"Our task now is not to fix the blame for the past, but to fix the course for the future." - John F. Kennedy

"We all used to try so hard to fit in. We wanted to look exactly alike, do all the same things, practically be the same people. And when we weren’t looking, that changed." - Now and Then

"And the days went by like paper in the wind, everything changed and then changed again."

"Crazy friends provide for crazy times and what crazy times we've had."

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the troublemakers, the roundheads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see the genius. Because people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

"Today's memories are tomorrow's tears."

"Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything's different."

"In your life you meet people, some you never think about again, some you wonder what happened to them, there are some that you wonder if they ever think about you and then there are some you wish you never had to think about again… but you do. " - The Wonder Years

"Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. " - The Wonder Years

"You start out life with a clean slate. Then you begin to make your mark. You face decisions, make choices. You keep moving forward. But sooner or later there comes a time where you look back over where you have been... and wonder who you really are. " - The Wonder Years

"In seventh grade you are what other people say you are. When it comes down to it, you don't remember the people you tried to impress. " - The Wonder Years

"Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been and look ahead to what would be. Other days, now days, days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves for growing up. " - The Wonder Years

"There are things about your childhood you hold onto, because they were so much a part of you: the places you went, the people you know. " - The Wonder Years

"I'm so scared of everything. I'm scared of how things will turn out when I'm gone. We may say our friendship will last forever. And I do believe our friendship is strong and will never fail because neither one of us will allow it to, but we have no control over the distance that stands between us. It scares me knowing that you are going to be laughing and smiling with someone else other than me. And what scares me the most is that someone is going to take my space as your best friend. I can't bare the thought that when I'm sad and crying, someone esle is going to be here wiping my tears from my face. I know a time is going to come soon when we have to part, but I ask myself why can't it be later and not now. Our lives are going to change once we part, and I fear that so much."

"Even if we never talk again, please know that I am forever changed because of who you are and what you meant to me."

"They say one day our life will flash before our eyes. Make it worth watching."

"Nothing lasts forever, not the mountains nor the seas, but the times we've had together, they will always be with me; The pages may crumble, the pictures may fade, but we'll never forget the friends we've made."

"It was the end of something simple and the beginning of something else."
