Haley James Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

Haley

I was thinking about the finality of it all – how somebody can leave your world in the blink of an eye and be gone forever. It’s too enormous to think about. It’s too hard. And then you’re just supposed to go on, right, like just deal with it, I mean really you’re only supposed to be sad for as long as the flowers last and then, oh, time to go back to telling jokes and reminiscing about the old days. I don’t have any jokes to tell.As a matter in fact I hope I never hear another joke as long as I live. And the old days are just that, they're old days, that are .. gone.

Haley

I hate to tell myself to just be happy. But I don’t feel happy. And when I try to change it, when I try to remember what being happy felt like, I can’t. I don’t feel joy. I don’t feel inspired. I feel numb.

Haley

Mom, it’s me. I know you’re gone. And you’re not coming back, but I was just thinking maybe somehow I could see you again or be able to talk to you or hear your voice. I snapped at Jamie today again, and he didn’t deserve it, and I don’t know why I did it, I just did. He deserves better than who I am right now and so does Nathan. Every day we ignore how truly broken this world truly is and we tell ourselves it’s all going to be okay."You're gonna be okay."But it’s not okay.I know that now.

Haley

(writing a letter to Luke) Hi Luke, Nathan left for camp today and the house is pretty quiet.. Should be more time for me to write. I’ve been feeling better lately but I still think about my mom a lot. I still feel her sometimes, hear her voice, see her smile, truth is that I miss her and I miss you and Peyton and Keith and Karen and Nathan while he’s gone but it helps to have Quinn closer. Truth is when it gets really quiet and the silence gets really loud and I really start to miss everyone I tell myself I can’t see you but I know your there.

Haley

Dear, Lucas. I feel so lucky that Quinn is getting better. It means I can breathe again. The darkness that I've struggled with now seems a world away, replaced by my concern for her. I made a promise that if she was okay, I would try to give back.

Haley

Yeah, the future is scary, you know the world can be threatening. But you should know sometimes when things seem the most desperate, people find you. Help is out there, and you are not alone.

Haley

Dear Lucas, Well, I've been volunteering at a crisis center for a couple of weeks now. I'm struck by the number of people who are struggling in this world. And as much as that saddens me, I'm also humbled by their strength and the courage they display in the face of their struggles.

Haley

Dear Lucas, I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving. Remember the time we shared the wishbone? You got the bigger side, but you let me make the wish. That day, I wished that we'd always find the good in our lives. I'm pretty sure that can come true whenever we want it to. So, I'm gonna make today about the good, because there's so much of it.

Haley

Okay, uh, we have tons of food, so please dig in. And, uh, also, we have a tradition at our house of going around the table and saying what we're thankful for...I'll start. Um, I'm really grateful to be surrounded by such amazing friends and family,and, uh, I'm really glad that you're all here.

Haley

Okay, I think what we mean to say is that we're so grateful for what we have because we've been through so much this year, so many things that were not easy and things that make you realize you're all grown up and on your own.

Haley

Okay this is good. A receipt from a tattoo parlour. One embarrssing tongue piercing and one tattoo. Its like an x rated version of Where's Waldo.

Haley

Well, When I first met Brooke Davis, she had no idea who I was. Of course everyone knew who she was, she was the most popular girl in school. She was head cheerleader, annoyingly pretty (still is), and I used to wonder back then ‘What would it be like to be friends with Brooke? Would she make me popular? Would all the boys start asking me out?’ And then one night I got to hang out with Brooke, all night. Oh, and she didn’t like my name, though, so she decided she was gonna give me a name that, uh, she did like, which ended up being Brooke. And from that moment I knew that I wanted Brooke to be my friend. Not because she was gonna make me popular, and not because boys would start asking me out, but because I got a glimpse of the real Brooke. A girl with the biggest heart that I have ever known. And you know, when you’re in high school, it’s not very easy to let people see who you really are. I could see it though, it was in the eyes. So we became friends, and now she’s my best friend. We’ve been through so much together over the years, and our friendship is still growing. So I know that your friendship and love for Julian will continue to grow every year for the rest of your lives and I feel so lucky to be a part of that. I love you, Brooke Davis.

Haley

They used to call me Wailey. Waily Haley.

Haley

I wanted to make a toast to my amazing friend Brooke for throwing this party. and for… saving my son’s life. Because if she hadn’t risked hers to save Jamie, I wouldn’t be standing here, with all of you, happy. Brooke, there’s a reason why you are Jamie’s godmother. And I’m thankful every day that you are. So, here's to my best friend, Brooke Davis. There is no one else to whom I would trust my child more.

Haley

353,015. That’s how many babies were born today. And this one is mine. Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of us.
