Snow White / Mary Margaret Blanchard

— What about your good memories?
— What do you mean?
— Didn't you have moments with him that you love? Do you regret them?
— No, of course not.
— Isn't that what life's about? Holding on to your good memories. All I wanted was a moment with Astrid one moment to give me hope that any dream's possible. You've had all that, Mary Margaret, so stop feeling sorry for yourself and enjoy it.

She can't lose her mother. No one should.

Mermaid: — Let me go.
Regina Mills: — Not until you tell us. Or we make you tell us.
Mary Margaret: — Threatening her isn't the way to motivate her.
Regina Mills: — Well, I'm all out of fish food.

— Who's idea was that?
— Oh, I thought I would put my own personal touch on the office.
— Well, you've succeeded. Hideously.

And happy endings always start with hope.

— She is not a great people person. How did she get elected?
— She's been Mayor as long as I can remember. No one's ever been brave enough to run against her.

— When you bailed me out, you said that you trusted me. Why?
— It's strange. Ever since you arrived here, I've had the oddest feeling like we met before. And I know it's crazy.
— I'm starting to reevaluate my definition of crazy.
— For what it's worth, I think you're innocent.
— Of breaking and entering or just in general?
— It doesn't really matter what anyone thinks I did or didn't do. I'm leaving. Thank you for everything, but I think it's for the best. If I stay, Henry's only gonna keep getting hurt.
— What happens if you go? I think the very fact that you want to leave is why you have to stay. You care about him. Who will protect Henry if you won't?

Sooner or later, your heart will find its way to happiness.

— We're at the edge of the Dark Forest trying to find the one person who can stop our imminent doom and save your unborn child. And you two stop to smell the roses?
— Snowbells.
— I don't care. If they're dancing daffodils. I need to destroy my sister, and so do you.

It taught me that there can be this genuine, selfless connection between people, even strangers.
