Here is the list of the 10 times Loki proved heβs the god of words too:
10. "I am Loki of Asgard..."

In the first episode of season 1, Loki is released in the Gobi Desert after taking the Tesseract during the Avengersβ time heist in Avengers: Endgame. While the startled locals throng around him, he hops on a rock and drops the bomb by stating that
βI am Loki of Asgard. And I am burdened with glorious purpose.β
He still sees himself as a born leader, which confirms that his remarks from his first Avengers movie were true. It shows how Loki believes he is destined for greatness and can be the master of Asgard. It seems that he perceives his ambition as a duty rather than merely a personal desire.
This is interrupted by the Time Variance Authority (TVA), which explains that Ripley is not supposed to be on the squad based on the chronology. As a result of this fight, Loki feels compelled to think deeply about his reason for existing.
9. "The first and most oppressive lie ever uttered was the song of freedom."

Loki responds to Mobius's query by arguing against the idea of freedom. He believes freedom causes confusion and pain, as he stated
βThe first and most oppressive lie ever uttered was the song of freedom.β
In The Avengers, Hydra argued the same thing: that humans desire to be under the control of a strong leader. Loki is expressing his belief that, without control, human actions can only cause disorder. He finds it easier to embrace the idea of controlling others when he calls freedom a falsehood. As the series progresses, Loki encounters the TVA and other characters. As a result, it makes him question his conviction that he has control over his own life.
8. "Love is a dagger..."

In the episode "Lamentis," Loki and Sylvie find themselves on Lamentis-1 and engage in a peaceful conversation on the train. While discussing love, Loki, somewhat inebriated, attempts to explain what it is. He refers to love as a dagger, because it looks beautiful and bright, but could be destructive. Sylvie refutes this metaphor, indicating that it serves little purpose in reality. In this episode, Loki stated,
βLove is a dagger. Itβs a weapon to be wielded far away or up close. You can see yourself in it. Itβs beautiful. Until it makes you bleed.β
Lokiβs metaphor indicates that he has a complicated experience with love. His belief stems from his past, which was filled with incidents in which he trusted someone only to be misled. The message highlights that Loki is vulnerable and finds it difficult to relate to others sincerely. This marks an important step for him and Sylvie, as they begin sharing more with each other.
7. "No one bad is ever truly bad..."

Loki and Mobius discuss the potential identity of the TVA's assailant in the episode The Variant. Having lived through many things, Loki believes that people are not always completely good or bad. This indicates his understanding of the grey areas in our values and how they can change.
βNo one bad is ever truly bad. And no one good is ever truly good.β
This statement reflects the showβs key theme: different characters are shown in their various states of transformation. Loki agrees that humans are complex and can behave either morally or malevolently.
Loki values this insight, as it helps him discover more about his true identity. It also helps us see the connection between Loki and another Loki variant, Sylvie, proving that the road ahead for anyone can change, and redemption can be found.
6. "I donβt want the throne..."

In season 1 episode 6, Loki and Sylvie fight against He Who Remains inside the Citadel at the End of Time. With the situation becoming more intense, Sylvie intends to end He Who Remainsβ life to preserve the integrity of time. Nevertheless, Loki shows his concern for her and asks her to think again. He said,
βI donβt want the throne. I just want you to be okay.β
At this point, Loki demonstrates how much he cares for Sylvie and is willing to sacrifice for her. The phrase emphasizes how Loki has changed from being a cunning person to prioritizing friendships. When he discusses not wanting the throne, he distances himself from what he wanted in the past.
Loki's primary focus is Sylvie, and it highlights his genuine concern and growth. This scenario demonstrates how much they care for one another and Loki's struggle with his past and present.
5. "You ridiculous bureaucrats..."

At the beginning of the series, Loki is taken into custody by the TVA for messing with time. While on trial, he feels caught in a trap and declares angrily.
βYou ridiculous bureaucrats will not dictate how my story ends!β
It is his reaction to being forced by the TVA and not wanting his life to be predetermined. Loki is trying to resist the thought of someone else dictating how his future unfolds. It emphasizes that he prefers to make his own decisions and supports independence. At the same time, the dispute starts his journey to understand that true freedom appears when we realize and accept our place in life.
4. "Trust is for children and dogs..."

Loki and Agent Mobius engage in a Q&A session in the TVA's offices. While talking, Mobius points out that Loki is normally suspicious. Loki responds,
βTrust is for children and dogs. Thereβs only one person you can trust.β
It makes it clear that Loki is extremely doubtful and depends on himself. Because of all the betrayals heβs faced, he is now self-reliant. He is saying that only the gullible or unaware believe in others. It highlights that he is closed off and avoids being friendly with others. As Loki learns more about Mobius and Sylvie throughout the show, he begins to question his beliefs regarding friendship and trust.
3. "I know what kind of God..."

The Temporal Loom malfunctions in the season finale, threatening to bring down the multiverse. Loki realizes he must adopt a bold strategy after concluding that the usual efforts have not been effective. Before facing his fate, he informs his friends of his plans.
βI know what kind of God I need to be for you. For all of us.β
This is the moment when Loki stops serving himself and starts protecting others. When he understands the kind of god he should be, he takes on more responsibilities than seeking his advantages. Without concern for himself, he took the necessary actions to control and strengthen the multiverse. It demonstrates that his success and influence are due to his willingness to contribute and offer assistance to others.
2. "You cannot change your past..."

In the last episode, Loki is forced to deal with the multiverse's collapse due to a Temporal Loom malfunction. He decides to take drastic measures to address the delays after realizing that the conventional approaches are no longer effective. While preparing for his sacrifice, he reviews his role and describes his journey, and states,
βYou cannot change your past, but you can create your future.β
This quotation demonstrates how Loki changed from being egotistical and dishonest to being considerate and helpful to others. Realizing that the past cannot be changed, he points out why we need to shape the future. By doing this, the character confirms his role in saving the multiverse and demonstrates how much he values doing what is right.
1. "We may lose..."

After being imprisoned by the TVA, Loki and Sylvie have a chance to discuss their experiences. Sylvie is unsure if Lokis will always be the side that loses. Loki responds,
βWe may lose. Sometimes painfully. But we donβt die. We survive.β
This highlights Loki's strength and determination. He emphasizes that Lokis have survived numerous hardships and battles. This quote conveys the message that challenges do not have to prevent them from achieving their goals. What truly sets them apart is their ability to endure and adapt to new challenges.
As the story came to an end, Loki described how he had changed significantly. In the end, he cared for the people and the universe, although initially he was ambitious and full of trickery. All of the quotes highlighted various periods in his life, from pain to dreams, regrets, and growth.
Loki survived and became even stronger because of his experiences. People remembered the Los Angeles Riots because his words were true and meaningful. He demonstrated through these quotes that even a God of Mischief can become a hero. You can see in these words that Loki was also a master with words.
