Professor Annalise Keating quotes from How to Get Away With Murder

Imagine your parents are the sick ones and you're the one that gets thrown out with the trash. I'd have killed them, too. Good luck in getting the jury to believe the inbred weirdo didn't do it.

I never wanted children. Never even crossed my mind till I turned your age, and everyone asking, "When? Why not? You'll feel different when the baby's in your hands. It's the greatest experience of your life." Now I have five of them, and I know... it's the worst experience of my life.

Congratulations. You've each been hand-chosen to take part in my very first criminal law legal clinic. In here you're not just student, but actual practicing lawyers responsible for your own cases and clients. You finally get to be me.

And I wake up every day knowing that a young man with so much potential, who needed me the most, died because I decided to take a drink.

That's what always made you a bad lawyer.

You're going it again: looking for a mommy everywhere you go. Me, Tegan, whatever woman you encounter next... You want us all to be the mother yours never was.

Annalise

Because you came here instead.

Annalise

You don't need me. You don't. And maybe you never did. You're wrong. I never saw you as nothing. You were never trash in my eyes. And now look at what you've done. Look at what you've done!

Annalise

I was drowning in other people's needs for years- clients, my students. Them leaving me alone was a dream come true.

Annalise

I can't do this anymore. I can't keep forgiving you for all the horrible, sick things that you do. And the only reason I did it before was because I knew you'd survived hell, like me, but no more.
