Oh, Becks, you've got me crying here. Goodness, I appreciate how open you are sharing that all with us. And after that video you showed me of the first character, I feel like I really get that quote even though I've never seen the show.

You are strong, but you are complicated, just like those characters you quoted.

It's an amazing thing that these characters we watch on TV can be a reflection of what we go through, or a symbol or what we hope to one day be.

[a little chaos]

Thanks for reading I know it's a pretty long list that's why I gave up on honourary mentions.

It's such an angry list too, but also full of hope it wasn't easy to share, but I feel comfortable enough to now.

"I don’t want to go back. I don't want to…
I just don’t want to do it anymore. I don’t
want to like… I don’t want to take secret
exits. I don’t want to give careful quotes.
I don’t want to smile when I
don't want to smile."

Ginny Baker. This girl has touched me in ways I never thought
possible. She is so real. This quote specially hit close to home
because people are always telling you that you have to be a
certain way ; that you have to act a certain way. You have to
put on a fake smile and go on like everything is okay even if
your world is falling apart. That façade eats away at you. The
face you are forced to put on changes you. This line hit me like
a wreaking ball.

"It, it's my body. It's my own damn
business. I didn't do anything wrong.
Except maybe show zero photography skills."

And again with Ginny. In this day and age I never thought that
we would have a president elect that is so open about women
being a piece of meat. Which makes this quote move even
farther up my list then it would have been a few months ago.
Ginny is a women. A strong women that stands up for what is
right. But one thing that she did years and years ago could ruin
that all. The double standard is unparalleled. Why should be worry
about her damn body! It's hers! They have no right to do or say
anything about it.

Klaus Mikaelson | The Originals

"What some would call evil, I believe to be
an appropriate response to a harsh
and unfair world. "

Klaus. I relate so much to this man. The world has broken him.
Everything that he has been through has shaped who he is. And
some think that is evil. I think it is sad. He was not born being
evil. The terrible world he has lived in shaped him in ways one
can not even imagine.

“In 900 years of time and space, I’ve
never met anyone who wasn’t important”

The Doctor. This show has been a part of my life as long
as I can remember. It has taught me so many things. Even though
The Doctor is fake, an fictional time lord that is hundred of years
old. This line stuck with me because all my life I've been asking
questions. Would anyone know if I left. Does anyone care? Is it all
worth all the pain and anguish? This line instills in me that yes.
It is all worth it. Life is worth it. Sometimes that is hard to remember
when life is throwing **** at you. And this quote helps me remember that.

The Doctor | Doctor Who

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good
things and bad things. The good things don’t
always soften the bad things, but vice versa,
the bad things don’t always spoil the good
things and make them unimportant.”

I have to admit. I am such a pessimistic person. All my life I have always expected the worst thing to happen. It is just how I am. I am used to it, it is who I am. My only problem is that I do not look at the good things that happen. I only pay attention to the bad, I stew and toss and turn on things I could have done. Things I could have said. The bad always out weights the good. But this quote helps me put it into place in my head. It shows me, that even though there are good and bad, they do not cancel each other out. There are there for you to live with. To learn from.

[a little chaos]

Lee made an effort

Great list!

The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good

I love this! Great way to look at things!

And obviously love your klaus quote, I considered using one myself, I too relate to him and feeling like one of his kind. And of course his mistrust and daddy issues.

[Leelith]

I actually tried for once!

[April7739]

Wow, Lee, I'm . . . surprised. But pleasantly.

That Klaus quote is a very interesting one.

You guys have such deep quotes for all of them, and then my number two is, "Out for a walk. Bitch."

[Alexa]

Thats a great one though April. Def. my favorite Spike quote. lol.

Great list Lee! Love the Ginny ones, she has great lines and the Klaus one too.

I want you to walk out that door and I want you to walk down the street, and anybody that wants to **** you, say, "Sure! Sure! No problem!" And when they do, you have to say, "Thank you very, very much." And make sure that you have a smile on your face. And then, you stupid ****ing coward, you're gonna know what it feels like to be a woman.

I love this quote. I love Jenny. And this quote is so powerful.

I just had to go with the 5 that came to my mind first. These were just so powerful and really resonated with me...

TOP 5 QUOTES OF ALL TIME


#1.
Jordan Catalano {My So Called Life}


“See I have this philosophy. If I go somewhere, and someone
I know is there… then cool, there’s something natural about it.
But once you start making plans, then you have like, obligations.
And that basically blows. So my feeling is, whatever happens, happens.”



I actually made the art for this ten days of tv challenge that I did.
The quote really resonated with me because I think its a great philosophy
to live by! This show = AMAZING. Seriously, if you haven’t seen it,
PLEASE GO WATCH IT. It’s only 1 season. Anyways, this quote is just
fdsfdsfdsa! I love it. I want to make it my philosophy, because it really
makes so much sense. Even if it wasn't the best eloquent way to state
it. And even though Jordon comes off as quite stupid sometimes,
he’s actually really smart. ALL of the quotes from this show are just,
amazing, and I feel like everyone can relate to at least one person on
that show. It’s flawless.







#2.
Peyton Sawyer {One Tree Hill}


“I'm sorry, but you don't know anything about my pain!
I'm not gay, Mr. Turner!!! But you know what; if I was I
wouldn't let other people tear me down because of it and
I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for my answers in one
of your pamphlets! Can you hear my song now, Mr. Tuner?”



My all time favorite character, so of course I had to include her too.
I made this art a long time ago, but it was also part of a Peyton
Meme and if you want the link just let me know and I’ll see if I
can find it! But it’s just such a powerful speech from Peyton!
I loved her courage and what she stood for in this scene. I loved
her calling out the double standards in society. I loved her taking
off the shirt to prove a point. She was just a queen in this scene.







#3.
Brooke Davis {One Tree Hill}


"Do you know what my mother said to me when I told her
I wanted to start a company? She said your chances are
one in a million. And I said maybe I'm that one, and she
said 'you're not'. And she was wrong. Because I am one
in a million. And there is a child out there who has something
so special inside of them but whose life is miserable because
they think that nobody wants them. And I can be a great
mother to that child no matter their age or race or sex... I
could help them find what makes them special. And if you
can't see that then you're wrong, just like my mother.
Why don't you go ahead and write that down.”



Ugh this quote is just sfsdfdsf so so so good. Brooke was always
a strong character and I just loved when she stuck it to that lady
that didn't think she was fit for adoption. Brooke's pain was
relevant in this scene too when she brings up her mother and
her mothers words to her. So powerful.






#4.
Samantha Walker {One Tree Hill}


"Quentin Fields was a basketball player. He was also a son.
A brother. Somebody's teammate. Somebody's friend. I
never knew Quentin Fields and I guess now I never will.
There's nothing romantic about death. Grief is like the ocean:
it's deep and dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like
a thief in the night. Quiet. Persistent. Unfair. Diminished by
time and faith and love. I didn't know Quentin Fields but I'm
jealous of him because I see how his absence has affected
the people that did know him so I know that he did matter
to them. And I know he was loved. People say Quentin Fields
was a great basketball player. Graceful. Fluid. Inspiring. They
say on a good night it almost seemed as though he could fly.
And now he can.”



Sorry for all the OTH but it really has the best quotes. This episode was
so incredibly sad and touching though and this speech from Samantha,
someone that actually didnt even really know Quentin, was so powerful.
It was such a great moment hearing her words in the coda as Brooke and
Jamie laid the cape over his grave. The coda song was love as well.







#5.
Meredith Grey {Greys Anatomy}


"You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had
found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with.
I was done. So all the boys, and all the bars, and all the obvious
daddy issues, who cared? Because I was done. You left me. You chose
Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how
I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.”



Grey's also has the best quotes and Meredith is my favorite so of course I love
one of hers. The way Ellen delivered this speech was fantastic. Meredith was so
hurt and broken when she was rejected by Derek and she was totally 100%
right in her speech to him. She met someone else and Derek had no right to
be jealous over it because he picked someone else. UGH such a great scene and
gives me the feels ten fold.

Paulina's TOP 5 quotes

1. Andre Johnson / Blackish

Oh, so you wanna talk about hope, ‘Bow? Obama ran on hope. Remember when he got elected? And we felt like maybe, just maybe, we got out of that bad place and made it to a good place. That the whole country was really ready to turn the corner. You remember that amazing feeling we had during the inauguration? I was sitting right next to you. We were so proud. And we saw him, get out of that limo, and walk alongside of it, and wave to that crowd. Tell me you weren’t terrified when you saw that. Tell me you weren’t worried that someone was gonna snatch that hope away from us like they always do. That is the real world, ‘Bow. And our children need to know that that’s the world they live in.



2. Peyton Sawyer / One Tree Hill

At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, that war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world. 6 billion souls. And sometimes, all you need is one.



3. Dexter Morgan / Dexter

They make it look so easy. Connecting with another human being. It’s like no one told them it’s the hardest thing in the world.

4. Chris Miles / Skins

I was perfectly happy killing myself but then you asked me to try, and for the first time in my life it felt like someone actually gave a ****, and that person was worth trying for. And now, I’d make the world record biggest sandwich if you asked me to. I’d kick old grannies in the ****. I’d fill the rivers with panda pops. I ****ed up big time. I'm more than sorry. I love you Jal. You're my whole world.



5. Nathan Young /Misfits

We're young. We're supposed to drink too much. We're supposed to have bad attitudes and shag each other's brains out. We are designed to party. This is it. Yeah, so a few of us will overdose or go mental. But Charles Darwin said you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. And that's what it's all about breaking eggs! And by eggs, I do mean, getting twatted on a cocktail of Class As. If you could just see yourselves! It breaks my heart. You're wearing cardigans! We had it all. We ****ed up bigger and better than any generation that came before us. We were so beautiful! We're screw-ups. I'm a screw-up and I plan to be a screw-up until my late 20s, maybe even my early 30s. And I will shag my own mother before I let her... or anyone else take that away from me!
