Legacies Quotes

When we're young, we're taught the distinction between a hero and a villain. Good and evil. A savior and a lost cause. But I've learned the only real difference is just who's telling the story. My name is Hope Mikaelson. I come from a long line of villains. At least, I used to think so, but I don't anymore. The school behind these gates once protected the secrets of people like me. Now, we'll use those secrets to protect others. Because we're heroes. And today we'll be opening our doors to the next class of supernatural beings to teach them to be heroes, too.

In my experience, the worst plans can overcome the best, so long as those fighting believe in it. And the person leading them.

— You didn’t mean to say last part, did you?
— Nope.
— The first time you tell me you love me and it’s not even the real me!

The happiness went away it might never come back? But it will. I promise. We just have to find the moment of happiness between the monsters. And screw fate, you know?
