Wonder Years Quotes
After all, if growing up is war, then the friends who grew up with you deserve a special respect. The ones who stuck by you shoulder to shoulder, in
a time when nothing was certain, all life lay ahead, and every road led home. ~Kevin Arnold

himself after he realized he wouldn't get Winnie back in the last episode
Great. All the Chevies in all the world, she has to walk into mine. ~Kevin
thinking after he gets into the car winne's in while hitch hiking home
Yeah. [pause] No. [pause] I mean, you grow up next door to someone and
you figure you really know him. And then like...overnight, you find out you...you don't know him at all.
Once upon a time there was a girl I knew, who lived across the street. Brown
hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that ever happened to me that mattered, in some way had to do
with her. That day Winnie and I promised each other that no matter what, that we'd always be together. It was a promise full of passion and truth and
wisdom. It was the kind of promiss that can only come from the hearts of the very young.~The last episode
The next day Winnie and I came home. Back to where we'd started. It was the
4th of July in that little suburban town. Somehow though, things were different. Our past was here, but our future was somewhere else. And we both
knew, sooner or later, we had to go. It was the last July I ever spent in that town. The next year, after graduation, I was on my way. ~the last episode
Karen's son was born in that September. I gotta say, I think he looks like me. Poor kid. Mom, she did well: business woman, board chairman, grandmother...cooker of mashed potatoes. Wayne stayed on in furniture. Wood
seemed to suit him. In fact he took over the factory two years later, when dad past away. Winnie left the next summer to study art history in Paris. Still we never forgot our promise. We wrote to each other once a week for the next eight years. I was there to meet her, when she came home, with my wife and my first son, eight months old.~the last episode
I grew up in the suburbs. I guess most people think of the suburb as a place with all the disadvantages of the city, and none of the advantages of the country, and vice versa. But, in a way, those really were the wonder years for us there in the suburbs. It was kind of a golden age for kids. -The 1st ever episode
Paul and I had decided the best way to prepare for highschool girls was to look at them naked. ~Kevin while looking at the book, Our bodies, Ourselves
In one of those quirks of scheduling my first class was gym. This meant that I had to wake up in the morning, shower, get dressed, go to school, get undressed, run around, shower and get dressed all in the pace of about 45 minutes. ~Kevin on his 1st day of junior high
A suburban junior high school cafeteria is like a microcosm of the world. The
goal is to protect yourself, and safety comes in groups. You have your cool kids, you have your smart kids, you have your greasers, and in those days, of
course, you had your hippies. In a fact in junior high school, who you are is defined less by who you are than by who's the person sitting next to you.
~Kevin when enetering the cafeteria
Sometimes to keep growing together, you have to grow apart.
If you're lucky you can get a second chance with the one you love. Sometimes luck isn't enough.
Love can kill you..It can tear you apart. But it can bring you back together.
Love is unpredictable, you have to go with your heart and hope for the best.
We think the stars are fixed in the sky, but they're not. We need to give
into change, to new things. ~Madeline (One of the many girls Kevin had a crush on.)
I'm young. I live in a house my father owns, in a bed my father
bought..Nothing is mine..except my heart and my fears and my growing knowlege that not every road is gonna lead home anymore.
There are things in life that matter, things in the past that can't be
denied. Winnie Cooper is part of me, and I am part of her. And for as long as I live, I will never ever let her go.
On the uncertain road of adolescence, there are bound to be a few bumps along the way.
I never knew how bad it hurt to lose something I never really had.
There's more to life than being cool, athletic, and popular.
And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back with wonder.
Who knows what the summer breeze might bring
Winnie, you know I don't get you!! One minute you like me, the next you don't. You've been doing this all year. First you kiss me, then you act like you don't like me. If you like me, fine, if you don't, quit acting like it!!
In 7th grade, you are what other people say you are. And when it comes down to it, you don't remember the people you tried to impress.
Change is never easy. You fight to hold on. You fight to let go.
Things in life can get lost without any certainty of finding them again. ~Kevin Arnold
Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; the next day
you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. ~Kevin
They say hindsight is 20/20, and I guess that's true; because standing there that night everything became so clear.
I'd taken something most people never have and thrown it away for something less. I'd been so busy trying to impress the people that didn't really matter and I'd torn apart the only ones that did...us. ~Kevin Arnold
Friends? I'll show you friends!!!~Becky Slater
All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone who makes us
complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of
heartbreak and hope all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is
someone searching for us. ~Kevin (The Wonder Years)
What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out onme?
