NOAH BENNET, Heroes, "Chapter Eighteen 'Brave New World'" (2010)
People aren't as different as we think. We may have different beliefs, but we're all pretty much alike.
SHIRLEY RENFREW PARTRIDGE, The Partridge Family (1970)
In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
ANNE FRANK, The Diary of Anne Frank (1959)
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
ATTICUS FINCH, To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
And our bodies are earth. And our thoughts are clay. And we sleep and eat with death.
PAUL BÄUMER, All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
Humans...they're so fragile. They'll never survive without their technology, no matter how crude. Take that away and they'll devolve back to the animals they really are.
PROFESSOR MILTON FINE, Smallville, "Vessel" (2006)
We suspected that an agreement with humans would prove impossible to maintain. You are erratic, conflicted, disorganized. Every decision is debated, every action questioned, every individual entitled to their own small opinion. You lack harmony, cohesion, greatness. It will be your undoing.
7 OF 9, Star Trek: Voyager, "Scorpion (Part 2)" (1997)
You're not nothing, you're something! You're a person! You're flesh and blood and bones and hair and nails and ears! You're not a fish. You're not a buffalo. You're you! You walk and talk and cry and complain and eat little green pills and send suicide telegrams. No one else does that...no one!
OSCAR MADISON, The Odd Couple (1970)
People need food, they need medical supplies, they need...a shocking amount of pornography!
CHARLIE PACE, Lost, "Flashes Before Your Eyes" (2007)
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 and I realized that you're 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 and 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're a plague and we are the cure.
AGENT SMITH, The Matrix (1999)
