With friends … throughout the years with each other, you start to realize that all the things you want to be … you already are. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Someone out there is meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soul mate, the one you can tell your dreams to. He’ll smile at you when you tell him, but he’ll never laugh at your heart. He’ll brush the hair out of your eyes and send you flowers when you least expect it. He’ll call you to tell you goodnight before you get into bed or just because he is thinking about you. He’ll be bursting to talk to you each morning just to hear the sound of your voice. He’ll look into your eyes and tell you that you are the most beautiful girl he has ever seen and for the first time in your life … you’ll believe it. ~ Dawson’s Creek

I don’t know what else to say – except my intentions are nothing short of honorable. I’ve never met anyone like you before. You scare me. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Believe me, you’re far from nothing. ~ Dawson’s Creek

I am a firm believe that things happen for a reason and things have a wonderful habit of working themselves out … regardless of how you may plan them to the contrary. ~ Dawson’s Creek

As long as I can still feel something, it’s not over. And believe me, sometimes I wish it was, but it’s not. I can feel it. ~ Dawson’s Creek

It is worse to be incapable of loving than to not be loved. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Well, in my experience, erratic behavior of the female orientation usually means the root of the problem is something unexpected. ~ Dawson’s Creek

In all other respects, we were on two different planets, and that’s what I came to tell you the other day. I’m fine. I’ve grown up. ~ Dawson’s Creek

I care about you so much, but if I ever lost you, I would be standing here totally void of anything else in my life. I live in total fear of doing nothing, of going nowhere, and that is why I shut you out. Because if I can’t have something to hold onto independently from you, then I don’t have anything at all. ~ Dawson’s Creek

You are getting off easy and you know it. I’m not going to let you put up some false protest so that you can feel better about yourself. I am ending it now. That’s how I know that it’s over – you didn’t say a word, not a word! Because you don’t have the energy to fight it and I deserve better than that. ~ Dawson’s Creek

If there’s just one piece of advice I can give you, it’s this: when there’s something you really want, fight for it. Don’t give up, no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you’ve lost hope, ask yourself if, ten years from now, you’re gonna wish you gave it one more shot because the best things in life … they don’t come free. ~ Dawson’s Creek

As you know, I’m not good at good-byes, but I guess that’s what this is … a real one this time. Because as much as I thought I wanted us to be together, I guess what I want more is one of those people who lives every moment of his life without indecision and without regrets, someone who dares to disurb the universe without a thought to the consequences. And you’re not one of those people, at least not yet. Maybe you’ll prove me wrong about that one day. I hope you do, but who knows? Maybe people can’t change, maybe we’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again no matter how hard we try. ~ Dawson’s Creek

I always hope for a happy ending – how crazy is that? ~ Dawson’s Creek

My life began when I met you and you never gave up on me, so I’m not going to give up on you. ~ Dawson’s Creek

When I was afraid of everything, I was never afraid to love you. ~ Dawson’s Creek

I need a friend, someone who will be there for me without any agenda … the person you used to be. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Having you to talk to makes all the difference in the world. ~ Dawson’s Creek

You know, for the longest time, I was waiting to love someone like I loved you. But somewhere along the way, I realized that’s no gonna happen. And it’s okay. You were my first love when I was a romantic kid. But you’ve got to grow up sometime. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Joey: When something like this happens, you wanna reach out and grab the people around you, the ones who matter most. The ones you take for granted all the time. And you want to take those people and hold on to them as tight as you can, tell them how precious they are to you … how knowing them makes your life better every single day that you’re living it. Because when something like this happens, you realize how awful it would be if they didn’t know, if they weren’t aware of the profound effect they’ve had on your life. So, I want to take this moment to tell you that I love you, and that I’m here for you … now, forever, and every day in between. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Most people, when they get to college, feel really insecure. It seems like everybody around them knows so much more. So they race to try to catch up, pretend to know things, instead of slowing down to actually learn them. Because they don't realize that the discomfort of uncertainty is the most precious part of the experience. See, if you can feel comfortable... not knowing, you can learn anything, ANYTHING. And if not, well, then you've stopped before you've begun. ~ Dawson’s Creek

I need to go on with my life. Go back to college. Figure out who I am, and what I want. This is not my place. Not here, and not with you. ~ Dawson’s Creek

There’s a part of me that's gonna be in love with you for the rest of my life. ~ Dawson’s Creek

For the first time, in a long time, my life is real. It doesn’t matter who ends up with who, because in some unearthly way ... it's always gonna be you and me. ~ Dawson’s Creek

And you need to go this time. You need to see for yourself. I can sit here and tell you that it's a colossal mistake and that all roads lead back to me, but it doesn't matter. Words, speeches ... they sound great, but they don't add up to anything. All that matters right now is what you want. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Well, it's just something that I've been thinking about and I wanted you to know that I was thinking about it. You know, I was gonna ... keep my mouth shut and let you go ... but it's not me. That's some merchant ivory movie, you know, where people suffer in silence and you're supposed to be so impressed by their restraint. Well ... you know ... sorry, but screw that. My best friend in the whole world is leaving tomorrow and a big part of me wants him to stay ... so I hope you don't hate me. ~ Dawson’s Creek
