Arrival

Dr. Louise Banks: "If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?"
Ian Donnelly: "Maybe I'd say what I felt more often. I... I don't know."

"You know I've had my head tilted up to the stars for as long as I can remember. You know what surprised me the most? It wasn't meeting them. It was meeting you."

"But now I'm not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings. There are days that define your story beyond your life. Like the day they arrived."

Agent Halpern: "We have to consider the idea that our visitors are prodding us to fight among ourselves until only one faction prevails."
Dr. Louise Banks: "There's no evidence of that."
Agent Halpern: "Sure there is. Just grab a history book. The British with India, the German with Rwanda..."

"Well, the cornerstone of civilization isn't language, it's science."

"Language is the foundation of civilization. It is the glue that holds a people together. It is the first weapon drawn in a conflict."

"Non-zero sum game."

Ian Donnelly: "I watched you steering around these communication tracks I didn't even know they existed. I guess, that's why I'm single."
Dr. Louise Banks: "Trust me, you can, uhm, understand communication and still end up single."
