Grief never really goes away. It gets quieter, slower, and sometimes it comes rushing back, like the sea. The de Clermonts accepted you and Emily. More than that, they embraced you. And they recognize your loss.

Orlando

Keep the other Matthew safe for me so he can find me one day.

Diana

Diana will unite all creatures against bigots like you, and she will avenge me!

Emily

There is so much I want to tell you. I'm terrified of changing anything, and yet I'm desperate to change everything.

Diana

[with admiration] Some witches would kill for that kind of power. [looks around] What did I say?

Stephen

You're everything that we dreamed you'd one day become.

Stephen

Let's go meet our future.

Matthew: Forgive me, Stephen, but why are you here?
Stephen: I'm an anthropologist. I'm here to observe. And to look for something. An alchemical book, Ashmole 782.

Marcus: What does the covenant actually stand for today? Segregation, discrimination. We need to evolve if we want to survive.
Phoebe: Hasn't the change already started? I mean, look at this table. Four species dining together. From what Marcus has told me, that's not something that happened very often.
Look, I know I'm pretty new to all this, and I don't mean to be forward, but it seems pretty obvious that the only way forward is together.

I don't care if you're Charles Darwin. You can't timewalk with a powerful object you don't understand. You've already messed with history. You won't find your answers here. The book stays.

Stephen

Gerbert: It would take a powerful witch to get close.
Peter: I'm not your hunting dog, Gerbert.
Gerbert: Fetch.

Every day of my life is a battle for control, a war with myself of the need to possess you in ways that no warm blood could possibly fathom. The blood rage is all-consuming. All I have ever wanted is to cleanse myself of its burden and shame.

A Discovery of Witches Quotes

I'm still not comfortable around magic, especially after what happened to my parents. I still find it... I just find it difficult.

Diana

Once the world was full of wonders, but it belongs to humans now. We, creatures, have all but disappeared. Demons, vampires, and witches hiding in plain sight, fearful of discovery, ill at ease even with each other. But, as my father used to say, in every ending, there is a new beginning.
