Quotes by Norman Osborn (Earth-616)
Edit
She was dead before your webbing reached her! A fall from that height would kill anyone before they struck the ground. 
- How did someone like me ever have a sniveling weakling of a son like you?!!
- For every life you save... there's a million new ways to die.
- I made Harry...and I can do any damn thing to him I want.
- Fired? Heh. I'm afraid you misunderstood. I'm not firing you. Quite the opposite, in fact. Taskmaster...how would you like to run the Initiative?
- Ladies and gentlemen. My Avengers of tomorrow. Welcome to the future of the Initiative. Welcome...to Camp H.A.M.M.E.R!
- They handed it to me. They handed me the power to rule the world. It is today..... Oh, no.
- If Rogers' body disappeared during the transfer...where, exactly, did he go?
- The only person who gets to talk to me like that is myself, in the mirror. I'm Norman Osb -- okay.
- I am the Iron Patriot. I will lead these new Avengers into battle against anyone who would threaten our way of life. My name is Norman Osborn and I approve these Avengers!!
- You can make fun of me all you want...but you know this is true... I was right.The world is a mess and the world needed me to fix it. And I would have. I could have. This world is a madhouse of mutants, terrorists, psychotics, aliens, and monsters. All of them clashing and crashing into each other at every second of every day. ... I know the mutants of this world will rise up and kill us. I know that the Hulk will one day decide to destroy everything he sees. I know the Punisher will one day kill the wrong person and set off a chain of events that will lead to nuclear holocaust. I know these heroes will dive head first into something they do not understand and end up doing such insane damage to the world that humans can no longer live on it. ... I know this is true. I know it. And I could have stopped it. If not for the fact that you kept standing in my @#$@# way...
- Bob. You have my permission...don't hold back.
- Oh Norman...Norman, Norman...Stop kidding yourself. I'm here. I'm always here.
- I'm authorizing your request to "visit" Elektra.
- Have fun. Oh, and Hawkeye? One last thing... Screw this up for me, and I'll have the Sentry throw you into the heart of the sun.
- I know you, Reaper. I didn't just pick your name out of a phone book, you know? In the end...you'll always do what's in your best interests to do. Everyone else be damned.
- If you want to know where the bodies are buried, Victoria, just ask me. Because I bury them so deep no one ever finds them.
- What can I say? I've saved the best for last. Tonight I'm going to kill the Amazing Spider-Man.
- Clint Barton, you're under arrest. That's one down...
- I'm sending him you. He made my list... and all your Christmases have come at once. I want you to kill Daredevil.
- Osborn's mind? You really have dialed the wrong number. I'm glad it's a mistake though. And not a rescue attempt. I mean, I'd hate to have to be indebted -- to those I'm about to kill!
- That's enough. You don't get to do 'one day.' Tomorrow belongs to me.
- Aren't you supposed to be the god of war? Doesn't that also mean being the god of not questioning chain-of-command?
- Soon every eye in the world will be on the lookout for Tony Stark.
- That man's no hero, but he'll make a hell of a warden.
- You hearing voices? You just keep getting more interesting.
- You hunt and kill Captain America...and Luke Cage...and Ms. Marvel...and Iron Fist...and Clint Barton...and Mockingbird...and Daredevil...and Spider-Woman...and Doctor Strange...and this Doctor Voodoo and all the others. You are my new storm troopers. My new black guard. You hunt them and you kill them. I don't care how. You bring me their heads. And you're off the hook with me. We're square. All sins forgiven. ... Spider-Man too. But I want him alive.
- Let me know as soon as he is ready. He'll be the crown jewel of...my...Avengers! So... Does anyone know where I can get a decent suit of armor?
- It's a new day. So listen carefully... This is how it's going to be. As you all know, I, Norman Osborn, have been given the keys to the kingdom. Tony Stark is out. S.H.I.E.L.D. is no longer. I am heading a new world peacekeeping task force that includes the Initiative and the Avengers franchises. And as far as I am concerned, that is good news for all of you. ... You'll tell me what it is you need, and I'll do that thing. And in return? ... In return, loyalty. Camaraderie. Brothers in arms. ... However, if any of you would sink to your basest instincts...you must know that whatever you have gained from this relationship...can easily be taken away. Like that. By force.
- So we need an incident. An Asgardian incident.
- He's dead. You're dead. You're all dead. He's going to kill you all. I was the only one who could stop him...I was the only one who knew what he really was. How -- how powerful he was. I was saving you all from him. You don't know what you've... Oh, no... I was saving you.
- I want you all to listen very carefully. I'm not going to kill you. I'm not even going to arrest you. Because you work for me now. Not the Thunderbolts. ME. But know this. If you ever - EVER - interfere with me again...I will murder your families, your friends, your loved ones. I'll kill them in ways that will make even sociopaths like you WEEP. And then I will torture you to death. Slowly. And I will enjoy every last moment of it.
- Everyone knows ME, Bullseye. I'm the director of the Thunderbolts. I'm Norman Osborn.
- Oh, yes. The Steel Spider. Man. Steel Spider, man. No. Steel Spider. The Steel Spider. The Steel Spider Man. Steel. Spider. Man. Spider. Man. Heh. Spider. Man. Spider-Man. Heh. Spider-Man. Spider-Man. Oh God. Heh. Spider-Man. Heh. Ha. Ha ha ha ha.
- You are going to study Spider-Man and devise a battle plan that does NOT embarrass me again. Is that clear? Steel Spider. You are going to study Steel Spider.
- Norman Osborn, America's last hero. That's what I am.
- My name's Norman Osborn. This is my office you trashed and my people you smacked around. Would you like to have a drink and talk about it?
- My friends! These creatures think Earth belongs to them! That they can come here - to our home - and make us kneel! But this is our world! This is our country! While a single breath remains in our bodies, we will fight and die to keep it! Stand with me! Show them! Let us shout it with one voice! This...is my country.
- Bullseye! They say that in your hands a mundane object becomes a weapon. Let's find out what a weapon becomes. The Zeus' armory. Take anything you want.
- We're calling it H.A.M.M.E.R.. I think it gets the message across ... That this time, we're taking no prisoners.
- Now...just between me and you, here's my little secret. Here's what it all means... The bad guys always win. Me killing you is just perfect symbolism for the times.
- We never know what chain of events we've set in motion as we perform our daily tasks. Wings of a butterfly and all of that. We suit up, show up, screw up. The results of those screwups don't surface for months...maybe years. Breathe in some asbestos on a job site. Twenty years later -- lung cancer. Send a man to jail. A few years later he becomes ruler of the Earth...he uses your best friend to kill you.
- Daken Akihiro is a strategic loaner from my Avengers. His Q numbers are astronomical and I want him to be the gateway brand between the two teams. Turns out people love Wolverine. Can't get enough of him. Who knew?
- I considered a major celebrity death. Maybe just a few shark attacks. But in the end, I dedided that the most enjoyable distration of all...would be the war crimes trial of the terrorist and traitor James Rhodes!
- Rhodes, this is ridiculous! You can't seriously want to let that thing look inside my head!
