CBR: In this feature, Brian Cronin from CBR spotlights five scenes/moments from within comic book stories that fit under a specific theme (basically, stuff that happens frequently in comics). Today he examines five instances where Psylocke described her psychic knife as the “focused totality of my telepathic powers.” Enjoy!
After a few near-misses (with phrases similar but not exactly the same), the phrase made its debut in Uncanny X-Men #271… It next popped up in #276…
Then again in #277 (note that both issues were Skrulls posing as Psylocke, but come on, it totally still counts!)…
The final use during Claremont’s first X-Men run occurred in X-Men #1…
The first person to use it other than Claremont was his longtime creative partner, Alan Davis, who broke the phrase out in Excalibur #56…
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Love the list! I honestly thought she said it about 20 more times :D
BTW in case you didn't see it on CBR, as JeanGreyForever, I'd love for you to post the Psylocke shots I took from Marvel Super Hero Squad Onlien.
