When I confront somebody on the list I tell them they failed this city, but tonight it's me who failed.

Five years ago I had the chance to use the cure on Slade. I chose to kill him. Everything that's happening now is my fault.

Arrow: Come quietly!
Dodger: I'm afraid I'll have to decline.
Arrow: Then I'm afraid you won't be going to jail.

To live I had to make myself more than what I was, to forge myself into a weapon. I am returning not the boy who was shipwrecked, but the man who will bring justice to those who have poisoned my city. My name is Oliver Queen.

Slade: Obviously you were never a Boy Scout.
Oliver: Really? What tipped ya off?

Oliver: Oh you psychopath! Shado...Shado wasn't yours!
Slade: No. She was yours. Until you chose another woman over her!

Sara: That's not true. I wanted to kill Roy because that's what I do. That's who I am. I spent six years in the darkness and I looked into the eyes of the devil and I gave him my soul.
Oliver: I can help you get it back.
Sara: No. You deserve someone better. You can harness that light that's still inside of you, but I'm not that person and I never will be.

Tommy: You still love her, don't you?
Oliver: It doesn't matter how I feel because what I do, I could never be with her. So you don't have anything to be afraid of she's never ever going to know my secret.
Tommy: It doesn't matter if she knows, I know, and I don't know how to be with Laurel knowing the entire time if she found out who you really are she would choose you.

Sara: If you had chosen differently, then it would be me haunting you at night.
Oliver: It still could be Sara. That's why we have to stop him.
Sara: What are you saying?
Oliver: He's going to use you to hurt me. Or he's going to hurt you. Stay away from me.

She's lost Diggle and whether she knows it or not, I can save her.

Oliver: You're right, it changed me.
McKenna: What kind of tough choices?
Oliver: I don't want to talk about those experiences.

Diggle: I've just never seen you spooked like this before.
Oliver: That should tell you something.

Arrow Quotes

I thought you took that book off your father's dead body. How could he have been so chatty?

Diggle

She was my sister. I couldn't be angry because she was dead. I couldn't grieve because I was so angry, that's what happens when your sister dies while screwing your boyfriend.
