Having a baby in your forties is exhausting, and people will judge you if you keep a sippy cup full of wine in the stroller so you can pound grape.

Ellie

Men start being needy so young. Grayson's still like that. But instead of letting him nuzzle up with my boobs I let him...nope, it's the same thing. He dives right in like he owns the place.

Jules

Oh that's right. You have a kid!

Jules (to Ellie)

Jules: Ellie is not a morning person. Or a night person. There's really only about seven minutes a day you are fun to be around.
Ellie: The best part is you never know when they're coming.

You never know who you'll encounter along the way. Who knows, maybe fairy tales come true after all. XOXO. —Gossip Girl.

Gossip Girl

Blair: Why does love have to be so hard, Dorota? All I ever wanted was a simple fairy tale. Kate Middleton has it. And I have much shinier hair. Although she does have a better assortment of hats.
Dorota: Don't despair, Miss Blair. Destiny full of surprises.

As with any journey, who you travel with can be more important than your destination.

Gossip Girl

Nate: You still thinking about your mom?
Raina: Yes. But not for the reason you think. My dad always said she never tried to contact us. But I can't help but wonder, since he lied about so much stuff...
Nate: Maybe he lied about her too. You could find out for sure, you know. You can look for her.
Gossip Girl: Walking down the primrose path, you risk finding hell instead of happily ever after.

Lily: I did not reject you. All I ever wanted was your approval.
Carol: Well you got it now. Turning yourself in. Not giving a damn what people think. That's my Lily.
Lily: Will you come visit me in prison?
Carol: I will smuggle you pot brownies.

Carol: I hope that Charlie speaks to me on the plane.
Lily: Serena says they had a great girls' night. Probably just want she needed. In light of, you know, your decades of massive hypocrisy.

Poor lost prince. What's the point of having a kingdom if you have to reign alone?

Gossip Girl

Dan: Blair, your prince is out there waiting for you. Might not be me or Chuck, but he's out there.
Blair: Your princess is too. If you're ready for her.
