Season 1 Quotes

01x08 - Episode Eight Season 1 / Episode 8: - Episode Eight

Victoria Winters: [writing] I feel the walls shrink around me. Have I revealed too much? But how could I not, if only the family history were wrong, if Josette and Jeremiah could be stopped? Perhaps that is what I am meant to do. But if one moment of history is changed, how much else changes with it? And will I then be permanently trapped in this time?
01x01 - Episode One (Pilot) Season 1 / Episode 1: - Episode One (Pilot)

Victoria Winters: My name is Victoria Winters. My journey is just the beginning. A journey that I am hoping will somehow begin to reveal the mysteries of my past. It is a journey that will bring me to a strange and dark place... to a house high atop a stormy cliff at the edge of the sea... to a house called Collinwood. To a world I've never known, with people I've never met... people who tonight are only vague shadows in my mind, but who will soon fill all the days and nights of my tomorrows.
