I've been gone and I'm sorry, sorry for what the city has had to endure in my absence. But you did endure it and the evidence of that struggle is lying at my feet. You did not fail this city and I promise I will not fail you by leaving it again.

Your penicillin tea tastes like penicillin.

Felicity: I don't doubt that. I don't doubt that you can beat him, but I'm terrified that you won't kill him because that's not who you are anymore and I am so afraid that Ra's al Ghul is going to use your humanity against you.
Oliver: Felicity, I honestly don't know if I'm a killer anymore, but I do know two things. The first is that whoever I am, I'm someone who will do whatever, whatever it takes to save my sister.
Felicity: And the second thing?
Oliver: I love you.

Oliver: You think you know who Malcolm Merlyn is, but there are things I discovered years ago, recently that... he doesn't love you, Thea, because he's not capable of it.
Thea: Ollie, please. Don't. Don't make me choose between my father and my brother.
Oliver: I won't make you choose. You're my family and there's nothing I won't do to protect you.
Thea: What does that mean?
Oliver: It means I love you, no matter what.

My sister wasn't born a killer. Malcolm Merlyn made her one and I let it happen.

Felicity: Stop! Oliver. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you, but John is right. Thea lied.
Oliver: She lied about Merlyn, but Sara... I don't want to believe she could so something like this.
Felicity: Which is why you shouldn't be the one asking the questions.

Oliver: Felicity! Who killed Sara?
Felicity: You did.

Barry: Hey, by the way.
Oliver: Yeah?
Barry: You were wrong. When you told me I could inspire people you said you couldn't. But you were wrong. You can inspire. Not as The Arrow. That guy's a douche. But as Oliver Queen.
Oliver: Thank you. By the way, you were wrong, too.
Barry: When?
Oliver: Right now. Because you think you can kick my ass. I can tell.
Barry: Well if you think you can kick mine, you better do it fast.
Oliver: I get it Barry, you're fast. Ready!
Barry: Set!

Oliver: You can't expect me to believe that you don't want to know once and for all who would win -- me or you.
Barry: You mean if you don't shoot me in the back?
Oliver: You gotta get over that, Barry.
Barry: OK. I have super powers. You have arrows. That run out.
Oliver: I have strategy and tactical awareness.
Barry: When I'm fighting you, it's literally like you're standing still.
Oliver: It's tough talk, you ready to back it up?
Barry: Oh yeah.

Barry: You tortured that guy.
Oliver: I interrogated him.
Barry: When my friends said that you were a criminal, I defended you because I thought you were supposed to be a hero. I thought we were supposed to be better than them.
Oliver: Barry, you live in Central City, where it's sunny all the time and your enemies get cute nicknames. You're not in Central City. I live in the city where my best friend was murdered. Where a woman I loved was shot full of arrows and sent tumbling off of a rooftop, where my mother was murdered right in front of me, so before you...
Barry: My mother was murdered right in front of me, too. But I don't use my personal tragedies to just torture whoever pisses me off.
Oliver: Well I'm sorry, Barry, but I'm not as emotionally healthy as you are.

Barry: I cannot believe you're a member of the Russian mob.
Oliver: Former member, probably. We has a falling out last year.

Diggle: If this is an ARGUS thing, Lyla's gonna want it to stay that way.
Oliver: Then tell her to stop letting people get killed in my city.
Diggle: You really don't care about my marriage, do you?
Oliver: Well I would, if you and Lyla were still married.

Arrow Quotes

Thea: I missed you so much.
Oliver: You were with me the whole time.

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.
