Andie: "I slept with another guy six months ago! I knew it was wrong when I did it. I keep trying to tell you this and make you understand. How many times do I have to say it?"
Pacey: "Andie, if you wanted to sleep with him, if even just for a second, then maybe it wasn't wrong. Maybe... maybe that was just your heart's way of telling you that I'm not the one. Because that's what my heart's telling me right now. It's telling me you're not the one."

Miss Freckling: "The point is, the heart is a fragile thing. Break it too badly and it might well never recover."

Jen: "Do you know how much is going to happen to you in the next two years if you do them right? Your heart is going to swell and break a hundred times before you turn sixteen."
Henry: "How does that make me any less ready for you now? I can still care about you more than anyone ever has."
Jen: "No offense, but that's not saying much."
Henry: "Then give me a shot. What do you have to lose?"
Jen: "Listen, Henry, what you need right now is somebody who can not only understands what you're going through but who can also go through it with you. Believe me, everything that you haven't done I have."
Henry: "Except fall in love. You haven't done that, or else you'd have someone. But you don't. Which leads me to believe that everything you think you know about love is questionable. And as long as it is, you can't tell me I'm not the one for you."
Jen: "Henry, what you need to know about me, and it's something that I'm just beginning to understand, is that until I can learn to look at myself without judgment or condemnation, I'm not ready for anyone, let alone you."
Henry: "You know what you just said about my heart breaking a hundred times? Well, there goes number one."
