Flash. We should probably talk.

—Venom: Space Knight Vol 1 3

I wasn't always a good guy. But people can change. I changed. And you know what? It was fun while it lasted.

—Venom: Space Knight Vol 1 5

This... this is who we really are. What we really are. Agents of death. Not the cosmos. You've never been good. You've never been selfless. You've never been kind. You've always been venom. Now it's time to accept your fate... and achieve your true potential. Flash Thompson is dead. Long live Venom.

—Venom: Space Knight Vol 1 8

Forget the darts and the knives. You want to kill Spider-Man? Do something he won't expect. Next time... try a gun.

—Deadpool: Back in Black Vol 1 4

Though we are a benevolent species, there is no literature on my home planet. And though it is our goal to make the universe better, we create no art, no music, no culture. At least, not as other civilizations would understand it. All we have are our hosts -- the beings we join with -- to forge through the cold and unforgiving cosmos with. The bond between a symbiote and its host is sacred. They give our lives context and our existence meaning. They give us history. All we have are our hosts to tell us who we are.

—Venom Vol 3 3

Important place, Eddie. Bonded forever. No one will break that bond.

Changed my mind about her, Eddie. Like Liz, now. Like fat doctor. Understand it doesn't have to just be me and you. Understand... family.

—Venom Vol 1 165

They are saying "God... God is coming."

—Venom Vol 4 1

Again we have been hurt. Again we have been caged. Our only friend has been torn from us. The friend hates us now. The friend thinks he is done with us. But we are not done with him.

—Amazing Spider-Man Annual Vol 4 1

I should have told you... I love you, Eddie.

—Venom Vol 4 6

It's okay, there is no birth without screaming. Let it become you. Let us heal you.

—Venom Vol 4 11

Trying... to... be... better... both... of... you... better... without... me...

—Venom Vol 4 12

Knull! He's... awake. He is free. And he is coming, Eddie. For all of us. For everything. God... God help us all.

—Absolute Carnage Vol 1 5

That suit was modified specifically to kill my kind... Eddie... who is trying to kill us?

—Free Comic Book Day 2020 (Spider-Man/Venom) Vol 1 1

They are speaking to you in our ancient tongue, Eddie. Because you... you defeated the Void. You freed our kind. You are the hive-mind now... Eddie... you... are the God of the Symbiotes... You are the King in Black.

—King in Black Vol 1 5

I can feel it. Your desires, your thoughts: "No killing, Venom. No breaking bones. No teeth. No claws. No tearing flesh." And yet, when we bonded, Dylan, something changed. I am... different... unleashed somehow... because of something within you. But you're turning away from it, locking it up in some dark corner because you're afraid... afraid of who we really are. Afraid that it means you're going to walk a road just as lonely as your dad's. You know my name, boy. You know its meaning, deep within your bones. I am strife. I am glorious war. Wherever I go, the battle shall follow, like a shadow you cast over all those you hold dear and close. Your father knew this.

—Venom Vol 5 6

Is he not my child? Is he not exactly like me? When I enter a life... do I not end it?

—Venom Vol 5 32

All at once... I know. The only thing Lee ever gifted me... pain.

—Venom Vol 5 34

The Black Suit's not about freedom to be yourself. You don't even know who that is. It's about reliving the moment when you were us... when you had power and authority and were utterly free of guilt. And that's why I'm here today, Peter. To offer that back to you, one last time.

—Spider-Man: Black Suit and Blood Vol 1 1

Been to many worlds, but none of them this strange. Understood feelings before, but simple feelings - like colors, bold and bright. Happy. Sad. Angry. Then... met Spider-Man. Feelings got complicated. Learned guilt. Also the first time I felt fear. Felt agony. Learned feeling: Betrayal. Learned first words they called me. Monster. Parasite. Bad.[...] Feels good to be a hero. Did bad things, too. Can't deny. Mac Gargan was bad. Thoughts like poison stingers. It was a thrill to kill. Knew it was bad. Didn't care. Gargan made it easy. Got to punish Gargan for what he did. He was evil and afraid. Lee Price was not afraid. He was a soldier. Hurt and desperate. I trusted him. Talked to him. But Lee was too strong. Didn't want to talk. Didn't want to be a hero. Wanted power. Couldn't stop the bad things he was doing. Lee was bad. Hurt me. Eddie hurts me too, sometimes, but Eddie is different. Eddie never means to.[...] If Eddie is good, why do we disagree? If disagree... am I a monster? Parasite? Bad? Can't be bad. Wasn't bad with Flash. Fought with heroes. Was a hero. Trained another symbiote. Got to learn. Got to teach. Flash called me partner. Was never afraid like Spider-Man. But Flash is gone... and heroes don't hide. Not from anything... especially their mistakes.

—Symbiotes

Old traces, fermented in rotted blood. Discarded symbiote cells, stirred to an unholy life. A zombie symbiote. A zombiote.

—Zombiotes
