Matthew: No. From here, the heart vein. They say it tastes sweeter. To drink from one's mate is to know that nothing is hidden, and all that is left is complete belonging and honesty.
Diana: Drink that.
Matthew: Then I will know your secrets, and you won't know mine.
Diana: I could. The witch's kiss allows me to see inside your soul.
Matthew: You might not like what you find.

Diana: Goody. I told you I'd come back.
Goody: Perhaps you are the tonic I require.

Queen Elizabeth: Matt? Thank you.
Matthew: You're welcome, Bess.

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.

Matthew

Queen Elizabeth: If these claims came from anyone but you, Shadow, I would not believe a word.
Matthew: And yet, in your heart, you know it to be true.
Queen Elizabeth: You are a future Matthew.
Matthew: Your true Shadow, the one that disappointed you so.

Queen Elizabeth: And my realm?
Matthew: It is secure. And 500 years hence, everyone knows your name -- Queen Elizabeth the First, Gloriana, the greatest monarch in English history.

Matthew: What did you find?
Diana: You. Only you.

Diana: I've been trying to understand it, but it's been resisting me. The harder I try, the stranger I feel.
Matthew: It's making you ill. Stop.

Matthew: Well then why didn't he just kill me?
Miriam: He failed to follow orders? You should know by now, with Matthew, actions speak louder than words.

Phoebe: When were you born?
Marcus: Seventeen Fifty-Seven, but Matthew sired me in 1781.

I'm a dad. Bloody hell, I'm a dad.

Nathanial

Marcus: Sorry, but I'm keeping it. I'll be using the Knights to make positive change for all creatures.
Baldwin: The Knights of Lazarus were formed to protect the de Clermont interests. It's not a charity.

A Discovery of Witches Season 2 Quotes

Diana: I always told my students cities of the past would have smelled awful.
Matthew: Trust me, some parts do.
Diana: Not these parts.

Matthew: How am I supposed to protect you if you won't share things with me?
Diana: Alright. Where were you tonight?
Matthew: [seething] I told you. I had people I had to reach out to.
Diana: So it's OK for me to worry about you out there alone, but when I set foot outside-
Matthew: That's different, and you know it!
Diana: Is it? You don't protect me, Matthew. We protect each other. Book or no book, neither of us are getting home unless I find the right teacher. This woman, she is a gift. We should be grabbing it with both hands, not running scared.
Matthew: I've never run scared from anything in my life. I simply won't take risks where your safety is concerned.
Diana: Well, I'm not staying locked up in here. So either you find me that witch, or I will go out there and find her myself.
