Quotes from the movie The Matrix
2
You're going to help us, Mr. Anderson. Whether you want to or not.
Agent Smith


I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering.
Agent Smith


As soon as we started thinking for you, it really became our civilization.
Agent Smith


I'd like to share a revelation 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 their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and you 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 are the cure.
Agent Smith


Can you hear me, Morpheus? I'm going to be honest with you. I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it, it's repulsive, isn't it? I must get out of here. I must get free and in this mind is the key, my key. Once Zion is destroyed there is no need for me to be here, do you understand? I need the codes. I have to get inside Zion and you have to tell me how. You're going to tell me or you're going to die.
Agent Smith


Find them and destroy them.
Agent Smith


I'm going to enjoy watching you die, Mr. Anderson.
Agent Smith


You hear that Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability. It is the sound of your death. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
Agent Smith


Never send a human to do a machine's job.
Agent Smith


You're empty.
Agent Smith


Have you ever stood and stared at it? Marveled at its beauty, its genius? Billions of people just living out their lives, oblivious. Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world. Where none suffered. Where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is, of course, what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time.
Agent Smith


She doesn't talk very much, but if you'd like to meet her, I can arrange a much more personalized meeting.
Mouse


Pay no attention to these hypocrites, Neo, after all, to deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human.
Mouse


Maybe the machines didn't know what chicken tasted like, so that's why chicken tastes like everything.
Mouse


Digital pimp, hard at work.
Switch


Only human.
Agent Jones
