It would be a relief to find out that I'm like her. It would explain why I haven't been able to feel my life.

Julie

Adam: What happened?
Lena: I did something unforgivable too. I think that's why this is happening to me. I should be dead.
Adam: Me too. But we're not, we're here. Maybe it's not too late to be different.

What if Lena's right? What if Camille isn't who she used to be?

Claire

She wants me dead like her.

Lena

[to Victor] I went for a walk this morning, and I saw something, and I realized it's not us that's the problem, it's this place. This town is cursed. You think about it; What happened to you, your mother, the flood, this lunatic running around eating women's stomachs. Only in an ungodly place like this can you and I exist.

Helen

Simon: I'm starting to think maybe it had to be this way for a reason. Rowan and I were meant to be together. Nothing can stop that.
Camille: Love is stronger than death.

Dead people got to stick together, right?

Camille

Tommy: I know how much you loved him, and seeing him again, I can't imagine how confusing that is. So what happened between you two, I get it. I can move past it. I want to move past it, but you need to listen to me. Simon being back, it isn't right.
Rowan: But he's here.
Tommy: He shouldn't be. I don't know what brought him back, but whatever he is now is dangerous, and a part of you has to feel that.

Adam: You said I was sick, but you never said with what.
Tony: You know what you were sick with.

Rowan: You made a decision that changed the course of my whole damn life, and I didn't even know you.
Tommy: I loved you the minute I saw you.

Leon: Lazarus' sisters begged Christ to bring him back.
Helen: And that is my point. He shouldn't have listened. The finality is for a reason, Pastor. Don't you think? I mean, to just go on and on and we... oh that would be excruciating. How do you organize a life with no death to define it?

Helen: I heard your sermon. You seem like a nice man. Why would you lie to all those people, promising them an afterlife you can't possibly know exists?
Leon: And you can't know it doesn't.
Helen: Oh yeah, wanna bet?
Leon: Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen.

The Returned Season 1 Quotes

Camille, don't worry. What's happened to you is extraordinary and wonderful. Just give yourself some time to process it. To just be back, and accept everything that's happened, and when you're ready to talk, I'm available anytime.

Peter

Jack: It's just not possible.
Claire: No, it's not, but you just saw her.
Jack: But there has to be some other explanation.
Claire: Like what? We're both going crazy at the same time?
