Peter Wingfield: Adam Pierson, Methos

Quotes 

• Lord Byron : Do you want a tombstone that reads 'he lived for centuries', or one that says 'for centuries, he was alive'?

  Adam Pierson : You're not listening to me, I don't want a tombstone.

• Lord Byron : You're the guy in the audience, and I'm the guy on the flying trapeze, who do you think's having more fun?

  Adam Pierson : Who do you think will live the longest?

  Lord Byron : Who cares?

  Adam Pierson : You used to care... there was a time when you were reaching for the heavens.

  Lord Byron : There is no Heaven, only an illusion for fools and innocents.

• Duncan 'Mac : Cut the crap, Mike's dead because of him.

  Adam Pierson : No, Mike is dead because of Mike.

  Duncan 'Mac : The kid idolized him... maybe he didn't pull the trigger, but he sure as hell put the gun in his hand. To live like me, you have to be like me, come on Methos, Mike couldn't do that, he wasn't Immortal.

  Adam Pierson : And that is not Byron's fault.

• Methos : Think... think... think about the poetry. Think about the music that he's made. Think about the music that he'll still make. You going to kill all that as well?

  Duncan : And what about Mike? What music could he have made?
