"It's strange, but when the pain was most severe and most unbearable, it's then when it suddenly stopped. But before it did, I was no more than a moment away from death. I could feel it and smell it. I could almost hear death whispering to me, telling me that my time had come."

"Reverend Trask. In your zealous pursuit of non-existent witches, perhaps it has escaped your memory that we have just fought a war recently. A war to establish certain rights.

"Those strange words I heard you say. 'Heart of fire burns in the heart of ice.' Why did you lie to me? It's possible that - no, I can't believe that, not my wife. A strange girl who says she's from another time, I can believe it about her. A witch, yes. But my wife. Oh, not my wife."

You're ghost is still walking the night searching rest. At least you have the hope for it. I do not. What have I become? How can I do things I do? Shall eternity be like this? Is there no escape?"
"Live. What a mockery I make of that word. For I am dead and nothing lives except the hatred inside me."
"Some men live their lives terrified, terrified of the night and all that is dark. I will live my life eternally in fear of the light of day."
"Jeremiah, I'm glad you cannot see me now. Even you would not have wished this on me. Now Josette will lie beside you, the husband she did not love. And you will be together as you were never in life. Again, her choice was not her own. And again, Angelique has made you win."
"Why should anyone live when she is dead? They all feared the plague. Well, I will visit them with a pestilence that will leave them nothing but the wish for a sudden and speedy death."
