What’s more important? What we become, or how we become it?
- Lucas Scott, One Tree Hill
Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes, a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment… every part of it… will live on forever.
- Lucas Scott, One Tree Hill
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
- Henry James

- William Shakespear

- Lucas Scott, One Tree Hill
To be nobody but yourself- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
- E. E. Cummings
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
- Mark Twain
