- Merlin: It's... lonely. To be more powerful than any man you know, and have to live like a shadow. To be special, and have to pretend you're a fool. I know how it feels, I... understand.
- Uther Pendragon: When I was your age, I conquered Camelot. I didn't inherit this kingdom, I won it. One day you'll be strong enough to take my crown - but not yet.
- The Dragon: To see one of your own kin die is never an easy thing, but all great struggles demand sacrifice.
