Quotes of the character, from various works

It is time for me to visit the master, from whom all my powers stem…
110 : Dr. Strange : Master of Black Magic, by Stan Lee (July 1963), p. 2
The mystic arts of black magic are older than the memory of man! In time to come, let us peer behind the enchanted veil together!
Statement to the Ancient One, in 111 : Face-to-Face with the Magic of Baron Mordo, by Stan Lee (August 1963), p. 5
I have finally reached my goal! But what inconceivable wonder awaits me now? One star … gleaming more brightly than all the rest, seem to be beckoning me! I have no choice but to follow it … and hope it will lead me to him whom I seek!
138 : If Eternity Should Fail, by Stan Lee (November 1965), p. 2
Every sense … every emotion I possess … is drawing me toward that shimmering light at the end of this fantastic corridor! I have reached my destination at last! But … it is no mere light! It is an actual Universe … in microcosm! A world within a world!

The weariness of a thousand battles sorely oppresses me! I must sleep … that I may thus regain needed strength! For who knows what phantom terrors the morrow may bring? And whatever they be, Dr. Strange must be ready to face them.

Quotes about Doctor Strange
This man reaches the very bottom and then more. … You think, How much more can this guy take? He’s broken, he gets up again, he’s broken — and that’s really what makes him a superhero. A lot of people have asked me, "What makes him a superhero?" That’s really the answer I should have given. It’s not the Cloak of Levitation. It’s not the Eye of Agamotto. It’s about his staying power. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. The guy endures so much.
Benedict Cumberbatch, as quoted in "Doctor Strange: Benedict Cumberbatch on the Sorcerer Supreme's real superpower" by Clark Collis, in Entertainment Weekly (12 August 2016)
