Penny Dreadful Quotes
Dr. Seward: No, miss. So full of pain. All of which is true. You manifest it in any number of ways so you can make sense of it, but it's inexplicable.

They are all those things which walk in your nightmares. Shall we walk together?

We shall have, my dear, a monumental revenge.
Lily
