The Mad Titan was a force to be reckoned with. He never let anyone or anything stand in his way and with just a snap of his finger, destroyed half of the earth and was also willing to destroy the whole world in the second movie.

Here are some of his most famous quotes that show exactly how unapologetic and unwavering he was.

Thanos quotes Infinity War

  • All that for a drop of blood.
  • You're strong but I could snap my fingers and you would all cease to exist

This is probably one of Thanos best quotes. Not only is it very literal and tells exactly how powerful he is with the infinity gauntlet but it also shows how insignificant the Avengers all are compared to him.
