Haley James Scott Quotes
They say you don't know what you've got til it's gone. I guess I didn't know how much I missed you until you were in my life every day.
Haley: When the silence gets too loud, and I really start to miss everyone, I tell myself the same thing: I can't see you, but I know you're there.
Haley: You said the basketball hoop was like my uterus?
Nathan: He caught me totally off guard. He was like a ninja...Like a three foot tall, where do babies come from, ninja.
Haley: These aren't sad tears, they're happy tears.
Nathan: Alright, well how about from now on we do smiles for happy instead?
It all just seems so fake. This idea that good things happen to good people and there's magic in the world, and that the meek and righteous will inherit it. There's too many good people who suffer for something like that to be true. There are too many prayers that go unanswered. Every day we ignore how completely broken this world is, and we tell ourselves that it's all going to be okay, "You're going to be okay." But it's not okay. And once you know that, there's no going back. There's no magic in the worldat least today there isn't.
Jamie: Mama? Mama? Mama? I made my own breakfast and cleaned everything up.
Haley: What do you want, a gold star?
Haley: It's not gonna work. Whatever prize you find in that box is not gonna fix me.
Nathan: Why not? It fixed me
Haley: Please don't think that I take that for granted. But I'm so grateful for who you've been through all this and who've you been.
Nathan: There's no other way to be. You've saved me so many times...I worry that I've been selfish with you. That I've taken advantage of your strength and your selflessness and that I've broken you somehow.
Haley: No, no, you haven't, you didn't. I just have a weight in my heart that I didn't have before. But it's lighter today.
Haley: I was trying to feel something. Anything.
Therapist: And what did you find down there?
Haley: I remembered some of the good things in my life.
Therapist: And did that make you feel alive?
Haley: No. But it made me want to.
I just tell myself to be happy. But I don't feel happy. And when I try to change it, when I try to remember what being happy felt like, I can't. I don't feel joy. I don't feel inspired. I just feel numb.
It all just feels so fake, ya know? This idea that good things happen to good people. That there's magic in the world, and that the meek and the righteous will inherit it. Too many good people suffer for that to be true. Too many prayers go unanswered. And every day it just gets worse. Every day we ignore how truly broken this world is, and we tell ourselves it's all going to be okay. But it's not going to be okay. And once you know that, there's no going back. There's no magic in the world...at least today there isn't.
Someone once said that death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. I could tell you who said it, but who the hell cares.
