• “Sometimes hours can feel like minutes and sometimes a single second can last a lifetime.”

• "“It’s one thing not to want something, it’s another to be told you can’t have it. I guess it’s just nice knowing you could someday do it if you changed your mind. But now, all of a sudden, that door is closed."

- Robin, 7x12 Symphony of Illumination

• "I think for the most part, if you’re really honest with yourself about what you want out of life, life gives it to you."

- Ted, 2x22 Something Blue

• "If you’ve lived your whole life thinking one thing, it would be pretty devestating to find out that wasn’t true."

- Barney

• " I love everything about her, and I’m not a guy who says that lightly. I’m a guy who has faked love his entire life. I thought love was just something idiots thought they felt, but this woman has a hold on my heart that I could not break if I wanted to. And there have been times that I wanted to. It has been... overwhelming and humbling and and even painful at times. But I could not stop loving her any more than I could stop breathing. I am hopelessly, irretrievably in love with her. More than she knows."

-Barney, 8x6 Splitsville

• "Everyone’s got some baggage; it’s part of life. But like anything else, it’s easier when someone gives you a hand with it."

- Ted

• "The truth is you could fight your whole life to do good and still get nowhere."

- Marshall, 8x8 Twelve Horny Women

• "I am constantly amazed by the things you say. Entranced by the things you do. And, unlike a certain jalapeno coconut vodka martini, you're easy on the eyes. If we're together long enough, I hope that you can see yourself the way I see you."

- Kevin, 7x10 Tick Tick Tick

• " I know it's a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it's a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say 'yep, that was a mistake.' So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you'd go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not. And dammit, I've made no mistakes! I've done all of this; my life, my relationship, my career, mistake-free. "

- Lily, 1x21 Milk

• " Eight years ago I made an ass of myself chasing after you and I made an ass of myself chasing after you a bunch of times since then. I have no regrets because it led me to something I wouldn't trade for the world, it led to you being my friend. So as your friend and a leading expert in the field of making an ass of yourself, I say to you, from the heart, get the hell out of this car."
