You are a hero who helped your people. You’re a beautiful woman who loved an ugly man - really, really loved me. You find goodness in others, and when it’s not there, you create it. You make me want to go back, back to the best version of me, and that never happened before. So when you look in the mirror and you don’t know who you are, that’s who you are.
I want to make them bow. I want their kneecaps to crack and freeze on the stones. I want their necks to break from bending.
You truly are the only one in all the realms who believes in me.
You know, there’s not a ton about my father that I remember that doesn’t suck. But he used to tell me that there are no coincidences.

I sort of found someone in myself that was more than I expected.
I’m done reading about heroes. I want to be one.
Believing won’t stop the future. Maybe not. But it gave me a family. It made me a mother. I have actual magic in my life. I have you. If I could go back, I wouldn’t change a thing.
It's not fair, Robin. Our story was so short. Doesn't make it any less epic.
Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a very powerful thing. ★ ONCE UPON A TIME

GOTHEL, SEASON 7 Don't be a fool. Join your mother and defend your home.
ELLA MILLS, SEASON 7 She has this idea that I’m some hero that always does the right thing. But I’m not, you know? I’m just human, and I just want my kid back. How can that be wrong?
ALICE JONES, SEASON 7 They all know my name now. I think it’s because I’m talking to them instead of stealing anything without anyone seeing me.
