Share this quote on facebook Morgana: [to Merlin] You fool! You thought you would trap me. You are trapped yourself, by the same sorcery you used to deceive my mother. You're nothing. You're not a god, you're not a man. I shall find a man, and give birth to a god.

Share this quote on facebook Uther: Where have you been?
Merlin: I have walked my way since the beginning of time. Sometimes I give, sometimes I take - it is mine to know which and when.
Uther: You must help me, Merlin!
Merlin: Must I?
Uther: I am your king!
Merlin: So you need me again, now that my truce is wrecked. Years to build and moments to ruin, and all for lust!
Uther: For Igrayne! One night with her. You don't understand, you're not a man. Use the magic. Do it!
Merlin: [considering] Igrayne... You will swear, by your true Kingship, to grant me what I wish. Then you shall have it.
Uther: [kneeling] By Excalibur, I swear it!
Merlin: What issues from your lust, shall be mine. Swear it again!
Uther: I SWEAR IT!

Share this quote on facebook Arthur: [holding Sir Uryens at swordpoint, during the siege of Leondegrance's castle] Swear faith to me, and you shall have mercy! I need battle lords such as you.
Uryens: [sarcastically] A noble knight, swear faith to a squire?
Lot: Never! Never!
Arthur: You're right. I'm not yet a knight. You, Uryens, will knight me. Then, as knight to knight, I can offer you mercy. [hands the sword Excalibur to a shocked Uryens, kneeling before him]
Merlin: [astonished] What's this? What's this?
Lot: Keep it, Uryens!
Uryens: [after struggling with his thoughts for several seconds] ...in the name of God, Saint Michael, and Saint George...I give you the right to bear arms, and the power to mete justice.
Arthur: That duty, I will solemnly obey...as knight...and king.
Merlin: [still astonished] I never saw this!
Uryens: Rise, King Arthur. [kneeling, as do all the other knights] I am your humble knight...and I swear allegiance to the courage in your veins. So strong it is, its' source must be Uther Pendragon. I doubt you no more. [kisses Arthur's hands]

Share this quote on facebook Arthur: For years, peace has reigned in the land. Crops grow in abundance, there is no want. Every one of my subjects enjoys his portion of happiness and justice. Tell me, Merlin, have we defeated evil? Because it seems we have.
Merlin: Good and evil — there never is one without the other.
Arthur: Where hides evil, then, in my kingdom?
Merlin: Always... where you never expect it. Always.

Share this quote on facebook Perceval: You and the land are one. Drink. [holds the Holy Grail to King Arthur's lips]
Arthur: [listlessly] I am wasting away. I cannot die...and I cannot live.
Perceval: Drink from the chalice. You will be reborn, and the land with you.
[Arthur sips from the Grail]
Arthur: [becoming quickly revived] Perceval. I didn't know how empty was my soul...until it was filled.
