Annihilation: Silver Surfer Vol 1 2
Quote1 Many have opposed me: First and foremost the Kree champion Captain Mar-Vell. Long dead against his will while I yet live, against mine. There have always been those who would interfere with my goals. My choices. My dreams. Only one thing has ever remained true. My love and devotion to milady Death. And that thing has now been taken from me. I had accomplished my goals! I was at rest in emptiness and something woke me! I was at peace, and something brought me back to pain! ... Again, insects, you ask what am I? What I am is angry. What I am is insane with rage. What I am is...THANOS! Quote2
Thanos Imperative: Ignition Vol 1 1
Quote1 In this universe, the chthonic entities had already begun to extend their unspeakable influence. Mar-Vell's terminal condition caused such distress amongst his peers and the global populations who adored him, something felt the empathic trauma. It felt it, and it responded with an offer to solve the problem. Something beckoned from the cosmic shadows and showed the dying Mar-Vell one simple truth. "Even Death may die." Quote2
Thanos Imperative Vol 1 3
Quote1 Who said I wanted to win, Kree dog? I just wanted you here, close, face-to-face. Do I need to spell it out, flea? Give me what I crave. Give me death! Give me the release of oblivion! And I will give you everything you want in return...my undying lord. Quote2
Thanos Imperative Vol 1 5

Thanos Rising Vol 1 2
Quote1 I've come home. Because I'm tired of running from who I am. From who I was born to be. Quote2
Thanos Rising Vol 1 3
Quote1 They have, finally and for all time, shown the galaxy that they are a swarm of irresponsible, unevolved organisms, that must be put down before they destroy us all. Say goodbye to your home planet, Peter. Once word gets out that they ripped reality... Nothing will save them. And now you know... your father was right. That I, Thanos was right. The Earth needs to be punished. Quote2
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 5
Quote1 Cold. Her kiss... so cold and... Quote2
Thanos Rising Vol 1 5
Quote1 I am failure personified. Quote2
Thanos Annual Vol 1 1
Quote1 At this moment no living thing in the universe will die. Not the lowliest bacteria nor grandest Celestial. While stars collapse and implode, blown to dust all that possesses "life" refuses oblivion. All of it lives on despite its destiny, in defiance of the engine of evolution that culls the weak. All of it, Wilson, but you. I am the only reason you live. And because Thanos decrees it, you will die. Quote2
Deadpool vs. Thanos Vol 1 1
Quote1 Doom has asked you to live on your knees. Every day of this life, he's beaten you as you lie there. What do you do? You Stand up. What time is it, Ben Grimm? What time is it? Quote2
Siege Vol 2 4
Quote1 He says you were a failed experiment... a weakling, a runt, deemed unlikely to survive the rigors of the tests. Doomed from conception and yet you lived. Thrived, even. I... respect that. Quote2
Deadpool vs. Thanos Vol 1 3
Quote1 I came here for my father. I did not come seeking a fight. No one else needed to die today. But if it is a fight you want, it is a fight you shall have. If it is death you want, it is death you shall have. Quote2
Thanos Vol 2 3
Quote1 Earth. That is my price. Quote2
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 4 19
Quote1 I am Thanos of Titan. I have conquered worlds. I have bent reality around my will. Men cower at the mere mention of my name. And now... now you have imprisoned me... mocked me... disrespected me. And here you stand, ready to take advatange to my condition. Ready to finish me. Well, if I am to fall, I will die showing you all that Thanos will not be disrespected. Thanos is still a conqueror. Thanos is still a warrior. Thanos is still a god. And you will either bow or be broken! Quote2
Thanos Vol 2 6
Quote1 So you all allied with my son in a clandestine attempt to assassinate me, and now you want to switch sides, eh? Quote2
Thanos Vol 2 8
Quote1 I endured the God Quarry because I knew exactly who and what I was, Thane. For me, it was merely a trial to overcome. You, however, have never known who you were or what kind of man you were meant to be. You have always been lost. So I would imagine for you it will be a living Hell. Quote2
Thanos Vol 2 12
Quote1 You drag me across the stars to tell jokes?! Face me, you coward! I will kill any who oppose me! Quote2

Quote1 I feel... sorry for him. My brother. His form will not survive the transference. A pity. He was.. not an unworthy ally. Alas... Quote2
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 5 5
Quote1 I am Prime Eternal, and I will be respected. It is a new age. I will set you all free. Not matter what it costs you. Quote2
Eternals Vol 5 7
Quote1 Once more, I return to this place... where a father's love turned to hate. Quote2
Thanos: Death Notes Vol 1 1
Quote1 Here me, Fresno. There is one among you whom I seek. The rest are but chaff. There will be a culling until I find her. Quote2
Thanos Vol 4 1
Quote1 At last. My mistress returns. Quote2
Thanos Vol 4 3
Quote1 Am I not Thanos! Did I not butcher the woman who gave me birth, who force-fed me into this hell called life?! Is not the wake of my passing crimson with the blood of my enemies and allies alike?! Death is with me every second of the day! My every moment is spent in either dealing out death or worshiping it! So tell me, who under the stars is better suited than I to be Death's consort? Quote2
Thanos (Earth-616)
Quote1 Mind! Soul! Reality! Time! Space! Power! So much more than even the Cosmic Cube gave me! All mine! I control it all! The UNIVERSE belongs to ME! Quote2
