Audrey: Because … you’re beautiful and you don’t know it. Because you’re smart and you don’t believe it. You’re the kind of girl that guys never get over. Joey, you’re the kind of girl that other girls get compared to. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Pacey: Why am I doing this? Because once upon a time, we were best friends. And yes, there’s been a lot of bad stuff in between. But none of that matters right now, okay? You need me. I’m here. Any time … any place … anywhere. ~ Dawson’s Creek

You know ... it really hurts sometimes because he's out there falling in and out of love with these girls that aren't me. ~ Dawson’s Creek

This whole year I've been on this soul-searching journey and I've finally come to the end ... and what I've found is you. ~ Dawson’s Creek

It's agony. Complete, excruciating agony. It's like your heart is being ripped out of your chest and stomped on. You can't breathe, you don't want to eat, you can't function. It's the most intense pain you'll ever feel, and the worst part is there's no way to relieve it. It’s unyielding, merciless torture. And you know it's yours for life. ~ Dawson’s Creek

So this is what I'm going to do: I'm going to hug you. And I'm not going to let go for a really long time. And I'm going to tell you that I love you. Which is actually a pretty good deal. Because it means I’ll do anything on the off chance it'll make you a little less sad. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Jen: Look, I'm sure there are a dozen dimwits with highlights and C-cups that you'd rather be talking to, but you're the only person I can count on. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Don't wait till someone you love is eaten with cancer and wasted away while you hold back the one thing they're waiting to hear. ~ Dawson’s Creek

The reason I came here tonight is because we need to move on. Look, we're not kids anymore, I'm not going to do this anymore ... I thought you should know. ~ Dawson’s Creek

I learned that respect is not commanded through fear, it's earned through compassion. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Don't give up on your lost causes; you never know when your luck will change. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Your mom should get a medal … for raising the perfect boy. And maybe these words tumble out of my mouth because I'm completely head over heels in love with you ... but the scary thing is ... I think its true. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Pacey: What we had was this amazing thing to me. I don't think you ever realized how powerful it was. You changed my life ... and I can't go back to loving you the way I did if I know my love wasn't strong enough in the first place. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Sometimes I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to move forward. There comes a point when it becomes impossible to go back. ~ Dawson’s Creek

You have to have faith that sometimes things happen when they're least expected. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Joey: You taught me to drive. You knew the bracelet I wore to the prom last year was my mother's. You kissed me first and you counted to ten before you kissed me again in case I wanted to stop you. You ... you bought a wall for me.
Pacey: I didn't so much buy it as …
Joey: Three months alone on a boat and you understood without a word why I wasn't ready. Do you really have to ask now why I am? So... in about ten seconds, I'm going to start kissing you. And if you don’t want me to ... well, then I guess you’re just gonna have to stop me.
~ Dawson’s Creek

Dawson: I don't know. But I do know that once I get on that plane - neither of us will ever know anything for sure. Because we will move on. And we will grow up. And we will wake up four years from now, and we will be strangers to each other. And the only thing I know for sure is that I don't want that to happen. Do you? ~ Dawson’s Creek

Tobey: That stupid fantasy where the guy who broke your heart suddenly realizes that he's made the biggest mistake of his life. And he finds you, wherever you are, comes running up to you and says: "I can't live without you. You are my entire universe and if you don't take me back right now I will never love anyone again." Where does this fantasy come from?
Jen: Movies, Television. That place in your heart where there is still hope.
Tobey: Hope. I wish there was something you could take for that. Some kind of pill that made you stop hoping for something that probably isn't even good for you to begin with.
~ Dawson’s Creek

You know, I don't think I'll ever be happy. Wherever I am, I'll always wish I were someplace else. Whatever I have, I'll always want something different. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Jen: Because even though your world has been turned upside-down, you still manage to smile way more than you frown. Because even though things didn't exactly work out between us all those years ago, I somehow knew there would always be room for me in that great big heart of yours. Because even though I'm this intensely neurotic head-case who never quite found her place in Capeside, you always manage to make me feel good about myself. Which, given my self-loathing nature, is no small task. ~ Dawson’s Creek

Dawson: You have this annoying habit of making me not want to get on planes.
Joey: No. You're gonna get on that plane. And you're gonna go make movies. Because that's your dream. And you're gonna be good to every person you meet along the way. Because that's who you are. And if you ever get lost, remember ...
Dawson: What?
Joey: I love you, too.
~ Dawson’s Creek

Let the things you love be your escape. ~ Dawson’s Creek
