—Thor Vol 2 19

I come with fear in my heart for the realm eternal--for there is trouble in Midgard, grave trouble indeed--and trouble of Thor's own making.

But if it's a war you truly desire, Thor -- then Loki can happily provide.

—Avengers: The Origin Vol 1 4

—Thor Vol 5 7

Brother mine, you are a sentimentalist, 'Tis a flaw you may well find fatal!

For Asgard!

For Midgard!

For myself!
