The Originals

— Would you even be here if I had longer to live?
— Maybe I'd let you chase me around for a few more centuries. That was always the fun part anyway.

— We all must stand alone against our demons.
— What if one day his demons become mine, too?

— You waved your hand and his brain melted?
— Well, that's what happens when people annoy me.

She's amazing. She's healthy. Happy. She's the perfect little girl. And she made me promise that one day she'd get her family back. All of them.

We're only monsters by necessity.

You know better than anyone that my family always gets what it wants. No matter if it takes a thousand days or a thousand years.

— But in a day-to-day, what if when she gets in a fight with a friend? When someone breaks her heart?
— I will kill anyone that harms her.

— I've done plenty wrong in my life, Freya. But things are different now. I have a sweet little girl who's going around healing injured fireflies with her magic. If we're keeping someone captive in our barn, she's gonna have questions...
— Then tell her that the world's a bad place and that sometimes we have to do bad things to survive. She'll be safer if she learns that early.
— It's not her job to keep herself safe. It's mine. It's ours. And that includes protecting her innocence.
— She's a Mikaelson... she can live without her innocence. She can't live without her family.

— You, luv, are the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson. You're going to be the greatest witch the world has ever seen. And nothing will scare you.
— I know what you are, you know. The strongest in the world. Strong enough to keep all of the bad things away.

— Mom said you loved New Orleans most of all.
— I did, once. But putting your love in a place is a mistake. Being here in our home, seeing these walls… I am reminded that it is people who are best suited to fill our hearts.

— So, you can only see me as some kind of merciless butcher.
— Yes. I do.
— I'll be whatever you want me to be, Vincent Griffith. I'll be the very devil himself, but make no mistake, I would violate everything sacred under the sun in the name of rescuing my niece.

All magic is just opening locks and finding loopholes.

— The merciless badass who doesn't get sentimental about anyone.
— Somebody's got to be the big sister.

The heart which beats in your chest is a warrior's heart. The heart of a Mikaelson. Whatever hold this power has over you, it is nothing compared to your strength. Yours is a power greater than you know.

— Growing up, I never belonged anywhere. Not in school. Not in foster care. I always thought if I could find my parents, I'd finally belong somewhere.
— You do belong somewhere.
