MATRIX QUOTES

Some of my fav dialogues from MATRIX -

Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about I give you the finger … and you give me my phone call?"

"Why do my eyes hurt?"
"You've never used them before."

"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. I'm going to show them a world without rules or controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you."

"I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing … why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know, because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did."

"You have been down there, Neo. You know that road. You know exactly where it ends. And I know that's not where you want to be."

"Neo … nobody has ever done this before.""I know. That's why it's going to work."

"The answer is out there, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to."

"You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth."

"I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."

"I didn't say that it would be easy, Neo. I just said that it would be the truth."

"Don't think you are. Know you are."

"Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? Do you think that's air you're breathing now?"

"Come on! Stop trying to hit me and hit me!"

"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path."

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around. What do you see? Business men, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged, and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. Were you listening to me, Neo, or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?"
"I was—"
"Look again."

"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 humans are 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. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we … we are the cure."

"It means buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye."

"I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss."

"To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human."

"What's really going to bake your noodle later on is: Would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?"

"Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead … only try to realize the truth."
"What truth?"
"There is no spoon."
"There is no spoon?"
"Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself."
