Peaky Blinders [Season 1]

— Happy or sad?
— Sad.
— Okay, but I warn you; I'll break your heart.
— Already broken.

Whiskey is good proofing water. It tells you who’s real and who isn’t.

— You think I am a whore?
— Everyone's a whore, Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves.

In France I got used to seeing men die. I never got used to seeing horses die.

Lies travel faster than the truth.

— I love you.
— And there it goes, Grace. Away it goes...

Dear Grace, I write without malice. I learned long ago to hate my enemies. But I've never loved one before.

You have your mother’s common sense but your father’s devilment. I see them fighting. Let your mother win.

May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you’re dead.

You don't parley when you're on the back foot.

You must not let your personal history cloud your judgement.

In pubs sometimes people say things and sometimes it’s the whisky talking. It’s hard to tell which is which.

One thing I have learned is that you and I are opposites, but also just the same. Like an image in a mirror. We hate people. And they in turn hate us. And fear us. Before the day is over, your heart will be broken just the same as mine. Men like us, Mr Shelby, will always be alone. And that love we get we will have to pay for.

God does not care if you live in a slum, or in a mansion. God doesn't care if you are rich, or you are poor...

— You know, there are days <...> that I really wish I'd let you take that bullet in France.
— Believe me, there are nights I wish you had.
