Quotes 

• King Haggard : I like to watch them. They fill me with joy. The first I felt it I thought I was going to die. I said to the Red Bull I must have them, all of them, all there are. For nothing makes me happy but their shining and their grace. So the Red Bull caught them. Each time I see the unicorns, my unicorns, it is like that morning in the woods and I am truly young, in spite of myself.

• King Haggard : [the castle is crumbling and Haggard is about to fall to his death]  The last! I knew you were the last!

• Amalthea : [turns at Haggard's approach]  Don't!

  Haggard : What are you looking at?

  Amalthea : The sea.

  Haggard : Ah yes, the sea is always good. There is nothing I can look at for very long, except the sea.

• King Haggard : I know you! I almost knew you as soon as I saw you on the road coming to my door. Since then, there is no movement of yours that has not betrayed you! A pace, a glance, a turn of the head, the flash of your throat as you breathe... even your way of standing perfectly still - they were all my spies!

• Haggard : Love is slowing you down, my lady. I will catch you at last, if you love much more.

• King Haggard : You are losing my interest, and that is very dangerous.

• Haggard : What is the matter with your eyes? Why can I not see myself, in your eyes?

• Haggard : You may come and go as you please. My secrets guard themselves. Will yours do the same?

• King Haggard : A master magician has not made me happy. I will see what an incompetent one can do.

• King Haggard : Each time I see the unicorns, MY unicorns, it is like that morning in the woods, and I am truly young, in spite of myself!
