QUOTES:

• Wherever life takes u, big cities, small towns u will inevitably come across small minds.People who think they are better than u are.People who think that material things or being pretty or popular makes u a worthwhile human being.But none of these things matter unless u have a strength of character, integrity, sense of pride.And if u have these things, don't ever sell them. Don't ever sell out. So when u meet a person for the first time, please don't judge them by their station in life.Because who knows, that person just might end up being your best friend
• You know, Dawson, I think about it sometimes and wherever we go next...it’s kinda hard to imagine life without you.
• For being my friend, understanding me better than anyone and for putting up with me for the past 16 years. I love you.
• I care about you so much that if I ever lost you I would be standing here totally void of anything else in my life!
• I thought that this is what I wanted. For you to see me as beautiful. For you to look at me the way you look at Jen. But the truth is, that's not really what I want at all. I want you to look at me and see the person that you've always known and realize that what we’ve had is so much more incredible than just some passing physical attraction. 'Cause you know what Dawson? It's just make-up -- and hairspray -- and tomorrow I'll be back to being Joey. Just Joey. The too tall girl that lives on the wrong side of the creek
• I know it. I've know it since the moment we kissed, and maybe even before that. And as scary as it is, I don't want to deny it anymore. I don't want to run from it or let it run from me.
• That's all you had to say, Pacey. Whatever it takes... we'll fix it. Everything is gonna be okay.
• Things don’t always have to work out that way, Dawson. I mean look at us. After all that’s happened. We are... friends. If we weren’t, you wouldn’t have given me this, and I wouldn’t be sitting here telling you to do whatever your heart tells you to do. Because the truth is... Gretchen would be lucky to have you. Night, Dawson.
• Principal Peskin. Our families. My fellow graduates. I stand before you aware of the similarities we share. I know you’re feeling -- outside of my incredible stage fright at this moment -- the same things I feel. Feelings of pride and accomplishment, of closure and regret, and a hopeful outlook for the future. You don’t need me to elaborate on those feelings. Instead I’d like to say something personal. And tell you that there are people in my life who are gone now. People I miss very much. And I am haunted by them in different ways. Whether we’re separated by death, or merely distance, I know they’re still with me. Because I keep them in my heart. The truth is, in time that’s all we’ll be to each other anyway... a population of memories. Some wonderful and endearing. Some less so. But taken together, those memories help make us who we are -- and who we will be. Whether you’re here with each other now... or merely in each other’s thoughts... remember one another on the road ahead. And I hope, no matter where your travels lead you in this life... you take Capeside with you.
• If you and I are going to have an honest relationship, there’s something you should know... I broke things off with Pacey -- not entirely -- but in large part because I didn’t want to lose you. You’re so much of my life. Your house is my house. Your family is my family. There’s not a single significant event I’ve experienced that you haven’t experienced with me. I was afraid of losing all that. But if that wasn’t the choice -- if I thought there was a chance you would forgive me, I might have chosen differently. I just thought you deserved to know that.
• Wow. Lotsa winners there. My mom dying. My dad going to prison. Pacey... But then there’s this other moment that comes to mind. It was a couple of years ago. In this room. I was standing over there, by the window. And you kissed me. And it changed everything. It’s a powerful thing... having your biggest wish come true in one moment.
• I thought this is what I wanted, for you to look at me the way you look at Jen. But the truth is, that's not really what I want at all. I want you to look at me and see the person that you've always known and realize that what we’ve had is so much more incredible than just some passing physical attraction. 'Cause you know what Dawson? It's just make-up -- and hairspray -- and tomorrow I'll be back to being Joey. Just Joey. The too tall girl that lives on the wrong side of the creek.
• I don't think I'll ever love anyone the way I loved you, either. And that's a good and a bad thing.
• A thang? No, I'm not getting a thang for you Dawson. I've known you too long. I've seen you burp, barf, pick your nose, scratch your butt. I don't think I'm getting a thang for you.
• To continue loving somebody even though there's no chance of that love ever thriving...that's romance.
• Listen, Pacey. If I'm thanking you for anything... it's for being yourself. It's for not caring what anybody else thinks. It's for knowing in your own heart what's wrong and what's right. And it's for being there this year... when I needed you most.
• You're born and you die and you make a lot of mistakes in between.
• Do you really love me though? Because I'm 15 years old and I go through everyday of my life thinking nobody loves me.
• Hi. I hardly know what I'm doing here. That's not true umm. Look, I came here tonight because I wanted to tell you that you messed up. You really messed up. And not because you broke the law or you got caught or that you left me without a father. You messed up because you don't know me. I'm your daughter and you don't know me at all. So I guess I just came to say that I'm all right. I turned out pretty good. And I'm going to be okay, no help from you. And uh, I just have one question. Do you love me?
• Dawson, you've had a lifetime to process your feelings for me and I can't sit around the rest of mine hoping that you might throw a general glance in my direction between your tortured teen romances with whatever Jen Lindley rolls into your life next. I can't do it.
• You think every Joey has a Dawson and every Dawson has a Joey?
• So we were friends, then we were a couple, then we were friends again, then we were a couple... what are we now?
• I can't believe you, Pacey. Just when I think I have you all figured out, you do something like this... something outrageous, something that challenges me in a way no one else would even think of. And in case I don't say it enough. Thank you.
