Quotes 

• [Charles reads Logan's mind, and appears in the future] 

  Professor X : Charles.

  Charles Xavier : Charles.

  [looks around] 

  Charles Xavier : Is this what becomes of us? Erik was right. Humanity does this to us.

  Professor X : Not if we show them a better path.

  Charles Xavier : You still believe?

  Professor X : Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn't mean they're lost forever. Sometimes, we all need a little help.

  Charles Xavier : I'm not the man I was. I open my mind up and it almost overwhelms me.

  Professor X : You're afraid. And Cerebro knows it.

  Charles Xavier : All those voices... so much PAIN.

  Professor X : It's not their pain you're afraid of. It's yours, Charles. And as frightening as it can be, that pain will make you stronger. If you allow yourself to feel it, embrace it, .it will make you more powerful than you ever imagined. It's the greatest gift we have: to bear their pain without breaking. And it comes from the most human part of us: hope. Charles, we need you to hope again.

• Logan : So I wake up in my younger body, God knows where, and then what?

  Professor X : You'll need to go to my house and find me. Convince me of all this.

  Logan : Won't you be able to read my mind?

  Professor X : I didn't have my powers in 1973. Logan, you're going to have to do for me what I once did for you: lead me, guide me. I was a very different man then. You'll have to be patient with me.

  Logan : [scoffs]  Patience isn't my strongest suit.

  Magneto : You'll need me as well.

  Logan : What?

  Magneto : After Mystique left Charles, she came with me, and I set her on a dangerous path, a darker path. It's going to take the two of us, side by side at a time when we couldn't be further apart.

  [Logan looks at Professor X, who nods] 

  Logan : Great. So where do I find you?

  Magneto : Well, it's complicated...

• Professor X : So many battles waged over the years... and yet, none like this. Are we destined to destroy each other, or can we change each other and unite? Is the future truly set?

• [first lines] 

  Professor X : The future: a dark, desolate world. A world of war, suffering, loss on both sides. Mutants, and the humans who dared to help them, fighting an enemy we cannot defeat. Are we destined down this path, destined to destroy ourselves like so many species before us? Or can we evolve fast enough to change ourselves... change our fate? Is the future truly set?

• Professor X : Mutants, we now find ourselves on the edge of extinction.

• Professor X : What's the last thing you remember?

  Logan : Drowning...

• Professor X : Logan, don't you have a class to teach?

  Logan : A class... to... teach?

  Professor X : Aye, history.

  Logan : History... Well, actually I could use some help with that.

  Professor X : Help with what?

  Logan : Pretty much everything since 1973.

  [Professor then looks at Logan] 

  Logan : I think the history I know is a little bit different.

  [the Professor reads his mind, and understands] 

  Professor X : Welcome back.

  Logan : It's good to see you, Charles. It's good to see all of you.

  Professor X : [smiles]  Well, I had a promise to keep. You and I have a lot of catching up to do.

• Magneto : Charles, are you sure this will work?

  Professor X : I have complete faith in him.

  Magneto : It's not him I'm worried about. It's us. We were younger, more brash. We didn't know any better.

  Professor X : We will now.

• Professor X : Raven was a dear friend of mine...

  Kitty Pryde : What happened?

  [Magneto takes a quick look at the Professor] 

  Professor X : I drove her away.
