Jane Foster (Earth-616)/Quotes

Quotes by Jane Foster (Earth-616)

The air smells of bay leaves and frankincense. It smells of beauty. The sunlight gleams off topaz, amber and gold--as far as the eye can see. Welcome to Heven.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

There must always be a Thor.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

Did I say "army"? That's not the right word when you're dealing with super-people. The right word... is team. A medical team.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

I don't want it! I won't be a goddess! I won't stay in Asgard! It's too horrible! Too unendurable! Don't you realize how mad it is?!!

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

There must always be a Thor.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

With that hammer in my hand, I was the Goddess of Thunder. So I guess now the question is... what am I without it?

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

I don't like having to sneak and hide. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. But all I'm doing is what I swore I would do... When I was a little girl... standing over my mother's grave. I hide because I won't be stopped. And they would try to stop me... If they ever learned the truth. The world needs a Thor. That's all that really matters. We need a God who understands what it means to be humbled. To be mortal. A God who knows how precious life is. How delicate. A God who struggles everyday to live a worthy life. Who suffers so that no one else will have to. A God who loves the Earth enough to die for it. I am Dr. Jane Foster. And I will not stop being The Mighty Thor. Even though it is killing me.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

Always act on your impulses, Sam Wilson. Life's candle burns too briefly not to live in the moment. Avengers! Until our paths cross again...

We cannot allow Kang -- any Kang -- to seize the infant! Hold the line!

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

As someone who has loved you for a very long time, believe me when I say... the hammer doesn't make the man. You are so much more than just a chunk of Uru.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

Tell me, are all of your team-ups this bizarre and revolting?

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

You wanna eat my hammer, lady? Then by all means... take a big bite!

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

No! You have to stop! All you're doing is giving them reason to hate us! This is not how we end the war! This is how we create more wars! Listen to me, we have to be better than this! We have to behave like Gods!

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

The War of the Realms is not just a war of the elves. Or of the giants. It is a war that affects us all. A war that is moving from one realm to the next, setting them all aflame. Will Asgardia wait until its spires are burning before it responds? Or will you act now? Be the Gods the Realms need you to be! The Gods my people once worshipped! The Gods who inspired us to reach for the heavens and imagine our own place among the unimaginable. It doesn't matter who came first or who made who. We need Gods! And you need us.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

Then hear this: We don't have time to waste. Malekith will know the Bifrost is active, and he will come for us. And you're looking at the only warriors Asgard has left. So send our teams on their missions. And get ready to hold the bridge. All-Mother's orders.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

I could tell her. How I was Thor. How I am Valkyrie. But Valkyrie's not all I am. And if the secret gets out, it means saying goodbye to a relatively normal life as Jane Foster. And I'm not quite ready to stop being a doctor to be a full-time super hero. Why can't I be both?

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

Here's to All-Father Thor! Long may he thunder!

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

Come on. It's our mutual day off... let's go get some culture.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

"Even Death may die." We're looking at what that means. We are -- putting it generously -- five mid-list superpeople. This is something that could destroy the universe as we know it. This... is the Death of Death.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

A wound opens in the Earth. And the air is freezing. Unless I want to ferry the population of an entire New York City block to Valhalla, I better move fast. Because this? This is no earthquake.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

Everything comes at a price. And I'm not a God, after all. I'm just the woman who sometimes saves them.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

It's time you cleaned up your mess... Odin.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

She has no one. No one visits. No one calls. When she dies, her stories will die with her. I'm trying to save them, one by one. The stories. They cost me a coffee apiece. A bargain. She'll talk and then throw me out. Too proud to admit she enjoys the company. It makes me sad that a woman like her can die alone. Sad... but not altogether surprised.

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)

But... no offence, man... you're talking a lot about wanting to be a god king, but you're here with me eating hot dogs... Just... what are you afraid of?

--Jane Foster (Earth-616)
