Mary Stuart quotes from Reign

Queen Mary

If you treat people as your enemy, that is what they become.

Queen Mary

Unfortunately, my husband isn't giving me what I want. So I've come to ask you instead.

Queen Mary

You are not the man I fell in love with. And you are not the king I want to rule beside.

Queen Mary

You did this to us. To France. For all that you claim you are trying to protect us, I have lost all faith in you. And the man I thought you were.

Queen Mary

They say that marriage is like a promise, and it is that. But the best ones are based on certainty. An inexplicable faith in someone else.

Queen Mary

My loyal subjects. I reassure you, that your King, and your Queen, remain untouched. These murderous traitors who invaded the castle tonight have achieved nothing. Have altered nothing. And will die, for nothing.

Queen Mary

You will be hanged for what you did to me. You will suffer and die, and I will live. In a hundred years, as queen, I will be remembered, and your name will be forgotten. You'll see that you are erased from history. And God have mercy on your soul.

Queen Mary

Kill them, and let them burn with their sins.

Queen Mary

How do we know what's normal? All I have to go on is Catherine. If there are any other noble woman who have been... Well, they're keeping it to themselves. As am I. All of us, alone.

Queen Mary

None of us are responsible for our hearts, only our actions.

Queen Mary

Ah, embezzlement. Excellent choice!

Queen Mary

Oh, is that caring? It sounds like a man trying to tighten his grip on a woman. You'll understand if I don't stay to hear more.

Queen Mary

I am more than a marker to hold an alliance, or a breeder for the next generation or the next. I am my own person. A woman grown, and tonight I realize that I am utterly and completely alone. But when I look at you, I feel I am better for it.

Queen Mary

Lay down your burdens, Mother, so I am no longer your worry.

Queen Mary

Since I was a babe, I have been a queen. Since a child, I have been alone on foreign soil. I know how to keep my life, and my crown, and I will.
