Movie quotes

  • (..) one has come of age, fairer even than you. She is the reason your powers vain. - Who is it? - Snow White? Snow White? She is my undoing? - I should have killed her when she was a child. - Be warned, her innocence and purity is all that can destroy you. But she is also your salvation, queen. (..)
