Carrie: You shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it.
Carrie: I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love. And I don't think that love is here in this expensive suite in this lovely hotel in Paris.
Carrie: Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.
Samantha: XXXX me badly once, shame on you. XXXX me badly twice, shame on me.

Carrie: Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.
Carrie: Can you get to your future if your past is present?
Carrie: Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they're supposed to run wild until they find someone -- just as wild -- to run with.
Carrie: I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet.
Carrie: When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less. Than butterflies...
Carrie: I had often fantasized about running into my ex and his wife. But in those fantasies, I was running over them with a truck.
Big: It took me a really long time to get here, but I'm here. Carrie, you're the one.
[Miranda pulls a chain of condoms out of her diaper bag.] Samantha: Oh, honey, isn't the baby birth control enough? Miranda: They're Steve's. And Debbie's, his new girlfriend, that's her name. Debbie. Carrie: Where are they doing it, Gymboree? Samantha: Debbie does daycare. [Brady picks up the condoms and puts them in his mouth. Charlotte is horrified.] Samantha: Oh, honey, relax. I have those in my mouth all the time.
Carrie: Have you? Mr. Big: Have I what? Carrie: Ever been in love. Mr Big: Absofuckinglutely.
Charlotte: I mean, don't you ever really wanna' be pounded hard, you know, like when the bed is moving all around and it's all sweaty and your head is knocking up against the headboard and you feel like it might just blow off. Dammit', I just really wanna' be XXXXed, you know just really XXXXed!
Mr. Big: You girls are the loves of her life, a guy is lucky to come in fourth.
Samantha: I think I have monogamy. I must have caught it from you people.
Carrie: Your girl is lovely, Hubble. Big: I don't get it. Carrie: And you never did.
Miranda: I didn't tell Walker I had a baby. Charlotte: How could you not mention it? Miranda: It didn't come up! If Walker had asked me directly, "have you given birth recently," I would've said... first of all, define "recently."
