 You couldn't live mah life. Tonight was nothin' compare to what I usually face.

 The books make things easy, they take away all responsibility, but they make us slaves. These books represent the death of hope. Only hope is what the X-Men are all about. We're not your enemy, Vargas. We are dream made flesh. 

—X-Treme X-Men Vol 1 17

 We're X-Men, Logan. What defines us is hope. That's why we don't give up. That's why, no matter the odds... we find a way t' win.

—X-Treme X-Men Vol 1 34

—X-Treme X-Men Vol 1 45

 True, but I guess some folks b'lieve rules were meant t' be broken. These three, especially -- Wolverine, Storm and Nightcrawler. Pay attention, students. Ev'rything y'all want t'know 'about the Danger Room, an' bein' an X-Man... is right here b'fore your eyes. 

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 444

 That...that's......momma? That's my momma! But...she died......and you're too young to 've known her... 

—Rogue Vol 3 1

 You brought me here, to the only place I could learn what really happened to my momma. But that don't mean I trust you. I don't even know you, don't know who or what you are. Don't know your motives... 

—Rogue Vol 3 3

 Well, now that's plain silliness. You didn't "lure" me here. I came with the X-Men, 'cause of......funny...I know we had a reason...just can't remember it......uh... 

—Rogue Vol 3 5

 Hi, Aunt Carrie. I just stopped by to say...I'm sorry. For everythin'. And...thanks. And...I love you. 

—Rogue Vol 3 6

 Truth be told, I used to be quite a stinker, but I cleaned up mah act since then. 

—Rogue Vol 3 7

 Don't. Don't you dare speak to me. The last time I saw you, you stabbed me. You were my mother, and you-- Lord knows why, but I've tried. I've tried to forgive you. But now that you've-- What you've done to the professor, that's it. Far as I'm concerned, you're not my foster mother anymore. You're not even a person. You're a monster. 

—Mystique Vol 1 23

 Blindspot! How'd ah get here? Where's Mystique an' the others?! 

—Rogue Vol 3 11

—Rogue Vol 3 12

 You told me I could pick my own team, remember. An independent strike force that could handle stuff in the field while you guard the mansion. No arguments. No limits. Well I chose 'em. Live with it. 

—X-Men Vol 2 192

 We're not staying. We just came to pack our things. 

—X-Men Vol 2 193

 Margeret Riley. Age 29. Divorced, no kids. Moved here from Jackson Heights, Queens, eight months ago. She -- she's in here with me. Just one touch, and she's -- all her thoughts! All her life! It's worse than ever! 

—X-Men Vol 2 199

 It's different than it was. But the Professor's right. Ah don't know what it would feel like to be in full control of my power. Ah can only go on instinct. Ah'm never gonna be sure -- totally sure -- until ah try it out. ... You still willing to be my guinea pig? 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 224

 Something is inside your mind, Remy. Something that isn't you. ... It's like -- there's another you, behind the real you, sitting there real quiet, looking out through your eyes. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 234

 Hope. Bein' born don't make you guilty of nothin'. Innocent newborn babies ain't done nothin'. These people died because warped, wicked, evil people murdered them. This is what evil looks like. Not innocence. 

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 526

 I'm used to minds leaving their muddy fingerprints all over mine...but that was something. His mind isn't a mind. His mind is his body. It doesn't know where it starts or ends. He's having a nightmare and we're all having it with him. It got a taste, and just recoiled from it...but he's trapped in there. It's not his fault. 

—Generation Hope Vol 1 2

 Rachel, and the others. Ah know where they are. And ah can take us there. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 253

 You mean you didn't guess yet? Ah said it was a friend, Scott. A friend who died by fire. We should have figured it out as soon as Ruth started talking about doors. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 259

 Look at me. Please. How many doubts you used to have. About leading us. About your own strengths, and your own instincts. And Ah know why you put those doubts away from you, Scott. Couldn't ask us to trust you if you didn't trust yourself. We needed you to be that strong. But somewhere along the way, "Ah can't afford to make a mistake" became "Nothing Ah do could ever be wrong". You hid doubts so deep, you maybe couldn't find them again now if you wanted to. But you got to try. Because Ah think they're what's gonna save you. Thanks for eveything, Scott. Tell Emma goodbye. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 260

 You ain't done nothin' ah haven't, or easily could've. Stop punishing yourself, Michael. We've all been where you are. Someone helped us when we needed it. Now it's time to pay it forward. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 264

 It's more'n okay for you to stay, Cal. Ah know ah been talkin' a lot about standin' on your own. And that's good. We all gotta do that. But today ah remember there's a reason we all came together. 'Cause it's a lot easier to stand alone when you got friends to help you do it. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 265

 Hey. Remember me? AH'M ROGUE! Ah'm an X-Man. This is mah house. And you're trespassin'. SO AH'M GIVIN' YOU THE BOOT! 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 267

 Guess that's the difference between us and the Avengers. The world already looked pretty good to them. They fought to keep it as it was. We fought to make it better. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 269

 But Ah'm gonna win. 'Cause Ah'm fightin' for a woman Ah just realized is a friend. And now Ah'm fightin' for mah soul. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 270

 Okay. We drill our students on alien world survival skill. Time to show ah can do as well as teach. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 271

 When ah went to the X-Men, ah was desperate. They had every reason to turn me away. But they didn't. Ah figured if they believed in me, ah owed it to them to believe in myself. To try. To get better. Ah found out ah could. So much more than ah ever imagined possible. Ah'm still learnin' that. Biggest lesson was that there were people who cared enough to help...but at the end of the day, it was up to me. Ah ain't gonna lie. It was hard. Still is. And ah live knowin' it could all unravel if ah make one wrong move. But it all started with someone believing in me. And me takin' that first step. Ah believe in you. Now it's your move. 

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 275

 Krystal, I know what it's like to be different in a small town. How desperate the need to fit in is. I been there...but you can't beat yourself up like this. It gets better... 

—Marvel Knights: X-Men Vol 1 1

 It just feels like all of us -- every Avenger an' X-Man -- we're all just grinding against fate until our number comes up. We save the world... but never each other. 

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 17

 But, Johnny -- I ain't wrong now. I need to end this. 

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 22

 Death, chaos, insanity... that woman drags destruction behind her! She can't be trusted! 

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 26

 That's called "teamwork," sugah... now c'mere and give us a kiss! 

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 27

 There's way too much we don't know -- like what's immobilizin' certain Avengers in mid-stride, and why. Near as Ah can tell, that's not a typical Black Order play, which means there's somethin' else involved -- but what? 

—Avengers Vol 1 677

 Pfft. The only thing I'm intimidated by is the fact that your libido is so powerful it can cut through mind control. 

—Rogue & Gambit Vol 1 2

 You and me are forever. 

—Rogue & Gambit Vol 1 5

 Uh, ladies... we've got a problem. Magneto already knows we're here! 

—Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor Vol 1 1

 You didn't tell us everyone in the dang galaxy would be after the thing, Kitty. We've been fighting the Imperial Guard, Technet and, y'know, as you can see, Deadpool. So thanks for that. Deadpool on my honeymoon was just what I had in mind. 

—Mr. and Mrs. X Vol 1 3

 That's it. That's what ties everything together. Fear Looking now I can see... it's always there. I was afraid. 

—Mr. and Mrs. X Vol 1 9

 You picked the wrong couple to manipulate, Mojo. I was gonna say the gloves are comin' off, but these days it turns out I don't even need to take them off... 

—Mr. and Mrs. X Vol 1 10

 Ugh. I feel terrible. Oh. Good. More chains. You know, at this point I'd honestly be surprised if I woke up not in chains. 

—Mr. and Mrs. X Vol 1 11

 I'm sorry for all the times I made you prove yourself, Remy. But that's over now. Whatever else life brings, I know you, and you know me. Nobody has to prove anything anymore. Right? 

—Mr. and Mrs. X Vol 1 12

 Apocalypse is gonna try to take credit for it. Just like a man. Gonna try to say that he woke me up when he was good and ready. But I ain't a kept woman. Speakin' 'a which, I've got this funny feelin' -- call it women's intuition -- that my man's about to die. You know what it's called when you're tryna keep track of somethin' and it busts on out and mucks up your plans, right? They call it goin' rogue. 

—Excalibur Vol 4 5

 That man kidnapped and tortured me, X-Men. The good news is he can take a Hulk-level beatin', so none of us need to hold back. 

—X-Men Vol 6 3

 What a shame it is for you to return and spot all the icebergs...and them delight as we plow into them. 

—X-Men Vol 6 10

 What a lovely first catch of the day. The Empress will be so pleased. 

—Captain Marvel Vol 10 43

 They still believe that Carol is their key to destroying the Kree once an' for all, an' the Brood they've impregnated some of us with are... something new. They're no longer satisfied with simply gestating their young in super-powered people to create a single Brood with powers. They want an infinite army of Brood with super-powers. 

—Captain Marvel Vol 10 47

 We've all lost. And... ah can't lie to you, Carol, we still have more to lose. We will all lose so much before we're done--that's how our lives are. But you cannot give up. Your friends and family need you. All of us need you. The world needs you, Carol. And someday, there will be good things again. Ah promise. 

—Captain Marvel Vol 10 49

 So...may the best heist win. 

—Love Unlimited Infinity Comic Vol 1 61

 My sexuality is one hundred percent X-Men. 

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 6 1

 It's our first night at Haven in Louisiana. We thought no one would come looking for us, 'lessen we wanted 'em to. But I called half a dozen mutants I thought were my friends… an' not one of 'em picked up. Now these kids show up looking for help. Looking for the X-Men. Only problem is… there don't seem to be any X-Men proper anymore. I sound cold, I know. But Remy stole the left eye of Agamotto… and it's affecting him, somehow. No. This isn't… this isn't how this should go. Yesterday, we were there as a mutant, a kid… just died for no reason 'cept the meanness in the world. I want to help these kids. I'm just not sure how. 

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 6 2

 What defines us is hope. That's why we don't give up. That's why, no matter the odds... we find a way t' win. 

—Rogue (Anna Marie) (Earth-616)

Magneto	August Hirt. Director of Anatomy at Strasbourg University in the 1940s.
Rogue	You knew him?
Magneto	Not well. And not for long. Just long enough to murder him.

—August Hirt (Earth-616)

Rogue	Yo, Spiral -- later! That's a promise.
Spiral	One I'll gladly hold you to -- sugar!

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 206

Rogue	If we can't trust ourselves anymore...
Wolverine	...then the time's come to pack things up and go our separate ways... because in all the ways that really matter... the X-Men are through!

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 214

Rogue	Sinister ain't in this t'help anyone but himself, girl. He's usin' you.
Threnody	Yes. But I'm using him, too.

—X-Men Vol 2 34

Frenzy	So, what, we're trapped here? In the armpit of the universe?
Rogue	Pretty much.

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 256

Havok	But... those coordinates. You're taking us out over the west coast.
Rogue	Yeah, ah guess there's some briefing sessions need to be had, at that. Lorna. Alex. Rachel. Welcome home. Now let's see... where do ah start?

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 258

Doctor Doom	...I can raise the dead. I can give you everything you've ever wished for... ...or nothing at all. It's up to you.
Cyclops	And all we'd have to do to receive these miracles is...?
Doctor Doom	Accept them.
Cyclops	You mean surrender.
Doctor Doom	You may resist, if you wish. If your pride demands it. But you won't win. Even the power of the Beyonder was nothing compared to that of the Life Force. And those who resist it will surely perish. So will you accept my offer...?
Rogue	Oh no...
Wolverine	Not again... I guess this time its a not-so-Secret War.

—Avengers: The Children's Crusade Vol 1 8

Exodus	The child... Hope is the prophesied saviour of our people, and Cyclops risks her in battle?
Wolverine	All the kids. If you ask me we can't afford to lose any of 'em. But yeah... her especially
Exodus	My apologies. I was wrong. You were entirely justified in your actions. I have sworn to save mutantkind. My course is clear
Rogue	Um... Did we just get Cyclops killed?
Wolverine	Damn it

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 261

Rogue	You should know ah've tried this already...He's got more power'n most anyone we've met. His limits have never really been tested.
Hope Summers	Neither have mine.

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 263

Falcon (Sam Wilson)	Jen, those were students!
She-Hulk (Jen Walters)	Wh-- I-- I saw a monster...
Rogue (Anna Marie)	'Course you did.

—X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 266

Rogue	First Johnny flies away, and then Quicksilver runs off. Rogers asked me to quarterback this squad. Would they treat him like this? Is it 'cause I'm a woman?
Deadpool	Let's not jump to any conclusions. Maybe it's because you're a mutant?
Rogue	HA!
Doctor Voodoo	Not helping, Deadpool.
Deadpool	That's my mutant power -- not helping.

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 2

Wrecker	Avengers Assemble!
Rogue	Shut yo' mouth.
Wrecker	What? You let Deadpool say it.
Rogue	He's earned it.

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 7

Scorpia	Seriously? I thought this was the part where we team up 'cause we risked our lives for each other and stuff.
Rogue	Honey, that only happens in comic books.

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 25

Rogue	Logan? Sugah? What…what’s happening? It hurts.
Wolverine	I’m…in the dark, moonbeam. And it ain’t gonna get any lighter where I’m goin. You gotta….you gotta get away from them kids.
Gambit	Mon chère. What’s happening?
Jubilee	What is it, Rogue? What do you see?
Rogue	It’s Wolverine. It’s Logan. He’s in the dark. He’s dying. He’s dying.
