Look, O'Grady -- many of us came to the Avengers with baggage, myself included. Even Scott Lang -- your predecessor -- was a convicted criminal who literally stole his first costume. But just as Steve Rogers once vouched for me, he's vouching for you. That means we accept you. We put our reservations aside and trust that you'll be an asset to the team. You don't need to prowl around the shadows working up the courage to act like a man. You just need to understand that you're now an Avenger -- and that you belong here. Act like the man Rogers thinks you can be.

—I Am an Avenger Vol 1 5

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 2 4

My ex-wife, Crystal, once told me I've spent my whole life running. An obvious and boring metaphor -- but she was right. I never settled in any one place long enough for it to become my home. Left as soon as things got the slightest bit messy. Running from a long list of things that I'm not proud of. Running away from my wife. From my daughter. Focusing on the bigger parts while ignoring my real responsibility. It was never my fault. Always mired in rationalizations. They pushed me. They started it -- I simply finished it. As long as I don't sink to his level, hey, I'm coming out ahead. It was just so easy. I'm his son -- Of course I have his temper. But then Wanda cast that damn spell--And I lost my excuse. Why did I really come here? I said I needed to know the truth. But that's not it. I wanted there to be some grand plot. Some strings I could point to and blame. Anything to keep up the lie. Anything to get my excuses back. But I've been given a second chance. An I'm done running. Every triumph, every failure, I own them all. And while the thought of it is terrifying -- it's also liberating.

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 2 5

Oh, sister... you'll pay for that.

—Scarlet Witch Vol 2 9

I can't leave the city for a minute without something ridiculous happening... this time, some kind of force field covering the island. Hmmmm... no gaps in the surface at all...

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 24

Emily - I've never been a person who looked to religion for guidance. In a world filled with so much strife, God's light has always felt distant and weak. And yet, now I pray. I pray for your future, healthy and strong. I pray that I haven't destroyed your beauty and grace through my selfish actions. Wanda told me I must leave, and for once, I must concede she is correct. I have been a fool and need time and clarity to try and overcome it. There's nothing I can write here that will take back the mistakes I made or undo the hurt I've caused you. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I will endeavor to make myself worthy of such kindness. Until then, you are in my thoughts and prayers. - Pietro

—Uncanny Avengers Vol 3 30

Together. We are stronger. Together. We sacrifice for those in need. Together. We engage the impossible. That is why we are a team. That is what it means to be an Avenger. Fighting together. Now... and... forevermore.

—Avengers Vol 1 688

I'm the fastest man on Earth. But... what if... that's not fast enough?

—Quicksilver: No Surrender Vol 1 1

What I wouldn't give for some crappy super villain speech right now to break this silence.

—Quicksilver: No Surrender Vol 1 2

Just one more, actually. I'm here not to take the title though...This is a personal matter.

—Avengers Unlimited Infinity Comic Vol 1 15

My name is Pietro Maximoff. You may know me better as Quicksilver. Speeches--like waiting--are not my forte. So please consider this a threat. The Avengers have taken your ship. My colleagues are, as we speak, annihilating any of your number they come across. And our Captain America is fighting your Baron Blood. I assume you don't need me to tell you what that means. We're talking about Captain America. A fight with him ends in one way.

—Avengers Vol 9 16

Quicksilver	Named her as his heir?! What about us?!
Scarlet Witch	Now, now. Let's not be quick-tempered, Pietro. Do you really want to be his heir after all he just did to New York?
Quicksilver - (after discovering that Magneto named Polaris his heir)	Oh. Good point.

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 443

Quicksilver	It's a bit big for just five students, though, don't you think?
Giant-Man	I do indeed. Which is why I'm opening our facilities to any young superhuman who wants instruction. Jocasta's been busy recruiting. And this is just the start. Our full-time students will continue to be our focus. But why limit ourselves? Why limit them? Greer, Pietro...welcome to a new era for Avengers Academy!

—Avengers Academy Vol 1 20

Magneto	I am sure my words hurt you. They hurt me as well. I hate having written them. But their truth remains. No matter how cruel. Wanda is safer without you... and I do not believe you deserved resurrection.
Quicksilver	Yes, well. I'd tell you the same.
