Summary The Matrix includes many great quotes that reflect the franchise's main themes of destiny vs. free will, or that highlight the characters' ingenuity and endurance. Following the saga of Neo's battle against the machines and their virtual reality known as the Matrix, the franchise's best quotes are often deeply philosophical.
14 "Temporary Constructs Of A Feeble Human Intellect Trying Desperately To Justify An Existence That Is Without Meaning Or Purpose. And All Of Them As Artificial As The Matrix Itself." Said By Agent Smith | The Matrix Revolutions Close Much of what Smith says in the later movies is considered somewhat meaningless, yet his final argument against Neo's ideology of freedom touches upon some strong themes.
10 "You Always Told Me To Stay Off The Freeway." Said By Trinity | The Matrix Reloaded Close Right before the movie heads into the famous freeway chase, it ups the stakes with a perfect exchange between Morpheus and Trinity establishing the danger of driving on the freeway:"Then let us hope that I was wrong."
7 "What's Really Going To Bake Your Noodle Later On Is, Would You Still Have Broken It If I Hadn't Said Anything?" Said By The Oracle | The Matrix Close The Oracle says a lot of confusing things. However, one of her best lines is where she is completely upfront about the fact that she is, to an extent, messing with Neo.
4 "Human Beings Are A Disease, A Cancer Of This Planet. You're A Plague, And We Are The Cure." Said By Agent Smith | The Matrix Close To an extent, Smith rambling on throughout the franchise about how none of the characters have any choice or freedom does rattle the heroes, mainly because they are already asking these questions. However, Smith's best argument is not about "inevitability" but what it is that brought them there.
