Quotes 

• Nora Gainesborough : I've ordered translations of the Book of Lilith in 70 languages. Every new vampire should be required to learn it.

  Eric Northman : Well, the old vampires should as well. We want everyone to accept Lilith, don't we?

  Russell Edgington : Are we seriously sitting here discussing education reform? Are we vampires or schoolmarms?

• Russell Edgington : How do you propose we seize our rightful place in the hierarchy of beings when we're helpless as hamsters for 12 hours out of the day?

  Kibwe : That is the way we were created.

  Russell Edgington : But it's not how we have to remain. The legends are true. The blood of the fae allows us to daywalk. Compton, Northman, you've both drunk from the same faerie I have.

  Eric Northman : You know it lasts a few minutes at most before you fry.

  Russell Edgington : The Wright Brothers' first flight lasted 12 seconds. Did they turn to each other and say, "12 seconds is pretty good. Let's give up and try something else"? We harness the blood. We study it. We capture another faerie, even, and breed them. If the Japanese can synthesize human blood, why can't we do the same thing with faerie blood?

  Salome Agrippa : Because we are of the night. The sun is forbidden to us. Fairies are an abomination.

  Russell Edgington : Their blood is like sucking on heaven. You know what I wish? I wish that I had just one drop of faerie blood to stuff in your piehole.

  Salome Agrippa : I saved you, Russell. I can put you back in the ground.

  [Russel puts her in a choke hold. Bill and Eric draw fangs] 

  Russell Edgington : Oh, please. Give me an excuse to kill the both of you. Or, hell, why not all of you? I am 3,000 years old. I am stronger than all of you combined. How long did you think I would be your lapdog? I offered you the opportunity to share in the greatest advancement in the history of our race, and the small-mindedness of your religion has literally kept you in the dark! You can have your Lilith. I will not be constrained by your god or anyone else's. I will have the sun!
