Dr. Henry Goodsir quotes from The Terror

Henry Goodsir

I don't know what's happening here. I truly don't. This is not how Englishmen act. I, I don't recognize this behavior.

Henry Goodsir

Do you know sometimes when people are near passing I've heard they speak of a radiance like a million daybreaks all in one. In which loved ones are there to welcome them over.

We grew up at the Foundlings. I never knew me father or me mum.

Henry Goodsir

Then... Then there will be the angels with songs lovelier than you've heard.

Will I fly? Up to God?

Henry Goodsir

Yes. You... You'll see the Passage first, then, as you go. Try... Try to call back and let us know where it is.

I wanted to be 'ere when we found it.

Henry Goodsir

Do not fear it, David. I, I have been there when souls have passed. A great peace descends.

This place make you uneasy, Doctor?

Henry Goodsir

You call me doctor, but technically I'm just a surgeon. Anatomist, in fact.

That's a doctor in my book.

Henry Goodsir

Captain's leaving the decision to you, in case I'd be too missed.

I really wouldn't worry yourself there. Fine. Go with the girl. And don't forget to invite us all to the wedding.

Henry Goodsir

Has anyone ever invited you to a wedding, Dr. Stanley?

Henry Goodsir

You've murdered this man whom you now wish to eat, and you're unwilling to butcher his flesh yourself? But you will have to.

Cornelius Hickey

We do not know which parts -

Henry Goodsir

Yes, you do. Of course you do. If I'm reading right your accent, Mr. Hickey, you grew up in a home where you would have to use every part of any meat or fowl your mam could procure. So if you want to eat your friend, you're going to have to cut into him yourself. Do not ask me again.

Francis Crozier

Even if God is seeing every last thing we do here, you have nothing to fear. Not you. You're clean, Goodsir. Clean. Even as your hand is forced by swine.

Henry Goodsir

Is God here, Captain? Any God? It doesn't matter. This place is beautiful to me, even now. To see it, with eyes as a child's. There is wonder here, Captain.
