I see the world as a place that must be endured, and my personal philosophy is kill or be killed.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
I’m not sure whose twisted idea it was, to put hundreds of adolescents in underfunded schools, run by people whose dreams were crushed years ago. But I admire the sadism.
That boy's family was going to file attempted murder charges. How would that have looked on your record?
Terrible. Everyone would know I failed to get the job done.
Any plans you have of running away end right now, I've alerted all family members to contact me the minute you darken their doorstep, you have no where to go.
As usual, you underestimate me mother, I will escape this educational penitentiary and you will never hear from me again.
You're a brilliant girl Wednesday, but sometimes you get in your own way, I'm sure you'll grow to love Nevermore and find it as life-changing as I did, oh I got you a little something, "W" "M" our initials, it's made off obsidian, which Aztec priests used to conjure visions, it's a symbol of our connection.
Which one of your spirits suggested this toe-curling tchotchke? I’m not you, Mother. I will never fall in love, or be a housewife, or have a family.
I’m told girls your age say hurtful things, and I shouldn’t take it to heart.
Fortunately, you don’t have one.
Finally, a kind word for your mother.
Turn that off. This is your final warning.
Don't mess with me! This kitty's got claws and I'm not afraid to use them.
I see Enid's been giving you the Nevermore welcome.
She's been smothering me with kindness; I plan on returning the favor...in her sleep.
This story is about to take a dark turn. Usually, I love dark turns. Like when the carousel brakes mysteriously failed at my eighth birthday party. But not this one.
I act as if I don't care if people dislike me... Deep down... I secretly enjoy it.
Yes, I know that I am stubborn, obsessive and single-minded. Those are all traits of great writers.
[Thing gesticulates pointedly]
Yes, and serial killers too. What's your point?
Edgar Allan Poe said, “Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see.” Clearly Nevermore’s most famous alumni picked that up here. No wonder he became a drug-addled madman.
Never lose that, Wednesday.
Lose what?
The ability to not let others define you. It’s a gift.
Doesn’t always feel that way.
The most interesting plants grow in the shade.
Let’s assess, shall we? Bag over my head for optimal disorientation, wrists tied tight enough to cut off circulation, and no idea if I’m going to live or die. It’s definitely my kind of party.
[referring to the Nightshades] I’m not interested in joining.
You’re seriously turning us down?
[Deadpan] Can you believe it?
Untie her.
I freed myself five minutes ago.
Secrets are like zombies. They never truly die.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
That’s where you and I differ. Where you see doom, I see opportunity.
