Quotes 

• [young Snow has reprimanded servant Johanna for a breach of etiquette, to the displeasure of her mother] 

  Queen Eva : I thought I raised you better than that, Snow. It doesn't matter whether one is a servant or royalty. Everyone in the kingdom deserves our love and respect.

  Young Snow White : But she took my tiara...

  Queen Eva : She apologized. And it isn't yours yet. -... - My dear, we are all the same.

  Young Snow White : But I thought we were royals.

  Queen Eva : We are. But that doesn't make us better than anyone else. The upcoming ball, for instance. Can you tell me what it's for?

  Young Snow White : It's to honor me, on my birthday.

  Queen Eva : No. It's for you to honor them, by showing them you'll be a kind and benevolent leader when that time comes.

  [she asks Johanna to hand her Snow's tiara] 

  Queen Eva : When you're crowned with this, on your birthday, it'll be a symbol that you will always hold goodness in your heart, and rule justly. Now do you understand?

  Young Snow White : I do, Mother.

• Young Snow White : Please... don't leave me.

  Queen Eva : As long as you hold the spirit of goodness in your heart, I shall never leave you.

  [she dies] 

• Young Snow White : I went to the Blue Fairy, and begged her to help, to save you with magic. But what she gave me? It... it was dark magic - a candle that could restore your life... by taking away someone else's. It was the only way. But I couldn't do it. I'm sorry. I could've healed you. But I was too afraid.

  [she sobs] 

  Queen Eva : Snow, that wasn't fear. That was strength. Strength... to resist darkness. I am so proud of you.

• Blue Fairy : To salvage a life beyond hope means breaking the laws of nature. So if you are to save a life, then you must lose one in return.

  Young Snow White : But who must die?

  Blue Fairy : That is for you to decide. You must hold this candle over the heart of your sacrifice and whisper their name. And, when the candle is lit, that person's life will be traded for your mother's.

  Young Snow White : All she ever wanted was for me to be good. I can't trade someone else's life for hers.
