Wednesdays 9:00 PM on The CWKlaus Mikaelson Quotes
Klaus: What is it you want, Rebekah?
Rebekah: The same things I've wanted since I was a child. I want a home. I want a family. I want someone to love me, and I want to live.
Rebekah: I know you hate me, but what's done is done.
Klaus: What's done is never done. It remains within us, the story we tell ourselves so we know who we are. A vicious father, a bastard son, and the sister who betrayed him. Perhaps it's time for a new story.
You said our father ruined us, and I can't help but wonder, what if his father ruined him?
Klaus: I love my family. You, Elijah. I loved all of you. I know I can be difficult, but I did not make myself this way. It was Mikael who ruined me.
Rebekah: He ruined me, too. That's what you forget.
Rebekah: You're insane.
Klaus: YES. YES. I am a vicious, heartless monster...
You look at me and you see everything you abhor in yourself. Sure, you dress it up with your fancy suits and your handkerchiefs. You with your mask of civility and eloquence, you're every bit the abomination I am. Or worse.
Klaus: You stand accused of betraying your own blood. How do you plead?
Rebekah: I plead you to shut up and listen.
Elijah: Niklaus, I understand your anger, but I implore you, be better than him. Do what he could not. Demonstrate the grace of mercy rather than this petty cruelty.
Klaus: You ask me to show mercy to one who has wronged me? You really don't know me at all, do you, brother?
Klaus: How long do you think you can defend her?
Elijah: As long as it takes, and by whatever means necessary.
[to Cami] I lived but all that we build died, as did the last shred of me that felt human. That is what my father took from me that night.
Cami: Be a good little boy and get back into bed.
Klaus: If I had a quid for every time a woman tried that line on me...
Cami: You'd have, like, no money.
Klaus: Oh, I beg to differ. Some women actually find me quite charming.
As you may have yet to realize, Cami, the line between what brings us pain and what sustains us is far thinner than one imagines.
