Take it from a former bourbon drinker: just because something feels good doesn't make it right.

There are a lot of amazing things in the world to study. And some of them are even things that don't want to hurt you.

I've just spent a lot of time with supernatural people who were never comfortable in who they were. These kids... These kids will be better.

I am grieving, Hope! And maybe you should try that sometime instead of pushing everyone away.

I know this isn't gonna be easy for you. You've experienced more loss than anyone your age should ever have to. I've lost people I've loved in every way imaginable. Long and drawn out. Sudden, unexpected. None of them are good. But I can tell you what the worst is. It's when you have regret. When you were unable to... say the things that you needed to say. You can't control the rest. But you can make the most out of the time you have left together.

You know, some people think that the real you comes out when your inhibitions are lowered. But in my experience, sometimes what really defines someone is what they won't do.

— Revenge feels good for a brief moment, but it won’t bring Kaleb back and it won’t make you miss him any less.
— Thanks for the advice. I'll make certain to enjoy that moment.

— This is the part where you tell me you're proud of me.
— You know I'm proud of you. You know it.

— Hope Mikaelson, if there is one person I am confident will find a new path, it is you.
— I don't want a new path. I just got back on this path.

— Any other ideas?
— Just one. But, uh... we are both going to hate it.

— This is all very confusing.
— Because you're drunk.

— Why didn't you turn it off?
— Because that's never the answer.
— Isn't it?

— I mean, this psych evaluation you did on her. It has more red flags than a Georgia football game!
— Of course it does, she's a Mikaelson.
