Hershel Greene quotes from The Walking Dead

Hershel Greene

[to Rick] My father didn't bother with comforting lies. He used his fist. He was a loveless, violent drunk and no good to anybody. He drove me from home when I was 15. Didn't lay eyes on this place again for many years. I was not at his deathbed, Rick. I would not grant him that and to this day do not regret it. Some men do not earn the love of their sons. I don't see you having that problem.

Hershel Greene

[to Rick] You people are like a plague! I do the Christian thing, give you shelter, and you destroy it all!

Hershel Greene

You want me to cover Glenn?

Hershel Greene

Nah, I can shoot. Just don't like to.

Hershel Greene

I can't profess to understand God's plan. Christ promised a resurrection of the dead. I just assumed he had something a little different in mind.

Hershel Greene

You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. And nowadays you breathe, and you risk your life. Every moment now you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for. Now I can make these people feel better and hang on a little bit longer. I can save lives. That's reason enough to risk mine. And you know that.

Merle Dixon

You're the farmer, Hershel.

Hershel Greene

And you're the black sheep, Merle.

Hershel Greene

We just went through something terrible. Everything we've been working so hard to keep out, it found its way in.

No. It's always there.

Daryl Dixon

I'm gonna take a group out. Best not waste any more time.

Michonne

I'm in.

Hershel Greene

You've haven't been exposed. Daryl has. You get in the car with him...

Michonne

He's already given me fleas.

Hershel Greene

Some council meeting, huh?

We're two members short.

Hershel Greene

I think we should make some new rules before they get back. I hereby declare we have spaghetti Tuesdays every Wednesday. First we have to find some spaghetti.

Tyreese

How's Glenn doing?

Hershel Greene

He made it through the night. He's breathing on his own now. Maggie and Bob are with him. He seems stable enough for me to get some air.

Daryl Dixon

He's a tough son of a bitch.

Hershel Greene

He is.

Daryl Dixon

You're a tough son of a bitch.

Hershel Greene

I am.

Hershel Greene

If you understand what it's like to have a daughter, then how can you threaten to kill someone else's?

Because they aren't mine.
