Ian Malcolm's 'so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should' became the stock objection to every new technology after 1993. 'It's a UNIX system! I know this!' turned into a programmer in-joke that happens to be accurate -- the on-screen interface was fsn, a real experimental 3D file browser for Silicon Graphics IRIX. And the film's most-quoted line is usually misquoted: on screen it is 'Life, uh, finds a way'.
Big tim, the human piece of toast.

Alan
You married?

I don't believe it. I just don't believe it. I bring you here to protect me from these characters, and the only one I've got on my side is the blood-sucking lawyer.
Hammond
Faster, faster, must go faster!
Ian
God help us; we're in the hands of engineers.
Ian
The complete lack of humility for nature that’s being displayed here is staggering.
Ian Malcolm
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Ian

John
I'm a hacker!

It's a UNIX system! I know this!
