The best quotes from the final episode of One Tree Hill.
#29 “It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.”
-Nathan’s opening narration

The time that we’ve spent together over the years has meant so much, and without you we would not be here tonight. Thank you. This night is yours, this night is ours, and it’s full of all kinds of surprises.”
#25 “Felix got all the credit”

#18 “I knew them as friends”
Mouth: “The name Jimmy Edwards will always mean something to this town. He’s remembered as the confused boy who took a handgun to school and then took his own life. The name Keith Scott was also enshrined that day as a would-be hero who tried to intervene. This is how time remembers them. It’s not how I remember them. I knew them as friends, as did Antwon. And I knew them as sports fans. Both believed that, at their best, sports and athletes can be transcendent. They can remind us that an underdog can still find glory and that there might still be magic left in David’s sling.”
#17 “It’s not my intention that one day this scholarship fund will erase the past. But it is my intention that one day it might eclipse it and remind a new generation of sports fans that what you do matters. And how you do it matters.”
-Mouth about the Edwards/Scott Sports Scholarship
#16 “This house always wanted to be a home and now it will be”

I just knew in my heart that there was treasure here, and I found it. In our sons. In my parents. In you. This house always wanted to be a home and now it will be. Our home. Everyone should have that, a place that makes them happy.”
#15 “It’s a magical place, son. I’ve seen that magic in your eyes for the past nine years. There’s only one Tree Hill, Jamie Scott. And it’s your home.”
-Haley to Jamie, repeating Karen’s line to Lucas from the season 1 finale
