sitting in the cold for two hours with a bundle sticks up your butt."
Drella (playing harp): "Nice, huh?"
Woman: "Beautiful."
Drella: "Yea? Well, tell it to the tip jar."
Rory: "You know, it sucks that after all these years, your mom still hates me."
Lane: "She doesn't hate you."
Rory: "She hates my mother."
Lane: "She doesn't trust unmarried women."
Rory: "You're unmarried."
Lane: "I'm hayriding with a future proctologist. I have potential."
Mama Kim: "Boys don't like funny girls."
Lorelai: "Michel, the phone."
Michel: "Mmmhmm. It rings."
Lorelai: "Can you answer it?"
Michel: "No. People are particularly stupid today, I cannot talk to anymore of them."
Lorelai: "You know who's really nice to talk to? The people at the unemployment agency."
Rory: "It's my mother's name too. She named me after herself. She was lying in hospital think about how men name boys after themselves all the time, you know, so why couldn't women? She says her feminism just kind of took over, though personally, I think a lot of Demerol also went into that decision."
All the quotes below are from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.2 (The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton) ...
Rory (having her toenails painted by Lorelai): "So, why are you insisting on doing this?"
Lorelai: "Well, because you're starting private school tomorrow."
Rory: "Yes, but I'm going to be wearing shoes. Nobody's gonna see my feet."
Lorelai: "Okay, but everybody knows that private school girls are bad, and bad girls always wear red nail polish. ... Are you nervous?"
Rory: "About what?"
Lorelai: "About starting Chilton."
Rory: "Well, I wasn't until I heard about all those bad girls."
Rory (waking Lorelai up): "MOM!"
Lorelai (in bed): "What?! God. Hi."
Rory: "What are you doing?"
Lorelai: "Having a heart attack."
Rory: "I thought you were up! It's 7:10!"
Lorelai: "What?"
Rory: "It's 7:10!"
Lorelai: "Stop it. It's a quarter to six."
Rory: "No it's not!"
Lorelai: "Yes it is. I set the clock for a quarter to six, so it's ... (Rory shows her the clock) It's 7:10! Dammit!"
Rory: "I can't be late on my first day of school. Do you know what happens to people when they're late on their first day?"
Lorelai: "It's shorter?"
Rory: "For the rest of the year, they're labeled 'The Late Girl.'"
Lorelai: "Oh, so dramatic. Where's the bathroom?"
Rory: "We have to go. What if there's traffic? Mom!"
Lorelai: "Ugh! I had this all planned, you know? I was gonna get up early, I was gonna have coffee, I was gonna take a shower. I was gonna pick up my clothes from the dry cleaners. ... Oh my god. My clothes."
Rory: "What?"
Lorelai: "I don't have any clean clothes."
Rory: "It's 7:15."
Lorelai: "All my nice things were dirty."
Rory: "It's 7:16."
Lorelai: "Oh my god. I was gonna wear my blue suit with the flippy skirt! I look so great in the flippy skirt."
Rory: "It's 7:17."
Lorelai: "Alright, you know what, time lady? Why don't you go down and warm up the car? That would be really super. Thank you."
Rory: "Just hurry."
Lorelai: "This sucks, this sucks, this sucks!"
Rory (calling from downstairs): "It's 7:18."
Lorelai: "Oh, for the love of god! (Looks at her clock.) This is the last time I buy anything just because it's furry!"
Rory (a few minutes later downstairs): "It's 7-"
Lorelai (running downstairs in cut offs and a tie-dye shirt): "Don't even think of finishing that sentence! (Rory stares at her.) What?"
Rory: "Nothing. I just didn't know the rodeo was in town."
Lorelai: "All right, that's it! I'm bringin the baby pictures!"
Rory: "I'm sorry! I love the rodeo! The rodeo rules!"
Emily (to Lorelai): "Do you need a ride, or is your horse parked outside?"
Emily: "How do you leave the house looking like that?"
Lorelai: "It was not planned, believe me."
Emily: "And on Rory's first day of school. What kind of an impression did you think you were going to make?"
Lorelai: "What are you doing here, Mother?"
Emily: "I told you, I came to put in a good word for Rory."
Lorelai: "Well, she didn't need a good word."
Emily: "I'm not allowed here, is that it?"
Lorelai: "I didn't say that."
Emily: "I'm allowed to pay for it, but I can't actually set foot on the premises. I just want to get the rules straight."
Lorelai: "Oh boy."
Emily: "How about the street? Can I drive down the street?"
Lorelai: "Forget it."
Emily: "Maybe I should just avoid this neighborhood altogether, though my doctor's just down the block. Maybe I can get special permission if I'm bleeding from the head."
Lorelai: "I'm sorry. I was just surprised to see you here."
Emily: "I just thought it was important for this school to know they had a Gilmore amongst them."
Lorelai: "A very good thought."
Emily: "And that some of the Gilmores actually own clothing."
Lorelai: "And on that note, I have to get to work. I'll see you later."
Emily: "Dinner, Friday night. No spurs, please."
Lorelai: "I've already had the longest day of my life and, oh look, it's only ten. How nice."
Luke: "There's no coffee."
Lorelai: "That's not funny."
Luke: "I can give you herbal tea."
Lorelai: "This is not an herbal tea morning. This is a coffee morning."
Luke: "Ever morning for you is a coffee morning."
Lorelai: "This is a jumbo coffee morning. I need coffee in an IV."
Luke: "I can give you tea and a Balance bar."
Lorelai: "Please, please, please tell me your kidding."
Luke: "I'm kidding."
Lorelai: "You're sick. You're a sadist. You're a fiend. (Luke brings out the coffee.) You're pretty."
Luke: "For here or to go?"
Lorelai: "To go, please."
Luke: "You wanna know what this stuff does to your central nervous system?"
Lorelai: "Ooh, do you have a chart? 'Cause I love charts."
Lorelai: "My clothes were at the cleaners, and I had the fuzzy clock and it didn't purr on time."
Luke: "It didn't purr?"
Lorelai: "It's fuzzy. It purrs. You know what? Never mind. I gotta go. I had a plan, dammit."
Luke: "Me too. Next time, you're getting tea."
Miss Patty (to her dance/baton students): "Visualize, ladies. It's a Thanksgiving Day parade. You're standing on Fifth Avenue. There's ah undred beautiful boys marching in place behind you. And there you are -- you are out in front, with your fabulous legs and your perfect tush. Your baton is on fire and the crowd goes nuts! Okay ... Cookie time."
Emily: "I'm going shopping this afternoon and I thought I'd pick up a few things for Rory."
Lorelai: "Like what?"
Emily: "Oh, you know, a couple of extra skirts and tops for school."
Lorelai: "Mmkay. I already took care of that, Mom. I got her two skirts and a bunch of tops."
Emily: "But there are five days in a school week?"
Lorelai: "Really? Are you sure? Because my days of the week underwear only go to Thursday."
Emily: "Is that a joke?"
Lorelai: "Mom, two skirts are fine."
Emily: "I never know with you."
Lorelai: "Really, don't bother."
Emily: "Well, what if she gets one dirty?"
Lorelai: "Well then, she'll wear the other one."
Emily: "What if she gets them both dirty?"
Lorelai: "Well then, I'll use this new-fangled thing called a washing machine. The town just chipped in and bought one. My turn's Tuesday."
Sookie: "They're smaller than the last batch."
Jackson: "No, they're not."
Sookie: "Smaller means watery. No good peach taste."
Jackson: "No, there's plenty of peach taste, being as they're, you know, peaches."
Sookie: "What about the ones on the bottom?" (Digging through the crate.)
Jackson: "Oh, great. No, be sure to check them all. That's get. Give every last one of them a nice good squeeze. You wouldn't wanna leave me one that I could sell to somebody else. Oh, wait a minute. You missed one. Now, I'm not gonna tell you which one it is. I'm just gonna wait until your impeccably good radar ... (Pulls a peach out.) There it is! You got it!"
Sookie (holding out a peach): "Taste this."
Lorelai: "Hm. A little watery."
Jackson: "Oh now, you planned this!"
Elderly inn guest (to Michel): "Oh, excuse me sir. Can you tell me where we can find the best antiques?"
Michel: "At your house, I'd guess."
Miss Patty (to her dancers): "Now, walk smooth. That's the new Harry Potter on your heads. If they should drop, Harry will die and there won't be anymore books."
Babette: "I wouldn't trust these boys. Gnome kickin' says a lot about a man's character."
And a few other quotes ...
"Love keeps no record of wrongs."
-1 Corinthians 13:5
I don't know how to say goodbye to you
I'm not good at things that I don't want to do
Should I pretend I don't care, you don't feel what I feel is there?
I don't know how to say goodbye
-"I Don't Know How to Say Goodbye to You" by Sam Phillips
My yesterdays are all boxed up
And neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
You were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side
Everything was easy then
So sweet and innocent
My demons and my angels reappared
Leaving only traces of the man you thought I'd be
Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared
Leaving you with only questions all these years
But is there some place far away, some place where all is clear?
Easy to start over, with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder all alone eternally?
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No, it isn't how it's really meant to be
Oh they say, that love is in the air
But never is it clear
How to hold it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly
And so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side ...
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life?
When you knew that I was always on your side.
-"Always on Your Side" by Sheryl Crow and Sting
"You were meant to be loved perfectly and surely, I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long."
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Okay, here it is. Your choice. It's simple: Her or me. And I'm sure she's really great. But ... I love you. In a really, really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.5)
"There's the school of thought that says the family you're born into is simply a starting point. They feed you, and clothe you, and take care of you, until you're ready to go out into the world and find your tribe."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.12)
"Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid."

Lorelai: "Please, Luke. Please, please, please."
Luke: "How many cups have you had this morning?"
Lorelai: "None."
Luke: "Plus?"
Lorelai: " ... Five. But yours is better."
Luke: "You have a problem."
Lorelai: "Yes I do."
Luke (pours her coffee): "Junkie."
Lorelai: "Angel. You've got wings, baby."
Lorelai: "Hi, Drella. Hi. I was just wondering, um, could you be, uh, nicer to the guests?"
Drella: "I'm sorry. Did you not want a harp player?"
Lorelai: "Yes, I did."
Drella: "And did you want a great harp player?"
Lorelai: "Yes, I did."
Drella: "Okay. I am a great harp player. And this is my great harp. Okay? So if you're looking for someone to just be nice to the guests, get a harmonica player, or some guy who whistles through this nose. Okay? Capisce?"
Lorelai: "What's with the muumuu?"
Rory: "Stop."
Lorelai: "No, I'm just saying, you couldn't find one made of metal, in case anyone has x-ray eyes?"
Rory: "And now, we say goodbye."
Rory: "When are you going to tell your parents you listen to the evil rock music? You're an American teenager for god sakes."
Lane: "Rory, if my parents are still upset over the obscene portion size of American food, I hardly think I'm going to make any in-roads with Eminem. (They stop in front of a Teen Hayride sign.) I have to go to that."
Rory: "The hayride? You're kidding."
Lane: "My parents set me up with the son of a business associate. He's gonna be a doctor."
Rory: "How old is he?"
Lane: "Sixteen."
Rory: "So, he's gonna be a doctor in like, a hundred years."
Lane: "Well, my parents like to plan ahead."
Rory: "God, you have to go to the hayride with him?"
Lane: "And his older brother."
Rory: "Oh, now you're kidding."
Lane: "Koreans never joke about future doctors. So, I guess you're not going, huh?"
Rory: "No. I'm still fuzzy about what's fun about sitting in the cold for two hours with a bundle sticks up your butt."
Drella (playing harp): "Nice, huh?"
Woman: "Beautiful."
Drella: "Yea? Well, tell it to the tip jar."
Rory: "You know, it sucks that after all these years, your mom still hates me."
Lane: "She doesn't hate you."
Rory: "She hates my mother."
Lane: "She doesn't trust unmarried women."
Rory: "You're unmarried."
Lane: "I'm hayriding with a future proctologist. I have potential."
Mama Kim: "Boys don't like funny girls."
Lorelai: "Michel, the phone."
Michel: "Mmmhmm. It rings."
Lorelai: "Can you answer it?"
Michel: "No. People are particularly stupid today, I cannot talk to anymore of them."
Lorelai: "You know who's really nice to talk to? The people at the unemployment agency."
Rory: "It's my mother's name too. She named me after herself. She was lying in hospital think about how men name boys after themselves all the time, you know, so why couldn't women? She says her feminism just kind of took over, though personally, I think a lot of Demerol also went into that decision."
All the quotes below are from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.2 (The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton) ...
Rory (having her toenails painted by Lorelai): "So, why are you insisting on doing this?"
Lorelai: "Well, because you're starting private school tomorrow."
Rory: "Yes, but I'm going to be wearing shoes. Nobody's gonna see my feet."
Lorelai: "Okay, but everybody knows that private school girls are bad, and bad girls always wear red nail polish. ... Are you nervous?"
Rory: "About what?"
Lorelai: "About starting Chilton."
Rory: "Well, I wasn't until I heard about all those bad girls."
Rory (waking Lorelai up): "MOM!"
Lorelai (in bed): "What?! God. Hi."
Rory: "What are you doing?"
Lorelai: "Having a heart attack."
Rory: "I thought you were up! It's 7:10!"
Lorelai: "What?"
Rory: "It's 7:10!"
Lorelai: "Stop it. It's a quarter to six."
Rory: "No it's not!"
Lorelai: "Yes it is. I set the clock for a quarter to six, so it's ... (Rory shows her the clock) It's 7:10! Dammit!"
Rory: "I can't be late on my first day of school. Do you know what happens to people when they're late on their first day?"
Lorelai: "It's shorter?"
Rory: "For the rest of the year, they're labeled 'The Late Girl.'"
Lorelai: "Oh, so dramatic. Where's the bathroom?"
Rory: "We have to go. What if there's traffic? Mom!"
Lorelai: "Ugh! I had this all planned, you know? I was gonna get up early, I was gonna have coffee, I was gonna take a shower. I was gonna pick up my clothes from the dry cleaners. ... Oh my god. My clothes."
Rory: "What?"
Lorelai: "I don't have any clean clothes."
Rory: "It's 7:15."
Lorelai: "All my nice things were dirty."
Rory: "It's 7:16."
Lorelai: "Oh my god. I was gonna wear my blue suit with the flippy skirt! I look so great in the flippy skirt."
Rory: "It's 7:17."
Lorelai: "Alright, you know what, time lady? Why don't you go down and warm up the car? That would be really super. Thank you."
Rory: "Just hurry."
Lorelai: "This sucks, this sucks, this sucks!"
Rory (calling from downstairs): "It's 7:18."
Lorelai: "Oh, for the love of god! (Looks at her clock.) This is the last time I buy anything just because it's furry!"
Rory (a few minutes later downstairs): "It's 7-"
Lorelai (running downstairs in cut offs and a tie-dye shirt): "Don't even think of finishing that sentence! (Rory stares at her.) What?"
Rory: "Nothing. I just didn't know the rodeo was in town."
Lorelai: "All right, that's it! I'm bringin the baby pictures!"
Rory: "I'm sorry! I love the rodeo! The rodeo rules!"
Emily (to Lorelai): "Do you need a ride, or is your horse parked outside?"
Emily: "How do you leave the house looking like that?"
Lorelai: "It was not planned, believe me."
Emily: "And on Rory's first day of school. What kind of an impression did you think you were going to make?"
Lorelai: "What are you doing here, Mother?"
Emily: "I told you, I came to put in a good word for Rory."
Lorelai: "Well, she didn't need a good word."
Emily: "I'm not allowed here, is that it?"
Lorelai: "I didn't say that."
Emily: "I'm allowed to pay for it, but I can't actually set foot on the premises. I just want to get the rules straight."
Lorelai: "Oh boy."
Emily: "How about the street? Can I drive down the street?"
Lorelai: "Forget it."
Emily: "Maybe I should just avoid this neighborhood altogether, though my doctor's just down the block. Maybe I can get special permission if I'm bleeding from the head."
Lorelai: "I'm sorry. I was just surprised to see you here."
Emily: "I just thought it was important for this school to know they had a Gilmore amongst them."
Lorelai: "A very good thought."
Emily: "And that some of the Gilmores actually own clothing."
Lorelai: "And on that note, I have to get to work. I'll see you later."
Emily: "Dinner, Friday night. No spurs, please."
Lorelai: "I've already had the longest day of my life and, oh look, it's only ten. How nice."
Luke: "There's no coffee."
Lorelai: "That's not funny."
Luke: "I can give you herbal tea."
Lorelai: "This is not an herbal tea morning. This is a coffee morning."
Luke: "Ever morning for you is a coffee morning."
Lorelai: "This is a jumbo coffee morning. I need coffee in an IV."

no gossip ever dies away entirely if many people voice it ...

"No gossip ever dies away entirely, if many people voice it: It too is a kind of divinity."

"[Her] style had always been preppy-good-girl-meets-cheap-slut, but lately, she'd been erring on the cheap-slut side."
-from Gossip Girl: I Like it Like That (Book 4) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Have you ever noticed how when boys are stressed out, all they want to do is play video games by themselves for hours or got to he park and kick a ball around with the other boys? When we get stressed out, we're productive. We clean our closets, shop for the perfect new bag, get our nails done, our eyebrows waxed, and our teeth cleaned. Sitting still is the last thing we want to do, and the thing we most want is to be around people of the opposite sex. Girls -- even our closest girl friends -- are too competitive and will only weird us out even more, while boys provide a soothing distraction. But how does it work when all the boys are busy hanging with one another, playing ball? ... We can try not to get all competitive and weird on our girl friends and have a little fun with them. Face it, after you're done kissing that certain special boy, all you really want to do is call your girl friends, anyway."

i had to let go of the bumper because it hurts too much ...
"I can't take this anymore. Yes, I love Luke, and yes, I wanted to marry Luke. But I didn't want a life separate from Luke, and that's all he could give me. I don't want that. If I'm gonna be with Luke, I want to be with Luke, and he didn't get it and I waited. I mean, god, I waited! It's like Luke is driving a car, okay, and I just want to be in the passenger's seat. But he's locked the door, and -- and so I have to hold onto the bumper, you know? I'm not even asking him to open the door for me. Just leave it unlocked and say, "Come in." But no, he didn't do that, so I'm hanging onto the bumper, and life goes on, and the car goes on, and I get really badly bruised and hitting potholes. And it hurts. I mean, it hurts. So yesterday, I had to let go of the bumper because it hurts too much. It hurts too much!"
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.1)
"You don't have to jump off the Empire State Building to know it's gonna hurt."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.3)
Lorelai: "I never saw myself getting married."
Carolyn: "Never?"
Lorelai: "Not until Max asked me, I think. I mean, I guess I thought about marrying Christopher when everyone was freaking out because I was pregnant, but I never thought about it in a longingly, good way."
Carolyn: "That could be why."
Lorelai: "Why?"
Carolyn: "Well, marriage was just a solution to a problem, not anything romantic or because you were in love ... What about Max? Did you love him?"
Lorelai: "No, I didn't. I wanted to. But I didn't. I don't think I ever really loved anyone, until Luke ... I saw this guy in front of me who was a real man. He was solid, and he was strong. He would protect me, but he -- he got me. I knew all that when we started dating. But that moment, when I realized how much he cared ... Suddenly, I knew I was ready."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"And the crazy thing is, I am ready to get married. I am ready to start the next phase of my life ... I don't want to wait anymore. I don't want to be patient. I've been patient long enough. I'm not happy, and I feel crappy all the time. And I just think I've had it."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"So, what are you going to do? Only you can make you wait. Nobody else can. You need to decide what you want and what you're willing to give up to get it, and then you've got to be okay with that, or you've got to be okay with waiting."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"You don't really seem to have him now, at least not the way you want to have him. You won't get anything unless you ask for it. And if you ask for it and you don't get it, maybe it wasn't worth having in the first place."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"We fixed up the house, right? We have a bigger closet and I didn't get the purple wallpaper because you didn't want the purple wall paper. And if it's between you and the purple wallpaper, I pick you! I pick you!"

Luke: "I don't like ultimatums!"
Lorelai: "I don't like Mondays, but unfortunately, they come around eventually."
Luke: "I can't just jump like this."
Lorelai: "Well, I'm sorry to hear that. And I have to go."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"I'm the perfect storm of caffeine and genetics."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.1)
"There's a giant hole where my wall used to be. It's gonna take a couple of weeks to fix. It's a disaster, but I don't care. I mean, I care, but -- you know what, no. I really -- I don't care. It's like it's not even real to me. it's like my life isn't even real to me unless you're there, and you're in it, and I'm sharing it with you. And, uh, I don't know what I was waiting for and I don't know what I was scared of, but I'm not. I'm not scared, and I'm not waiting. I'm here."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.1)
"Has it ever occured to you that you might be so caught up trying to find the 'right' choice that you've never really stopped to think about the possibility that there may not be a right choice or a wrong choice, just a bunch of choices?"
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.14)
"Well, the only really exciting things in life require more courage thatn we currently have. A deep breath, and a leap. The kind of fear that you're talking about, sometimes, it's how you know that something's worthwhile."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.14)
"It was so right ... and you may not see that right now, but I do. And if I have to wait until we're both 80 years old for you to see it, then I'll wait. I'm not going anywhere. This is it for me. You're it for me, and I can't pretend to feel any less than I do. I'm sorry. I just can't."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.3)
"You're doing something that feels good temporarily, instead of 'healing the wounds.'"
-from Gossip Girl: Because I'm Worth It (Book 4)
"But it's the reluctant heroes of fairy tales that we fall in love with, over and over, despite their flaws."
-from Gossip Girl: Because I'm Worth It (Book 4)
"If anyone had passed by on the road, they'd have seen a mysterious girl ... looking defiantly sure of herself, even though the plot had changed and the script had to be entirely rewritten."

"You don't have to jump off the Empire State Building to know it's gonna hurt."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.3)
Lorelai: "I never saw myself getting married."
Carolyn: "Never?"
Lorelai: "Not until Max asked me, I think. I mean, I guess I thought about marrying Christopher when everyone was freaking out because I was pregnant, but I never thought about it in a longingly, good way."
Carolyn: "That could be why."
Lorelai: "Why?"
Carolyn: "Well, marriage was just a solution to a problem, not anything romantic or because you were in love ... What about Max? Did you love him?"
Lorelai: "No, I didn't. I wanted to. But I didn't. I don't think I ever really loved anyone, until Luke ... I saw this guy in front of me who was a real man. He was solid, and he was strong. He would protect me, but he -- he got me. I knew all that when we started dating. But that moment, when I realized how much he cared ... Suddenly, I knew I was ready."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"And the crazy thing is, I am ready to get married. I am ready to start the next phase of my life ... I don't want to wait anymore. I don't want to be patient. I've been patient long enough. I'm not happy, and I feel crappy all the time. And I just think I've had it."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"So, what are you going to do? Only you can make you wait. Nobody else can. You need to decide what you want and what you're willing to give up to get it, and then you've got to be okay with that, or you've got to be okay with waiting."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"You don't really seem to have him now, at least not the way you want to have him. You won't get anything unless you ask for it. And if you ask for it and you don't get it, maybe it wasn't worth having in the first place."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"We fixed up the house, right? We have a bigger closet and I didn't get the purple wallpaper because you didn't want the purple wall paper. And if it's between you and the purple wallpaper, I pick you! I pick you!"

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."
-Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.15)
"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
