Quotes by Thanos (Earth-616)
The past is DEAD. The present, Annihilus, is WAR.

- You've gone too far Mar-Vell! Bringing in the Avengers could slow my plans!

- The seemingly all-powerful Goddess has recruited to her Service some of Earth's most powerful and noble Heroes. Though misguided, they fight for a Cause they absolutely believe in. On the other Hand, your Comrades have Thanos of Titan as an Ally. Admittedly a dubious Honor, but also a definitive Advantage.
- Fools taking up arms against omnipotence. They rush head-on into Armageddon. So I shall provide them with a most glorious doomsday! The heavens will run red with blood. But in the end, as always, THANOS will stand triumphant.
- The entire Universe stands in grave Peril.

- Science and a benevolent nature have allowed thousands of different species to flourish beyond the capability of their environs to sustain them.
- To claim that Thanos, Death's truest servant, would drop progeny! Now that is truly unforgivable.
- I may be dead. But you, dear Surfer, are in Dynamo City. I am, by far, the more fortunate of the two of us. Welcome to Bedlam, Surfer. Know that you will never again roam the heavens. That is my legacy to you.
- For I am transformed! I have left the mortal plane behind me! In truth I have risen above the mantle of godhood! Even celestial status is now below me! The Infinity Gems have given me the power of Supreme Being!
- Concerned? No. Only Curious. After the Silver Surfer has served his purpose Thanos of Titan could not care less wether he lives or dies.
- Many have opposed me: First and foremost the Kree champion Captain Mar-Vell. Long dead against his will while I yet live, against mine. There have always been those who would interfere with my goals. My choices. My dreams. Only one thing has ever remained true. My love and devotion to milady Death. And that thing has now been taken from me. I had accomplished my goals! I was at rest in emptiness and something woke me! I was at peace, and something brought me back to pain! ... Again, insects, you ask what am I? What I am is angry. What I am is insane with rage. What I am is...THANOS!
- In this universe, the chthonic entities had already begun to extend their unspeakable influence. Mar-Vell's terminal condition caused such distress amongst his peers and the global populations who adored him, something felt the empathic trauma. It felt it, and it responded with an offer to solve the problem. Something beckoned from the cosmic shadows and showed the dying Mar-Vell one simple truth. 'Even Death may die.'
- Who said I wanted to win, Kree dog? I just wanted you here, close, face-to-face. Do I need to spell it out, flea? Give me what I crave. Give me death! Give me the release of oblivion! And I will give you everything you want in return...my undying lord.
- Your Fate will lay heavily on my Heart, though by all rights it shouldn't. I did not force you to fight me. I gave you the chance to surrender the Gem. You forced me into doing what I did. I had to be faithful to my Nature. For, after all, I am Thanos.
- I killed them because I... because I had too much love in my heart, and no place to put it, no one to give it to.
- I've come home. Because I'm tired of running from who I am. From who I was born to be.
- It speaks... and knows of me by Name. Should I be flattered?
- Now? Now you speak?
- You would think, by now, that my Reputation would precede me...
- First came the Chalice of Tears. Now the Map of All-Ending. Let the universe cower in fear. For Thanos now possesses the secret of life -- and death!

- I have News for you, Warlock! I may still be able to save your gleaming Hide, but I cannot do it alone. I need your help! So Fight! Blast you, Fight!

- Am I not Thanos?! Did I not butcher the woman who gave me birth, who force-fed me into this hell called life?! Is not the wake of my passing crimson with the blood of my enemies and allies alike?! Death is with me every second of the day! My every moment is spent in either dealing out death or worshiping it! So tell me, who under the stars is better suited than I to be Death's consort?
