If there's a war going on, I want to be on the winning side.

(about the sacrificed vampires) Back in the day, the witches wanted to send a threat, they'd just kill a chicken and leave it on your doorstep.
That's a rather large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say?

(to Elijah) What a horrific ending to your pathetic, diseased family. I guess always isn’t forever after all.
(to Celeste) You’ve poisoned me with a kiss?!? At least you haven’t lost your sense of irony.
(to Hayley) I got to keep my eye on you, precious cargo and all.
Don't dismember the messenger.
(to a scared Rebekah) Are we skipping the part where you beg for mercy? For forgiveness? Because I was really looking forward to that.
(to Monique) My siblings have been taken away. Where are they?

Aunt Sophie was a casualty of war.
(about the sick patients) If this entire lot dies, who will be left to eat?
They're putting eyes and ears out everywhere, daywalkers are working every contact we got, cops, dockworkers, guys in the Treme, the word is out, anyone trying to earn favor with me gets a lifetime levity if they find them.
Good, I need a pen and paper.
Hey, am I taking orders from you now or are we in this together?
Pen and paper Marcel, now.
Look, I want her back just as much as you do you know, both of them.
(to Rebekah) One little spell then we can finally be together for real, what are you waiting for?
You're a lucky man. Men search the world over for a woman like her.
Well, she's taken, friend.
Oh, I can see that. It's just that she reminds me so much of my departed wife as a girl. See, I've been traveling for such a long time that it's a blessing to see a familiar soul so far from home.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Here's to old faces in new places. I've been in New Orleans for a day, and I find it to be quite surprising. Had I known of its charm and fascinating denizens, I would have come ages ago. Don't supposed I have to thank you for extending this invitation.
Who are you ?
Oh, you're a smart man. I think you know. I'm an intelligent man myself, so have a seat. Let me tell you what I learned about you this afternoon, Marcel Gerard. You chafe under the control of my son Niklaus and would do just about anything to get rid if him, even call the one man on this earth who hates him more than you do, but I couldn't understand what you hoped to gain. Rule of this city? Well, as I said, New Orleans has its charms, but to call me? The one they call 'The Destroyer', the one who's burnt cities far more charming to the ground in pursuit of his children? But now I see. You did it for love, the love of my daughter.
Don't you dare touch her.
Mm, so I'm going to make you a promise. I won't hurt Rebekah. Truth be told, she was always my favorite. And this city, you can have it, but first...you must tell me where to find my son.
You came back.
I always come back.
(to Klaus, about Rebekah) I weighed the good I see in you versus the horrible things I know you've done. And I realized if I hurt you, I'd be filled with a terrible regret. You will too, if you hurt your sister. Your sister, Klaus! As someone who has lost a sibling, who has felt that pain, you won't survive if it you kill her.
