We have a blood-raged killer on our hands, and you're worried about fucking demons.

Baldwin

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

Nathanial

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

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.

I actually understand now why Philippe was always so disappointed in you.

Marcus

Miriam: You can't deny what you are, Marcus.
Marcus: Yeah, well, apparently, I've been doing that my whole life.

Matthew: So you are a prisoner. Has the emporer lost patience with your empty promises?
Edward: You know nothing of my work!
Matthew: I know you stole the book.
Edward: No. The book is mine. It speaks to me. It screams! You have no claim! It begins with absence and desire.
It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches!

A witch, a vampire, and a Jew meeting in secret. It will set Christian tongues wagging for miles around.

Rabbi Lowe

Rudolf: If I did have this book, why would I give it to you, a prying English spy and charlatan? [Diana turns a decorated snake on a glass to a real snake]
Diana: I am no charlatan.
Rudolf: You are magnificent! Anything you want. Anything!
Diana: Show me the book.

This book is made from the skin of creatures. Witches, demons, vampires. The ink is made from our blood, the pages are bound together with our hair! I'm sorry, Diana, but this is more like a book of death.

Matthew

Matthew: You've never seen what it makes me do.
Diana: You won't hurt me.
Matthew: No! Not you, for you! I would wade through the blood of kings, queens, and emperors. I would stop at nothing to prevent that from happening to you.

Matthew: I didn't like the way he looked at you like a jewel he wanted to add to his collection.
Diana: Oh, I can handle a little clumsy flirting if it gets us closer to the book.

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.
