Quotes by Rachel Summers (Earth-811)
Derry Campbell. Mom-side cousin, red-state and proud of it. Lifelong texican, big laugh, salty language, slinky skirt and cowboy boots, perfect hair, better makeup and a diamond nose-chip.
Uncle Roger. Played the jazz cornet. Session musician, good but not great. One of the "Hurricane Homeless".
Aunt Julia was a chef. No cookbooks, no TV Show, no franchise, just the one restaurant - serving the best homefood in five states.
Brian Grey. Grampa's kid brother, mom's favorite uncle. Master carpenter, little league coach, soccer dad.
Uncle Liam. Pastor Liam. He loved Keats and Dylan Thomas and James Joyce and had a voice like honey to read them aloud. His sermons were a celebration of language as well as faith.
Julian didn't like crowds. He loved South Park, even if he wasn't supposed to watch it. He came into the world with this little scar on his forehead, so of course he totally bonded with Harry Potter. Hooked me, too. We read the books together.
Mary-Margaret and Kindra. Cousins. My age. We talked boys and fashion and music and scandal, and concluded I was woeful about them all.
Mary-Margaret and Kindra. Cousins. My age. We talked boys and fashion and music and scandal, and concluded I was woeful about them all.
Terry Maguire. Eyes that sparkled and a smile to die for, when he looked at me. We had barely five minutes together, but for a telepath that can be a lifetime. He was going to call tomorrow, invite me to the movies. He wanted to kiss me. He was trying to save his kid brother.
Terry Maguire... He was trying to save his kid brother.
I know your real name. I know you're lying to us about why you're here. Come clean or be burned.
...and I claim the power and the name of Phoenix... that are mine by right!
Mesmero. You're supposed to be in prison...
I took the name "Prestige" to put the past behind me. No more "Phoenix." No more "Marvel Girl." No more past. No more future. Just me. Moving forward. And damn you to Hell for trying to pull me back in.
Whatever it is you're up to, Stryfe, it's over.
No... I can't deny it any longer! I've made a terrible mistake. Somehow, I'm stuck in the wrong past. And because of my stupidity... the world is doomed!
My dreams are nightmares.
The X-Men thought enough of Professor Xavier's dream to offer up their lives. Is it so much to ask that we fight to preserve it?
Sometimes, kiddo, the choices aren't clear-cut, or easy. And the victories aren't absolute. Sometimes, you have to settle for a draw.
Why is it that when I almost destroy the universe, everyone gets upset?
We're too late. The Anti-Phoenix has joined with Necrom. I can feel him in my mind. He's coming after me.
We should all live for the moment. It could be our last.
I'm not my mother. I'm not Phoenix. I'm my own woman... and before I'm done... they'll wish I were the Phoenix.
But the idea of talking to anyone... well it scares me.
I wanted to kill them, Kurt. More than almost anything. But my family's got enough bad karma to balance already. So I made a choice. I will not kill. Yes, I'm my mother's daughter. And I mean to find my destiny in a way that brings us both honor.
What I saw in that poor man's mind... The Shi'ar are monsters, Professor.
The Phoenix knows me, remember? It likes me.
Whole attack took less than five minutes. They killed three security personnel and an off-duty NYPD detective. And they kidnapped the Mayor.
We've got an anti-mutant serial killer loose in a home for mutants.
Mesmero made us see what he wanted us to see.
Krakoa's talking to me now. He says he never wanted to attack us. The Hellfire Club made him do it. He says... He says he's a mutant just like us. He keeps apologizing. I think he's crying. You won't believe this... He's asking if he can be an X-Man now?
So what?! Two seconds after my mother dies, Scott decides to move on to Emma Frost?!?
It's the Morrigan. It's the @#$% Morrigan! She's been passing as Siryn all along!
I'm not my mother. I'm not Phoenix. I'm my own woman... and before I'm done... they'll wish I were the Phoenix.

Uncanny X-Men
There were those among us who wanted only vengeance. They wanted the scales balanced in fire and blood, life for life! But the X-Men stood for something better. They never lost hope, no matter what. Because of them, Professor Xavier's dream -- of a world where normal and mutant could live in peace and fellowship, where there wouldn't be any distinction between them -- we'd all just be human -- never died. If you turn away from that dream, Kurt, you'll do more damage than you know. We may be doomed -- ours may be a lost cause -- but sometimes the way we live and die are more important than the simple fact of it. Give up now, and all those sacrifices -- in my world as much as yours -- will have been for nothing!
