I once said to Thomas, a man who reads nothing at all is better educated than a man who reads nothing but newspapers. We had a good laugh about that one.

Ichabod

Open your eyes sir. Yes you! Basket face. I thought only horses slept standing up!!

Ichabod

You and I have very different definitions of old. It seems if a building stays upright for more than a decade, you people declare it a national landmark. This cabin has all the modern means I need. It's certainly preferable to that motel.

Ichabod

For a minute there, I thought you might choose to stay in the colony. But, Crane, believe me when I say you belong in Sleepy Hollow; in the here and now.

Abbie

Are we to understand this book is a key, capable of unleashing these demons into our world?

Ichabod

Flummoxed by a foreign concept that resembles close to nothing of what you know? I can't imagine how that feels.

Ichabod

Ichabod: Facial expressions have changed little, if at all, over the centuries. Were you and Luke formerly betrothed?
Abbie: He's my ex. We weren't betrothed. There was no betrothing.

Abbie: You printed this five times.
Ichabod: Correct.
Abbie: Why?
Ichabod: In case the picture vanishes from the screen like it did a moment ago.

Abbie: The midnight ride. One if by land, two if by sea.
Ichabod: You've heard of it?
Abbie: Word may have gotten around.

Irving: I need to fill out a report. I need to call the Governor.
Ichabod: What are you going to tell him?
Irving: What do you think I'm going to tell him? The Headless Horseman is mowing people down to bring about the end of days? For further questions, call Ichabod Crane, the man who beheaded him in 1781?

Sleepy Hollow Quotes

Abbie: Who is he? When's the last time you saw him?
Ichabod: When I cut off his head.

Police Detective: Do you admit to cutting off his head, yes or no?
Ichabod: Nooo. First I shot him, then he rose back up. Cutting off his head seemed the next logical step.
