I can see nothing here but death!

—X-Factor Vol 1 9

Mystique, sometime very soon... the X-Men are going to die!

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 223

Hullo Legion. Were you perhaps expecting to find two of us here to serve your pleasure... silly boy?

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 255

Forgive me, Raven. By the time you listen to this message, I will have been gone from this world for some time... but from what I can see, you will still be marching down the path we paved together... reaching towards a future you can wield as you see fit. You know you will be stopped, time and time again. It has become a game--a game you enjoy playing, but now, finally, you have the upper hand. Now, finally, you are poised to win. When you finally hear this tape, many elements will have just begun to converge. You will be at a nexus point, where many great changes will be possible. It begins with a Death, but it can end with a rebirth. The future is yours to shape. If you are hearing my voice, then Wolverine is dead. His end will bring together a group of lost souls--some evil, some merely broken. You must make them yours, Raven, and twist them to your ends. I will tell you exactly what you must do. Listen carefully, my love. And I will bring you your destiny.

—Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy Vol 1 6

I want you to listen carefully. What I'm about to tell you isn't going to sound believable, but I promise... it's all true. Every word of it.

—X-Men Vol 5 6

Would you like me to tell you how it's going to go?

I understand I'm asking for your blind trust in me, Rogue. This matter is delicate, and there is no one I trust more than you. Whatever trust you have... please place it in me now.

—Rogue & Gambit Vol 2 1

Protecting Gambit means protecting all mutants, Anna Marie. And this is the only way. War is coming, child, and the uncomfortable truth is that we do what we must in order to survive.

—Rogue & Gambit Vol 2 5

You've doomed us all.

—Immortal X-Men Vol 1 18

I don't love you. I have no maternal feelings toward you whatsoever. They have been locked away from me. If any residual feelings remained, I knew it would cause my gift to find the truth. They had to be gone. I had to hide you from myself. This is what Xavier's psi-blockage did to me. Xavier promised to clear it, but…he is in the hands of the enemy.

—X-Men: Forever Vol 1 3

My beloved will do anything for what she believes in. She has had many convictions over the years. But she has always been dedicated to one purpose... believes in one cause above all others... me.

—Mystique Vol 2 2

Would you like me to tell you how it's going to go?
