Henry Parish quotes from Sleepy Hollow

Henry Parish

  Imagine you had a pair of glasses into their hearts.  Seen what they've done.  The parts that are locked down so deep, even they're afraid to see.  But, you see them and you carried them.  Until the only person you can't see anymore…is yourself.  If I didn't stop, I would have disappeared completely.

Henry Parish

  It seems we've been relegated to the part of 'gongoozler', you and I.

Henry Parish

  I can cross 'fighting a dæmon' from my bucket list.

  Ichabod has become the Horseman of War, hasn't he?  Huh.  Like father, like son.  Or, is it the other way around?

Ichabod Crane

  I trusted you!

  You needed faith, my dear Ichabod, and I gave it to you, both of you, in your desire to be reunited—and to Abigail, who so desperately needs to believe there's a purpose to her pain. See, faith is a pillar of human nature.  The belief that all will end well if we just cling onto it with all our might.  And it is what blinds us to what's right in front of us all along.

  Now you'll know what it is to lose faith.  When it's gone, you have nothing.  And when you have nothing, there's nothing holding you back from what you're capable of.

  War isn't coming to Sleepy Hollow.  It's been waiting here all along.

  These plants have no idea their sunlight isn't real, yet they bloom, nonetheless.  A testament to the fact that anything can be tricked into believing a lie.

  War is hell…

Why are you only telling me now of this current plan?

It's not my job to indulge your needs.

Katrina was correct to ask why I am confined here. Yet you come and go freely, plotting our future from the comfort of your family home.

If you have grievances with our leader's strategy, by all means, raise them with Moloch.

Your son's a lawyer. You must be very proud.

Ichabod Crane

To begin, let us agree that through neither your fault nor mine, I was not the most involved father.

Oh, my. Is this to be an attempt to start over? Are you going to take me down to the fishing hole?

Ichabod Crane

I'm afraid, sadly, you underestimate the good in people.

"Afraid"? You haven't begun to know fear. Or sadness. I'm glad you survived that box I put you in, so that you, too, can witness first hand people's true nature. Well, if you ever need an attorney, look me up. I'm building quite a client list, but I can always make room for family.

I've never lied to you, Captain.

Frank Irving

A lie of omission is still a lie. You are the biblical Horseman of War. You didn't think that was relevant?

The signs were all there. You chose to look the other way. People usually do when it suits.

I relish any chance to cause my parents pain.
