Here are few quotes from works of science fiction which inspired us. Let us know in the comments down below if we missed out on the one that inspires you.
Litany Against Fear – Dune by Frank Herbert
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain”
Jean Luc Picard – Star Trek
“With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.”
Agent K – Men in Black
“Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow.”
The Doctor – Doctor Who
“Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It’s not the time that matters, it’s the person.”
Yoda – Star Wars
“Try not. Do… or do not. There is no try.”
Rose Tyler – Doctor Who
“You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what’s right, even when everyone else just runs away.”
Dominick Cobb – Inception
“What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient… highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it’s almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed – fully understood – that sticks; right in there somewhere.”
Cooper – Interstellar
“We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we’ve just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we’ve barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.”
Morpheus – The Matrix
“I didn’t say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.”
George Orwell – 1984
“Orthodoxy means not thinking–not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”
Robert A. Heinlein – Stranger in a Strange Land
“I never do anything I don’t want to do. Nor does anyone, but in my case I am always aware of it.”
