She's paranoid, obsessed with power. She hungers constantly for what's been denied her, be it love or revenge.
[looking at Klaus] Yes. I think I'm familiar with the type.

You've already taken everything from me. I will not follow you into this madness.
Don't be stupid. I'm offering you eternal life. We will sleep for a century and wake with a power unlike any that's ever been seen. It's what we wanted.
What you wanted. Please do not bind me with this curse.
Ungrateful child, you will thank me for this in one century or the next!
Being Alpha's an honor, you know. It's one you have to earn every day.
Vincent Griffith. I would say, "at your service," but, uh, that implies I had a choice in the matter.
Oh, he's witty. Wonderful. Now I hear you have some information for me.
Just... give me a second. [stares at Rebekka and chuckles] When they put Eva in the Falling Cottage I never thought I'd see her again.
How is it, exactly, that you knew Ms Sinclair?
She was my wife.
Well, that is bloody fantastic.
A little early, isn't it?
You know why I'm sitting here day drinking in the corner all by lonesome? No? Because I'm pretty much done and through with the vamps, wolves, and witches of this town, and from some of the looks I've been getting, they're through with me, too, so if I sit in here, they don't see me, and if I drink...after a while, I don't see them either.
We came here to honor the alliance between us. If this is something you wish to rescind, so be it.

Don't you dare walk into my house and threaten me. I am not the one that needs you, Elijah Mikaelson. It is you who needs us, or you will soon enough. There's a storm coming, Cherie, and your darkest demons ride upon it. I do not know its name, but when I peer into your future, there is a blackness That should terrify you.
[to Klaus] For an upgraded model, you're not very sharp.
We are a macabre echo of a family, and I take all the blame for that.
[to Eva] Is that what you think heartache feel like, Eva? Oh, you got no idea. I wanted to rip my own heart out every time I woke so I couldn't feel what you did to me, that bone-deep hurt knowing that I could not save them kids from you, the woman I loved more than my own life.
There's a saying in my family. "Kill a demon today, face the devil tomorrow", yet even as you dance on that demon's grave, you can't help but wonder was that demon alone? Or do you have other, deadlier ones to fight?
Your mind always drifts to violence, doesn't it, even when you're so clearly outmatched. What was it you tried teaching us? Ah, yes, £the true viking warrior hones his fear like a blade"!
Did you come here to critique my parenting skills or to whine about how little you were loved? You were weak before, but you are weaker still. If you truly thought me weak, you would snatch this weapon from my hand, but you don't because you know better.
Hmm, how convenient that I find you here, mere footsteps from that which is owed to me. Let me guess. Did you make a promise to your wretched siblings "Together, we'll fight the wicked witch side by side?" Ha ha! Tell me, darling, how did they respond to your overtures? Did they welcome you with open arms and weep tears of joy at your miraculous return? Hmm?
What are you going to do to me?
You always were a selfish, ungrateful child. For centuries, I fed you, clothed you, and cared for you, granted you powers beyond anything you could have ever dreamed, and still, you yearn for more, always wishing for another life, never satisfied. Soon enough, you will beg for me to bring you back into my home. After all, once I am done with these poor souls, I'll be the only family you have left. You should know better than to defy me, a lesson your father and brother will learn shortly.
Davina, whatever you may think of me, I am a man of my word.
Actually, he's a liar, a beast, and a degenerate, but in this exceptional instance, he may be of some use.
You just wouldn't be you if you didn't have a knife, would you?
Well, perhaps you can steal it later and dull its blade with your art.
Betrayal is in your nature, boy.
No. I wasn't born like this. Her, you fight for. Lovely Freya, the daughter you barely know. Yet there was a time when you knew me as your son, a time before all the disappointments, the revelations of betrayal. There were moments when all you had to do was be my father, and even then, you despised me, didn't you? I want to know why.
I don't know. I just did.
Are those your final words?
[looking at Freya] Freya, I'm so sorry. I love you.
