But there is another life which awaits you when you close your eyes and enter my realm. For I am the King of Dreams and Nightmares. When the waking world leaves you wanting and weary, sleep brings you here to find freedom and adventure, to face your fears and fantasies in Dreams and Nightmares that I create - and which I must control, lest they consume and destroy you. That is my purpose and my function. TOM STURRIDGE as Dream of the Endless/Morpheus THE SANDMAN 1.01 - Sleep of the Just

“I think his perceived flaws as a king are to do with his great genius, which is that he can hold these two conflicting ideas in his head and have love, essentially, for both parties. That was considered weak at the time, because it means he can’t make decisions in the aggressive-minded way that is required in medieval England. Despite wearing the crown, Henry’s place is not to be a king. His primary evolution is through that realisation. He says at the end that all he wants to do is spend his last days in devotion.”
