Ah...like most...dabblers...you understand too quickly. None may claim the Mantle Esoteric -- though it can be given. As I do...now...without pause...or lament. But...you'll find a Sorceress Supreme is not an empress. You fill this...vacancy...to discover humility...in short -- TO SERVE!

—Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 61

On the contrary, my friend. I think your salvation lies in your returning to your blood, antagonistic roots. In other words, Namor--follow your rage.

—Marvel Team-Up Vol 2 8

I have been accused of being unrelenting. Merciless. Perhaps I am. For I have looked into that heart of darkness. I know the chill of evil. I have clearly seen that, no matter what, sometimes the night cannot be kept at bay. So I carefully choose my battles. I fight those I can win. And make sure the ones I can't win are worth dying for.

—Shadows and Light Vol 1 2

And I have found a most courageous ally in the Amazing Spider-Man. Brash and flippant he may be, but I sense in his young life a recent tragedy, perhaps greater even than my own. Whatever the truth may be, Spider-Man has a valiant spirit to match his astounding powers! Clearly, he has accepted the great responsibility that great power demands!

—Untold Tales of Spider-Man Strange Encounter Vol 1 1

The magics are being abused.

—Avengers Vol 1 502

My theory... Listen to me. This chaos magic -- the source of her new "reality-altering powers..." I am the master of the mystic arts -- and I am telling you... there's no such thing as chaos magic. Please forget we are talking about your friend. And listen to me tell you the story of an orphaned mutant with a sordid, violent past... with powers she did not earn nor can she control... Powers she never fully understood. Can you understand the declicate mindset of a woman, a person, who has control over reality? It means reality controls her. Imagination becomes the enemy. Structure disappears. Reality, eventually, as she knows it, starts to slip away. Elude her. Blur. Drama, conflict, tragedy. They become excuses to change the world to fit the image that she has for it. Anything she doesn't like, she can change. No matter how slight. People. Places. Things. Everything is hers to change. But every time she does that, every time she gives in to her desires, no matter how noble they may be... a little more of her slips away. She loses herself. Her reason. But she struggles quietly every day to keep it in check -- to keep it all together. For a person of strong mind and body, for a person of pure spirit... the task of coping with these powers would be all-consuming. But here's a woman for whom, by the nature of her upbringing and occupation... every day is stressful, chaotic... and after a life lived with lost love, violence, and drama, what does she do? She says to herself: "I deserve happiness. I want to bring something into this world that is good. That I can love." And she gives birth to children... even though she can't. She played mommy to make herself feel like someone she thinks is normal. And that ends tragically as well? If I told you a story like this, you'd say to yourself, this sounds like a person who has lost control of themselves on a deep psychological level. You'd say this sounds like a disturbed person. Now, does anything I have described not sound like Wanda Maximoff?

—Avengers Vol 1 503

Oh, I'm so sorry. Forgive me. I'll try and be a tad more quiet as I desperately struggle to break free -- and save all creation!

—Defenders Vol 3 2

You're a good man who's led a good life. Prepare to die.

—Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Vol 1 2

I have gazed into the baleful orifices of Dormammu... but they were pretty compared to you.

—X-Statix Presents: Dead Girl Vol 1 2

There is no right or wrong in this debate. It is simply a matter of perspective, and it is not my place to influence the evolution of the superhuman role.

—Civil War Vol 1 6

If you find her, if by some miracle -- I doubt what you'll find will help you feel better about what's happened. It may make things worse.

—Doctor Strange: The Oath Vol 1 5

Don't be snooty, Wong.

—New Avengers Vol 1 28

Our struggles of late. I have had to call upon darker forces than I would normally use….Forces I thought I could control, but I can’t. It was arrogance. The same arrogance that led me down the path I’m on in the first place. My hands are useless again. And I tried to disguise it. All these years, and I have learned nothing. There’s—I’ve had no time to deal with what I’ve done, and the forces are overpowering me. I wanted to help you, my friends. I wanted so much to help my old friend Bruce Banner. But I failed. And I have failed at my task as Sorcerer Supreme of this dimension. I—I don’t think I can help you anymore. I need to atone for what I have done. I need to relearn all that I have lost. And put back magics which I had no business using in the first place. I can’t help you anymore. You need to leave here. We all do. I’m so sorry, my friends.

—New Avengers Annual Vol 1 2

D'Spayre. It's D'Spayre! He's using the Cube! ... Cap's death...the war between the heroes...the loss of security...their own lives...all their wishes for something else...all their sadness for not getting what they long for...all coming here, all being amplified...filling up every nook and cranny of our world...until we drown in the regret.

—Avengers / Invaders Vol 1 7

It would require taking almost all of that power from you, and investing it in Mjolnir. You would be back where you were before you inherited his power. But there's something else. If I do this, if I take from you the power to recreate Mjolnir, then you and the hammer will be bound together as never before. As goes Mjolnir, so goes Thor. If the hammer is ever destroyed or damaged again this badly - you will die.

—Thor Vol 1 602

I'd forgotten how terrific it felt to simply relax and not have to feel responsible for every little thing that goes wonky...

—Strange Vol 2 1

If you do not pay the utmost attention, magic can get away from you in a heartbeat. Every spell, every sigil, every manipulation... you must keep a close eye on everything so it doesn't backfire.

—Strange Vol 2 2

Tony Stark. Do you remember me? I'm Dr. Stephen Strange. I've come to show you the way out of this hole you're in. The world needs it's Iron Man.

Come on, Larry. Let's go make some consequences.

Without the Eye of Agamotto...we forfeit... Everything.

—New Avengers Vol 2 2

She thanks me for my help. I tell her that I wish the world could see the X-Men as I do. She doesn't care about the world, she says. Blink is alive, free from Selene's influence. That's what Emma cares about now. I ask her what happens next. She says that's up to Blink now. But I don't need to see the future to know what fate holds for Blink. Clarice Ferguson is a mutant, a survivor, a hero. That makes her an X-Man.

—X-Men: To Serve and Protect Vol 1 3

Loose the vapors of Valtorr which kept the truth concealed -- by the blessed three Vishanti, let my garb now be revealed. Eye of Agamatto, lead me to the one behind this...

—Doctor Strange: From the Marvel Vault Vol 1 1

Depending on just who made what wishes... the Hulk might actually get exactly what he wants.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 633

Listen -- I know you want to stand with the Hulk...bear witness...but you know what's happening. No one here is going to survive. This is the end, Amadeus...and even more importantly...this is the end he wants.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 634

I believe observation and knowledge must precede action.

—Daredevil Annual Vol 3 1

On the card is written his last known location. You mission requires travel. To a distant land where old ways are practiced. Where the people and customs will seem unworldly and alien to you.

—Daredevil Vol 3 32

I need more [power]. I want to be able to move worlds and shake them to their foundations. I want enough power in my hands to tear planets from the heavens and place them in a new sky.

—New Avengers Vol 3 14

Wade, I cannot rip Preston from your mind. You must allow her to leave.

—Deadpool Vol 5 24

When you say "the Hulk," you think you know what that means. But the Hulk we knew no longer exists. There is no humanity left in him. So what we were dealing with was an animal. A monster.

—Savage Hulk Vol 2 5

Illyana Rasputin. Darkchild, if you prefer. My name is Stephen Strange. I am Sheriff of Agamotto and the Right Hand of Doom.

—Inferno Vol 1 4

I warned you about the... Wong, I did tell her, I swear.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 2

So the question is: How did they know about these items of power slipping through the dimensional cracks and we did not?

—Invincible Iron Man Vol 3 3

Impossible? I've learned never to use that word in my line of work.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 4

This is Doctor Strange, broadcasting on all known mystical wavelengths. The Earth is under assault. All sites of magical significance are possible targets. The Empirikul are here. And they are not at all what we were expecting. Our enemies are not magicians. Their weapons are technological. But don't allow that to make you overconfident. This... is unlike any technology I've ever seen. A technology with the power to disrupt magic.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 5

You wanted to end all magic. Well, I've got a better job for you. This is it. Zelma Stanton only saved one book from my library. Bless her soul. And it's one I wrote. I call it The Thing in the Cellar.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 10

This is just the way I look now, Wong. Say hello to the new face of magic.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 11

Clowns. Of course. There's gonna be a lot of clowns. Isn't there?

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 13

Okay, but... I'm definitely writing your diner a strongly worded Yelp review.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 14

That was merely a confirmation that I haven't brought us on a wild ghost chase.

—Doctor Strange / Punisher: Magic Bullets Infinite Comic Vol 1 4

Don't make any sudden moves, Frank -- I got your back.

—Doctor Strange / Punisher: Magic Bullets Infinite Comic Vol 1 6

Mordo, Nightmare, Satana, the Orb (the Orb-- still can't get over that one), and Dormammu. This was quite the week from Hell. But at least I showed them I'm still as stubborn as ever when it comes to being murdered.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 16

You can tell me, I'm a doctor.

—Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Vol 1 16

Who do we help next?

—Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme Vol 1 6

I've been going about this all wrong. But so have you. Love. That's how you think you can hurt me? Love's not even in the job description for a Sorcerer Supreme. But you know what is? Pain.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 19

The island of Manhattan is under siege by the Darkforce Dimension... and I'm trapped in a gilded golf cart... with a pack of overgrown children.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 22

Wiccan. Billy. Who made the deal for the mark? If we can find them, we can --

—Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme Vol 1 10

Oh, the many years I've waited to hear you speak those words, Mordo. Now, shall we end this? Your awesome stockpile of magic... versus my carefully honed skills and experience?

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 24

The cup grants you... a kind of immortality, Yao. You'll age slowly. And while you may not live forever... you do live long enough to teach all of us. We are your legacy... Master.

—Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme Vol 1 12

I just can't shake the feeling... this has all happened before.

—Doctor Strange Vol 4 25

I'll be with you in a moment, young man. For now, please just stand by. As buffoonish as he seems, Baron Mordo can be dangerous.

—Warriors of Three Sovereigns Vol 1 7

Your sword knows who your allies are and where to find them.

—Warriors of Three Sovereigns Vol 1 8

I shouldn't be here. I made a promise to the man at the top of this mountain that I would never come to him for help. Technically speaking, he doesn't even exist. And the odds are strong he'll kill me for even attempting to make contact...

—Doctor Strange Vol 1 382

If you change into Thor... even one more time... there will be no coming back. Jane Foster will die.

—Mighty Thor Vol 2 703

I did bring Las Vegas back, but something else came along with it. Something evil. A nightmare. Something... hellish.

—Doctor Strange Vol 1 386

If I weren't furious and half-dead I'd be impressed.

—Doctor Strange Vol 1 388

I don't understand. Does this... are you coming back?

—Doctor Strange Vol 1 390

Unless I'm mistaken it's the Eye of Basphorus!

—Doctor Strange Vol 5 2

The Time Stone, it's been... re-created somehow. Why... why is it here? Who could have...

—Doctor Strange Vol 5 3

Those of you who can hear my call through the stone... I am Doctor Strange. We must have a parley. Imminent danger approaches. I summon a gathering of the Infinity Watch. Earth. Midnight tomorrow in New York's Central Park. I guarantee safe conduct for all. As some of you may know, the Infinity Stones are different than they once were. I don't know why yet -- but we must make sure they're safeguarded. I ask that you come and hear what I have to say. It's critical we six souls safeguard the stones... because we may have only one opportunity to stave off calamity.

—Infinity Countdown Vol 1 5

If you were really me, you'd never take your eyes off your opponent. I see no reason to prolong this. By the Omnipotence of Oshtur -- reveal your true self!

—Doctor Strange Vol 5 6

Would you like to know why I won't let you have Bleecker Street?

—Doctor Strange Vol 5 9

Captain America has the Red Skull. The Fantastic Four have Doctor Doom. I have Dormammu, Lord of the Dark Dimension.

—Doctor Strange Vol 5 11

You maniac! Don't you realize the chaos you've triggered? Despite his power, Galactus is fundamentally a creature of science! To introduce a force that... that alien to the mystic realms is unconscionable! Nothing there follows the laws of existence that he carries with him! His presence there may very well unbalance existence itself!

—Doctor Strange Vol 5 12

Peter. Some things are beyond magic and medicine. Some things can't be avoided... some things just have to be faced.

—Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Vol 2 5

I, Stephen Strange... I will serve as the Herald of Galactus.

Kanna, this is Stephen Strange. If you can hear me, I need your assistance. Can you help?

Bring me to where you saw this creature.

—Contagion Vol 1 2

Zelma, do you think you could still throw a Halloween party?

—Doctor Strange Annual Vol 3 1

My name is Dr. Stephen Strange. As Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, I have a unique and demanding responsibility to protect it from any mystical menaces that may threaten it. But I'm also the world's greatest neurosurgeon, and the Hippocratic oath is a lifetime vow. So I've reached an arrangement with the hospital: They call me in only for the operations that no one else -- no one else -- has the skill to perform.

—Dr. Strange Vol 1 1

Your power upgrade. Where did it come from?

—Dr. Strange Vol 1 2

I... Kamala, a lot of time passed before you arrived. The rate of cell death... I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid there's been permanent damage. I won't know the extent until he wakes up.

—Magnificent Ms. Marvel Vol 1 12

He has returned.

—Savage Avengers Vol 1 0

Toby, I recognize that symbol. It's a sigil of possession from near the dawn of time. Your tattoo is... infected. I can operate... but let's put you to sleep first.

—Dr. Strange Vol 1 3

Eye of Agamotto, show me my enemy!

—Savage Avengers Vol 1 11

Let's just pray this isn't a huge mistake.

—Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality Vol 1 4

Oh, Marc, what have you done?

—Avengers Vol 8 33

Whether it was to save lives or not, you made a deal with a demonic entity -- did you really think that wouldn't come back to haunt you?

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 50

Has anyone ever told you how exhausting you are, madam?

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 51.LR

Tell me, devil-- what is wrong with Peter Parker's soul?

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 60

At almost any point in my life... I would slay you... Perhaps I'm getting wiser. You have a part to play in the natural order, don't you?

—Savage Avengers Vol 1 23

He's afraid of us... because together we are all the colors of his magic! The Defenders aren't a team--we're a living spell!

—Defenders Vol 6 3

This one doesn't like me judging her and is thinking of creatively brutal ways to murder me.

—Bellona (The Sisters) (Earth-616)

Her name is Kushala. The Demon Rider. Like my other companions, she is a Sorcerer Supreme. And like all of them, she is hiding something.

—Kushala (Earth-616)

Her name is Nina. She calls herself The Conjuror. She's Brazilian. A Sorcerer Supreme from the 1950s. And that's all I know about her. But I sense she knows more about The Forgotten than any of us.

—Nina (Sorcerer Supreme) (Earth-616)

I need more power. I want to be able to move worlds and shake them to their foundations. I want enough power in my hands to tear planets from the heavens and place them in a new sky.

—Stephen Strange (Earth-616)

Can you understand the delicate mindset of a woman, a person, who has control over reality? It means reality controls her. Imagination becomes the enemy. Structure disappears. Reality, eventually, as she knows it, starts to slip away. Elude her. Blur. Drama, conflict, tragedy. They become excuses to change the world to fit the image that she has for it. Anything she doesn't like, she can change. No matter how slight. People. Places. Things. Everything is hers to change. But every time she does that, every time she gives in to her desires, no matter how noble they may be... a little more of her slips away. She loses herself. Her reason.

—Wanda Maximoff (Earth-616)

Billy Kaplan has been many things. A Young Avenger. A grown-up Avenger. An X-Man. And apparently in the not too distant future... he replaces me as the Sorcerer Supreme.

—William Kaplan (Earth-13729)

It is even more magnificent than I imagined

—Temple of the Three

By the Vapors of the Great Valtorr which do all things conceal--

—Bolts of Bedevilment

The Fire of Mahkala. Is this your natural state?

—Fire of Mahkala

Vapors of Valtorr -- Swirl 'round thy brow! May the Moon's Mists of Morpheus envelop thee now!

—Mists of Morpheus

May the Shield of the Seraphim protect me!
