This can be your entrance. It isn’t easy to find the first time you come.
Children of Time (5x22)
You’re walking down the street and you see a wounded bird in the grass. What’s your first thought? It’s vulnerable. I want to help it. My first thought is also that it’s vulnerable. And yet… I want to crush it. A primal rejection of weakness which is every bit as natural as the nurturing instinct. Of course, I wouldn’t crush it, but my first thought is to do just that.
Ties of Blood and Water (5x19)
You won’t find Hannibal here. There are places on these grounds he cannot safely go. Bad memories.
Freeing yourself from me and… me freeing myself from you, they are the same.
We’re conjoined. I’m curious whether either of us can survive separation.
Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham, Season Three
You’re right. We are just alike.
You’re as alone as I am.
And we’re both alone without each other.
Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham, Season Two
At a time when other men fear their isolation, yours has become understandable to you.
You are alone because you are unique.
I’m as alone as you are.
Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham, Season One
I do feel closer to Hannibal here. God only knows where I’d be without him.
I’m going to remember you walking along the quays of Italy in the sunshine with a trail of signori behind you shouting “Bella, Bella, Bella”…. and I’m going to remember that your hands, that they smelled of thyme when you came in from the garden… and garlic, and onions every time you left the kitchen. I’m going to remember you as beautiful as you are right now.
