Note: While Deadpool has literal millions of great lines, I haven't listed all of them here for three reasons: 1) It would take a lot of space, 2) I don't have either of his Ltd. series, and 3) He's not on X-Force. Therefore, all these quotes either appeared in X-Force, to a member of X-Force, or about a member of X-Force.
