Elijah Mikaelson quotes from The Originals

Elijah

Family is power, Niklaus. Love, loyalty. That's power!

Elijah

(to Hayley) I will always protect you. You have my word on that.

Elijah

It's alright, Davina. I don't mean you any harm. Though I think it's time we had a talk.

Elijah

No one hurts my family and lives. No one.

Elijah

(to Hayley) Do you have any idea how rare love is? In a thousand years I have found it but twice, and when I have, I have honored it.

Elijah

(to Celeste) You’ve poisoned me with a kiss?!? At least you haven’t lost your sense of irony.

Elijah

(to Monique) My siblings have been taken away. Where are they?

Elijah

(to Hayley) I do hope your daughter inherits her mother's, well, everything.

Elijah

(to Klaus) The rifts in this city run far deeper than I even imagined, Niklaus. These tribes, these factions, they're families. Families who choose to fight. Mayhem has descended upon our home, and if I am to choose a side, to our victory, Brother.

Elijah

(anguished, to Klaus about Hayley) Do you understand — I let this person in. I let her in. I don’t let people in. You knew this and you’ve taken her from me. I needed her and you’ve broken me.

Elijah Mikaelson

[to Gia] As a devout feminist, I refuse to say that you hit like a girl.

Elijah Mikaelson

A single violent outburst at a filthy road-side café, and one never hears the end of it.

Rebekah

(caustically) Well, the French Quarter witches are not a lot to be trifled with. You don't suppose they've found a way to kill him once and for all, do you?

Elijah

Rebekah, in the name of our family, you might try to dial down your glee.

Rebekah

What family? We are three distrustful acquaintances who happen to share a bloodline.

Rebekah

Where are you going?

Elijah

(adamant) To find out who's making a move against our brother, and then... I'll either stop them, or I'll help them. Depending on my mood.

Klaus

(without looking) Evening, Elijah.

Elijah

Niklaus.

Klaus

What an entirely unwelcome surprise.

Elijah

And what an entirely unsurprising welcome.
