Doctor Helen Magnus quotes from Sanctuary

Helen Magnus

I recommend you get yourself to one of the safe-houses. Things are going to get very un-sanctuary-like around here.

Helen Magnus

[to the Big Guy] The others may question your choices, your beliefs. I don't. We've known each other too long. We've always understood the need for space, freedom to live as we want. It's the very thing that defines us. Once we let go of who we are, what we believe to be true, who the hell are we, for God's sake? Chattel for the fates like everyone else. I've always held that despite how complex this world is, compromise is for the weak. And the cost of that weakness is too high a price, no matter how dire the circumstances. Truth is, I've been wrong all along. [puts the antidote within his reach] I won't be visiting again.

Helen Magnus

Do you remember when you were small? You used to come into my room in the middle of the night. You'd crawl into my arms and you'd say, "Mummy, I'm afraid." [sets the weapon aside, crying] Ashley, I'm afraid.

Helen Magnus

Before you go knocking another hole in my wall know this; you are free to leave whenever you like.

Helen Magnus

More fun and games?

Helen Magnus

I'm Helen. Proper etiquette would be to offer your name in return.

Helen Magnus

It may be a shambles, but this is still my house.

Helen Magnus

[seeing the squid surfacing] Hello, beastie.

Helen Magnus

Never let it be said that I don't know how to show someone a good time.

Helen Magnus

Let me make one thing perfectly clear; if you have touched so much as one hair on Will Zimmerman's head, there is not enough real estate on this Earth to keep you safe from me.

Helen Magnus

This is Whitechapel all over again.

Helen Magnus

All of you, knock out your security cameras as... politely as possible.

Helen Magnus

The truth is, I broke the rules that I myself set into place. I knew it would come back and haunt me sooner or later.

Helen Magnus

It was my choice not to kill her. If I thought it would be popular I wouldn't have kept it secret.

Helen Magnus

This is not a social call.
