What are your favorite quotes from mc and mck?

oh this is so difficult, there are so many episodes and having to read translations makes it kinda hard to remember actual quotes

here and here i’ve listed my favourite scenes, if you’re curious :D

magnificent century:

hurrem: do not mistake me for someone else, my name is hurrem. i am faithful and loyal to the sultan, and as long as he breathes, the sole owner of the throne is sultan suleyman khan. even if it were one of my sons trying to take the throne, they couldn’t do so without walking over my dead body.

hurrem: i am fighting to stay alive, my sultana. since i’ve come here this is the only thing i have been doing. if i bent my head only for a moment, i would find myself at the bottom of the bosphorus.

hurrem: i too have memories and none of them are as lovely as yours. i was 17 years old when they killed my father, my mother and my sister. i was taken from my family and my home and sold as a slave. you have lived in the avratpazari neighbourhood for so many years, i am sure you have seen a lot of women crying. i was like them; i didn’t know where i would wake up the next day. but they brought me to the palace, and that morning i woke up to the sound of a snow-white pigeon. it was hurt, all alone, just like me. i took it in my hands and kissed it, and i prayed. i prayed that, just like the pigeon, i would fly away and go back home. but i didn’t realise allah had accepted my prayers, because he made the palace my home. i was lucky, because allah blessed me with our sultan’s love and he made me a sultana.

hurrem: i want you to know that everything i do is for your future and your brothers’.

mahidevran, about mihrimah: her tongue is as sharp as her mother’s

mahidevran, about selim: he is like his mother

hurrem: what is a harem? i will rule the world

selim: i’m not addicted to wine, i’m addicted to you

nurbanu: this palace, the rooms of the valide sultan... everything will be mine. the world will change and my time will come.

magnificent century: kosem:

safiye, about nurbanu: i was the head haseki, she did everything to make life miserable for me. then the ring passed to me. the eras changed.

safiye: “A woman fits in many titles and roles in her lifetime. She is someone else at each stage of her lifetime. She is a child. A woman. A mother. If she’s a smart and blessed subject of God she could even become a Sultana. What matters is which title and role you see fit for yourself.”

kosem: i took over this sultanate from your late father. i've died and burned so many times to protect you and your brothers. without me neither the dynasty nor the state would exist now! Now you come here and tell me about the future of the state! What you call "the state" is me... me!

gevherhan to atike: i was never happy, i hope you will be

gevherhan: i’m not strong like you, mother // kosem: you will be, you are my daughter

handan: what do i need the state for if my son dies? what do i need this world for?

handan: I am a sultana; forever in a cage. I am a prisoner.

handan: if ahmed dies, then the whole world can burn for all i care

anastasia: i was a sehzade’s dream

dervish to ahmed: you are the day, we are the night. you are water and we are the barren soil. you are a lion, we are lambs. what i mean to say, your majesty, is now it’s the time to shine like the sun, to cascade like a river, and to roar like a lion

safiye to ahmed: this is your dawn. this breaking day is your day. from now on, the blessed throne of the supreme ottoman dynasty is yours.

i’m sure i forgot a lot but at the moment i can’t remember more, sorry!!
