- I now hold omnipotence.What should I do with such almightypower?The answer to that is actually quite simple:Anything I want.
Anything. I am incapable oferror.Any result that displeases me I can simply reverse. There isnothingI need to worry on, for I am Thanos. And Thanos is supreme. Supreme god.

Avengers: Infinity War(2018)
[edit]- Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe, but this (laughs) does put a smile on my face.
- To Tony Stark in theInfinity Wartrailer
- I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It’s frightening, turns the legs to jelly. I ask you to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives all the same. And now it's here. Or should I say, I am.
- To Loki, Thor, and the Hulk.
- No resurrections this time.
- After killing Loki.
- Reality is often disappointing. That is, it was. Now, reality can be whatever I want.
- To Gamora after obtaining the reality stone
- Pretty, isn't it? Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
- To a young Gamora
- Little one, it's a simple calculus. This universe is finite, its resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correction.
- To Gamora
- A small price to pay for Salvation.
- to Gamora
- I ignored my destiny once, I cannot do that again, even for you. I'm sorry, little one.
- To Gamora
- It was... and it was beautiful. Titan was like most planets, too many mounds not enough to go around, and when we faced extinction, I offered a solution. Dispassionate; to rich and poor alike, and they called me a mad man. I'm a survivor.
- To Doctor Strange about his home planet
- With all six stones I could simply snap my fingers and it would all cease to exist; and that, I call mercy.
- To Doctor Strange about his plans to use the Stones
- I'll finally rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills.
- To Doctor Strange about his plans after using the Stones
- You're full of tricks, wizard. But you never once used your greatest weapon, a fake.
- To Dr. Strange
- You have my respect, Stark. When I'm done, half of humanity will still be alive. I hope they'll remember you.
- To Tony Stark
- You should have gone for the head.
- After Thor succeeded in throwing Stormbreaker into his chest (before snapping his fingers).
- Today I lost more than you can know. But now is no time to mourn. Now... is no time at all.
- To Scarlet Witch after she killed Vision

[edit]- Gone, reduced to atoms.
- To the Avengers as they confront him

- To the Avengers as they confront him
- Impossible.
- Upon learning the existence of other timelines.
- In all my years of conquest, violence, slaughter, it was never personal. But I'll tell you now, what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet...I'm going to enjoy it. Very, very much.
- To Steve Rogers
- I... am... inevitable
- Several times
- You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me.
- To Tony Stark, Steve Rogers and Thor
- I thought that by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But you have shown me... that's impossible. As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept whatcan be.They will resist.
- I'm thankful... because now... I know what I must do. I will shred this universe down to its last atom and then, with the Stones you've collected for me, create a new one teeming with life that knows not what it's lost... but only what it has been given. A grateful universe.
- They'll never know it... because you won't be alive to tell them
- To Cap after him saying, "Born out of blood"
- I don't even know who you are.
- While battling Scarlet Witch
