Never send a human to do a machine's job.
Agent Smith
We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice.
Agent Smith
Do you believe that, my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? You think that’s air you’re breathing now?
Morpheus
Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
Morpheus
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.
Morpheus
Stop trying to hit me and hit me!
Morpheus
The pill you took is part of a trace program. It's designed to disrupt your input/output carrier signal so we can pinpoint your location.
Morpheus
There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
Morpheus
Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
Morpheus
What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.
Morpheus
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.
Morpheus
(after a drink, he is coughing) Holy shit!
Neo
I know kung fu.
Neo
What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
Neo
Why do my eyes hurt?
Neo
You're cuter than I thought. I can see why she likes you.
Oracle
Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Spoon boy
So what do you need? Besides a miracle.
Tank
Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
