Lord Narcisse quotes from Reign

A new king needs to know who his real friends are.

We are the outside world and we surround you.

If the people learn that you killed your father, they will never believe your queen didn't know it. Your heads will be on two pikes side by side. I know you're both very romantic, but I doubt this is the future together you had in mind.

The beginning is often promising. The trick is to keep it going that way.

You asked me what it was about baths that I liked. I suppose it's the vulnerability. The sense of comfort one feels, covered, embraced, when in fact, one is quite exposed.

Fruit often tastes sweeter when it's forbidden.

If you want something to die for, I can give it to you.

What happened tonight was reckless. It was the act of a people who feel that they have nothing to lose. To rob people of hope is a dangerous mistake, and I suspect it may have been my doing... I feel this nation is burning and I am the man who lit the match.

It is a new France, and I shall be loyal to you, I swear.

There are those who merely believe they have power, and there are those who actually have it.

What a king won't stoop to grasp, his subjects must offer.

Careful, Lady Lola. Tongues less discreet than my own will wag.

Do you think, because we shared a few nice moments, that you saw some good in me that no one else had ever seen before?

Give up this idea that nobody can know you and still love you.

Should anything happen to either of us, I hope that you will remember me not as the man who lied, who betrayed you. I hope you will remember me as the man who would have cherished you, if he had had the chance.
