Favorite Lucas Scott Quotes
Karen: My son, the next great American author.
Lucas: I don't know about that, ma.
Karen: And, UNC would be your dream school?
Lucas: Yea, sure, I mean if we had the money.
Lucas: The truth is, I care about Peyton.
Brooke: Then what is the difference?
Lucas: The difference? The difference is I love you Brooke. I wanna be with you, not Peyton.
Brooke: But why? I need to know why.
Lucas: Because, you kink your eyebrow when you're trying to be cute. Because you quote Camus even though I've never actually seen you read. Because you miss your parents, but you'll never admit that! And because I've given exactly two of these embarrassing speeches in my life, and they've both been with you. I mean, that's gotta mean something right?! And because we're both gonna get pneumonia, but if you need to hear why I love you, I can go on all night.
Lucas: (voiceover) Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote: 'All are architects of fate... living in these walls of time.'

Lucas: (voiceover)
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
- Invictus, William Ernest Henley
Peyton: That's where we're at right now. It's not fair to her to make a big deal out of what happened. It didn't mean anything. I'm sorry.
Lucas: Peyton....(kisses her) See, it does mean something.
Peyton: It can't.
Lucas: But it does.
Peyton: Lucas, you're dating Brooke.
Lucas: I know, and she's great, okay, but she's not you. Look, ever since you came to my room and told me how you felt about me, I've been hiding with Brooke. Okay, I've been trying not to get hurt again. I don't wanna hide anymore.
Lucas (voiceover): Blaise Pascal once said: "The heart has reasons that reason cannot know."
Karen: You know, this trip wasn't just about finding you a school. It was about finding a way back.
Lucas: To what?
Karen: To a place where it's okay to dream again. You know, you walked away from basketball so that you could live a long life. What are you gonna do with that life. What's your next dream, Lucas?
Lucas: Literature, you asked me about my future; if I could go to any college it would be to UNC to study literature.

Lucas: Someday I'm gonna marry you Haley James, someday.
My best friend, Haley, left town recently. And it's.. been hard. You know, until this year, it's... it's always been us against the world. We pretty much grew up together and.. now she's just gone. You know, I.. I understand the leaving part. Trust me, I just wish she woulda called me; before she left. I wish.. I coulda talked to her about it. I mean, not to change her mind.. or to tell her what to do, but.. just to say I love you... and I miss you. Just to say goodbye. My brother's been going through a tough time lately. I wish there was more I could do to help him. I mean, just getting along is kinda new to us. But I guess that's how brothers are. Better to each other and worse to each other than anybody else. I also wish I could make things easier for my mom. I mean, even though it's been a tough year for us, I want her to be happy more than anything. But that doesn't change the fact that I need to get closer to my father because if I can get closer to him, maybe I can find a way to beat him. Once and for all - set the people that I love free. I just hope I have the strength to tear him down for good.
Lucas: I saw you with him.
Haley: Who, Nathan? God, he got a good grade on that math quiz. It was nothing.
Lucas: I want to believe you, Haley. I do. But I don't think you're telling the truth.
Haley: I am telling the truth, Lucas. There's nothing going on.( Lucas sees her bracelet that Nathan gave her)
Lucas: Nice bracelet.
Brooke: Hey cutie! I saw your picture in the paper. Personally, I didn't think it did you justice.
Lucas: No?
Brooke: No. Far too much clothing.
