I've news for you: all I did was pull the bandages off. You screamed your head off and passed out straightaway. That was two hours ago. Tell us everything.

—Punisher Vol 7 9

Been a long, long time...Since I killed people from a Huey.

—Punisher Vol 7 10

Thought the cops'd show up sooner than this. Would've liked to get the others but three dozen Westies is a good night's work. One more mag, then quit.

Something in me's saying, "Stop. Back off. Run proper recon. Wait them out and let them sweat, then go in like the wrath of God!" But this cold, white fury that I feel says no. Suicide Run. If I die now, a world of f_cks will go unpunished. But I drive on.

—Punisher Vol 7 24

The things I'd have to do to break those men...to make them talk...would be extreme.

Prison held no terror for a man like him. Neither did torture nor did death. How would you make him afraid? How would you even talk to him? You'd start by showing him you speak the language.

—Punisher Vol 7 43

There are times I'd like to get my hands on God.

—Punisher Vol 7 44

Calm down. Nobody dies that doesn't deserve to.

—Punisher: Frank Castle Max Vol 1 71

—Get Fury Vol 1 1

The world went crazy on a summer's day in Central Park. In the time before Uzis and berettas, before nine-millimeter popguns ruled the streets. It was a Thompson, like the ones our fathers carried, and I recognized its rattle even as its big, man-stopping forty-fives punched blood and breath from my lungs. I hit the ground besides my daughter. She's been gunshot, badly, and when she saw the things that boiled and wriggled from her belly the expression on her face was not a little girl's. My wife bled out later on the operating table, her heart a gaping hole her life drained through. Whenever I get careless, that yearning in her eyes creeps up and brings me to my knees. Right then the old man's soldiers started shooting back. My son dropped wordlessly, without a mark on him. I took a breath that cut like glass, spat blood, rose to my knees, picked up the boy and searched in vain for entry wounds. The bullet had entered through his open mouth. That was our picnic in the park. And now every night I go out and make the world sane.
