Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

Cypher: Ignorance is bliss.

Morpheus: You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.

Commander Lock: Dammit, Morpheus. Not everyone believes what you believe.
Morpheus: My beliefs do not require them to

Neo: There are only two possible explanations: either no one told me, or no one knows.

Morpheus: ...and after a century of war I remember that which matters most: we are still HERE.

Seraph: You do not truly know someone until you fight them.

Agent Smith: If you can't beat us...join us.

The Architect: Humph. Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness.

Neo: Choice, the problem is choice.

Agent Smith: But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

Merovingian: You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect.

Trinity: Where are you going?
The Keymaker: Another way. Always another way

The Keymaker: I know because I *must* know. It is my purpose. It is the reason I am here. The same reason we are *all* here.

The Keymaker: If one fails, all fail.

Merovingian: What is the reason? Soon the why and the reason are gone and all that matters is the feeling. This is the nature of the universe. We struggle against it, we fight to deny it; but it is of course a lie. Beneath our poised appearance we are completely out of control.

Security Bunker Guard #2: Why? You get paid to count 'em here.

Merovingian: Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without.
