Diana: You provoked and humiliated your own son! You exploited his pain! And for what? To drive me away!
Philippe: You needed to see the wolf behind the man. If you are to have a future together, you must accept every facet of him. And Matthew must be freed of the guilt that he carries.
Diana: You did this for us?
Philippe: Your union is forbidden in your time, too, or you would not be here. The two of you will face forces of great malevolence. You must be united, your faith in each other unwavering!
Diana: It already is.
Philippe: No. Your faith is worthless left untested. And Matthew. Matthew has less faith than anyone I have ever known.
Diana: He had faith in you, Philippe. All his life, he has tried to prove himself to you, and you used it against him. Your legacy is one of pain and recrimination.
Philippe: Who are you to lecture me?
Diana: I am worthy of your son.

What am I becoming?

Diana

This newfound caution of yours has blunted your technique. Where is your might? Where is your thirst for blood? Where is my Mattieu!?!

Philippe

I stepped out of your shadow a long time ago. I will not be a pawn anymore!

Matthew

Louisa: Tell me. Am I better company than my brother?
Kit: Infinitely.

One more thing; I love you entirely.

Matthew

Matthew: Decided to join us again, have you?
Diana: I only closed my eyes for a second.
Matthew: It's my fault. I should never have put your through this.
Diana: Wherever you go, I go.

Diana:This journey is so much harder than I ever thought it would be.
Matthew: Yes, I'm sorry.
Diana: I know it's just as hard for you. You know that no matter what, I am always yours.
Matthew: And I am yours. [lots of kissing]
Diana: Then let me have you.
Matthew: Not yet. Not now. In time.

Philippe: When was the last time you fed?
Matthew: What?!
Philippe: It's a long journey; you probably had little opportunity to hunt.
Matthew: Are you actually asking me if I'm eating enough?

Diana: Which one opens the library?
Philippe: We do not lock up books in this house. Reading seldom leads to bad behavior.
Diana: You'd be surprised.

Philippe: You should have told me yourself about your witch.
Matthew: Diana.
Philippe: And yet, she is still a witch.
Diana: I am not just a witch; I'm a weaver.
Philippe: Do you think I am impressed by that? There is nothing new under the sun for me. I have lived a long life. I have seen things that you have only read about in history books.
Diana: Really. I've seen things that aren't even in the history books.
Matthew: Diana.
Diana: Yet.

Matthew: I wish I could prepare you for whatever is about to happen. Do not try and read Philippe. I spent centuries with my father, and I can never tell what he's thinking.
Diana: Ysabeau didn't exactly welcome me with open arms.
Matthew: Neither did I.
Diana: It's you I'm worried about. I can see how hard this has been. When we lose someone we love, we give anything to have them back, even if just for a moment. But, reality of that is quite different.
Matthew: Yes, I've lost so, so many people, but I've always found a place for them in my heart. But it is a wound that never heals, and when I see Philippe again, that wound will be ripped open.

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.

Matthew
