Sleepy Hollow quotes

Ichabod Crane

  Recall, if you will, the words of General Washington.

Jenny Mills

  Which one?  Zombie Washington or father of the free world Washington?

Abbie Mills

  You need to have faith.

Jenny Mills

  I have more than faith.  I'm a mental patient with a gun.

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.

Ichabod Crane

  A surprise party.  And why must your era celebrate terror with dessert?

Abbie Mills

  We are talking about Benjamin Franklin?  The editor of the Declaration of Independence?

Ichabod Crane

  Blowhard, braggart, blatherskite, and gasbag.  He had an insatiable need to prove he was the sharpest intellect in the room.

Abbie Mills

  I could see how that would be hard for you.

Ichabod Crane

  My wife is now a captive of the Horseman of Death and the Horseman of War…is my son.

  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…

  We are going to bring some sanity back to this town.

Abbie Mills

  It's nice to know that even a man from the eighteenth century won't ask for help with directions.

Frank Irving

  I used to be just like you.  I thought I had it all figured out.  But then I came to Sleepy Hollow.  And now that I've seen what I've seen, I'm not gonna pretend to be blind again.  The end is near.

Ichabod Crane

[after seeing two men holding hands] Is that considered acceptable now?

Abbie Mills

Oh! Lots of attitudes have changed since your days. Not everyone's, but Supreme Court has upheld the Constitutional right of same-sex couples, and more and more states are even legalizing gay marriage.

Ichabod Crane

I meant gentlemen wearing hats indoors. I know about homosexuals, thank you, I trained under Baron von Steuben. His affections for his own sex were well known. Also, I watched the finale of Glee.

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.
