Ebony Maw

"I have lived longer than your civilizations have existed."

"The stone will yield to those worthy of its power."

"I do not threaten—I simply state inevitable fact."

"Your hope is touching, yet fundamentally misplaced."

"To serve the inevitable is to find peace."

"I was not always as I am now."

"The beautiful thing about purpose is its absolute clarity."

"I respect those who resist, even as I crush them."

"Knowledge without power is merely conversation."

"The universe favors those with sufficient will."

"I collect not for greed, but for destiny."

"Your gods have fallen before us. What hope have mortals?"

"To understand is the first step to accepting the inevitable."

"The mind of Ebony Maw cannot be constrained by your limitations."

"I have seen beauty in the void between stars."

"What you call evil, I call evolution."

"The strong and the weak are separated by a single choice."

"My master offers salvation to those who accept their fate."

"I do not seek love, for I have transcended such needs."

"The stone speaks to those who listen with the correct frequency."

"Resistance hardens resolve; it does not break it."

"I am neither kind nor cruel—I am purpose incarnate."

"The universe has taught me that all things are temporary."

"Your adventure ends the moment you refuse to surrender."

"I have studied infinity and emerged unchanged."

"The cosmos rewards those with the will to claim it."

"I find no humor in your desperation, yet I respect your defiance."

"To be immortal is to watch countless flowers bloom and wither."

"The stone is merely an extension of a will far greater than yours."

"I have no fear, for I have transcended all attachments."
