those dreary vows that everyone takes / everyone breaks / everyone makes divine mistakes

// "Lance, I've made a mistake"

[sic-vita]

"for what it's worth, I've been in love with you this whole time"

"that I loved you from the moment I saw you, from the moment you spoke, from the moment you sang that stupid song about the weather"

[sic-vita]

"I thought a castle would be a suitable substitute for a home, and mandatory displays of respect would be a suitable substitute for human affection. You were treated like a queen but you were my hostage, Genny what the hell did we think was going to happen?"

"the way to handle a woman; is to love her, simply love her, merely love her"

harmless, convivial joys / where are the simple joys of maidenhood?

often I am told, they dance a fiery dance, and whirl till they're completely uncontrolled

[sic-vita]

To be your ally if you'll take me, your friend who asks not friendship, your defender whose heart is already filled with you, whose body is your sword to brandish, FOR ALL THAT AND MORE I AM

He loves Arthur with everything, and he loves Guinevere with everything but he has no love for himself.

I'm blessed with an iron will, had I been made the partner of Eve, we'd be in Eden still

“He loved Arthur and he loved Guenever and he hated himself. The best knight of the world: everybody envied the self-esteem which must surely be his. But Lancelot never believed he was good or nice."

“The miracle was that he had been allowed to do a miracle. And ever, says Mallory, Sir Lancelot wept, as he had been a child that had been beaten.”

Lance-Guinevere // Arthur-Guinevere

"your husband doesn't think of you as his wife" // "we're business partners"

What are we doing? How do we end up in the same destructive cycles? What are ways that we can actually communicate and give each other space and time and love?”

"That search for love is so necessary and desperate to this plot," says Donica. "And that is to me what this whole show is about. How three people's exploration of love ultimately can bring down an entire kingdom if you let it. Once he's able to express that love even if it's a betrayal of someone else that he loves, he actually is able to grow into his humanity."

[sic-vita]

I loved you once in silence, and misery was all I knew, trying so to keep my love from showing, all the while not knowing if you loved me too

[sic-vita]

proposition: I am not a befuddled king, I'm not a fool. I saw it in their eyes and I felt it when they spoke. If they betray me in their hearts, isn't that sin enough? Am I to be wounded and weakened and not return it in kind?
