10 Seth Cohen Quotes For Everyday Life

Seth Cohen is my destiny. Sorry to call dibs right away, but I will never get over The O.C.'s break out male protagonist. Although he has some qualities that make him a bit undateable IRL (like, you know, the fact that he's completely fictional) he is the nerdy heartthrob we all WISHED the guys at our high school looked like. And that's partially because aside from being super cute (and dark-haired? I swoon) he was easily the most quick-witted teenager in all of Orange County.

Seriously, part of the Seth Cohen charm was in his ability to wield sarcasm as a shield, and he approached every situation with self-deprecating charm. (Or sometimes just self-deprecation.) It's why his Atomic County alter-ego was The Ironist: he was able to disarm his enemies with his sharp words. Take that, Demonic Water Polo Boy!

The O.C. ended in 2007, so we never got to see him live happily ever after with Summer. But his eternal wisdom and biting remarks still live on, and can definitely be applied to your every day struggles. Though this barely skims the surface, enjoy these 10 Seth Cohen lines that you, too, can apply to the fails and triumphs of modern life.
