Best Leonard Hofstadter Quotes

Good morning you wonderful lot, hope you’re all doing well and have had a good week so far. I, for one definitely have – more specifically this past Sunday as we went to visit Kim, Chris, and Isaac who has grown so much since we last saw him. It was lovely seeing them and having a chat to catch up as well as having plenty of laughter mainly from watching Isaac running around and just being his crazy usual self. Getting to see and speak to my Sister and Brother In-Law and hearing my little Nephew laugh and seeing him having fun has been the best thing thats happened in the past couple of months, its exactly what we’ve needed to cheer us up, and hopefully it wont be too long before we get to see them again as we’ve all said that we really miss one another and would like to see each other more often!

Speaking of laughter, lets move on with today’s post which is the fifth installment of The Big Bang Theory; Best Character quotes, this time featuring the sweet, thoughtful, kind, intelligent, mature, sardonic and socially awkward, but well-meaning, Leonard. The reason Leonard is the most socially adaptable member from his own group is that he is in touch with his own feelings and has actually worked towards communicating effectively. This made him a lot more approachable than his buddies Sheldon, Howard and Raj. During the course of the show, Leonard had quite a few emotional breakthroughs, especially involving his mother, Penny and Sheldon. He noticeably did not shy away from verbally expressing his emotions, and that contributed a lot in his successful relationships, because he could stay honest and blunt without hurting someone. Take a look at some of his best quotes!

Uh, you know, I, I wrote an entire speech to say how high school prepares you and what a wonderful place it is, but I hated it. Maybe high school’s great if you look like this, but I didn’t even feel like I existed at that school. And now that I think about it, I bet a lot of you feel the same way. So, for the remainder of my speech, this is for the invisible kids. Uh, maybe you never fit in. Or maybe you’re the smallest kid in the school, or the heaviest or the weirdest. Maybe you’re graduating and you still haven’t had your first kiss. By the way, 19, and Geraldine Coco, wherever you are, thank you. Maybe you don’t have any friends. And guess what? That’s okay.
