Jack’s Girlfriend (interpretada por Natalie Portman): Whatever happens in the end, I don’t wanna lose you as my friend.
Jack Whitman (interpretado por Janson Schwartzman): I promise, I will never be your friend. No matter what. Ever.
Jack’s Girlfriend: If we fuck I’m gonna feel like shit tomorrow.
Jack Whitman: That’s okay with me.
Jack’s Girlfriend: I love you. I never hurt you on purpose.
Jack Whitman: I don’t care.
«I’m against nature»
Ben Whishaw interpretando Arthur Rimbaud: «I accept chaos. I don’t know whether it accepts me.»
«Seven simple rules of going into hiding: one, never trust a cop in a raincoat. Two, beware of enthusiasm and of love, both are temporary and quick to sway. Three, if asked if you care about the world’s problems, look deep into the eyes of he who asks, he will never ask you again. Four, never give your real name. Five, if ever asked to look at yourself, don’t. Six, never do anything the person standing in front of you cannot understand. And finally seven, never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.»

on the Matrix
This is cinematic art at its purest.
«This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.»
But the choice between the blue and the red pill is not really a choice between illusion and reality. Of course, the matrix is a machine for fictions, but these are fictions which already structure our reality. If you take away from our reality the symbolic fictions that regulate it, you lose reality itself.
I want a third pill. So what is the third pill?
Definitely not some kind of transcendental pill which enables a fake, fast-food religious experience, but a pill that would enable me to perceive not the reality behind the illusion but the reality in illusion itself.
If something gets too traumatic, too violent, even too filled with enjoyment, it shatters the coordinates of our reality. We have to fictionalise it.

«I never take off my gun belts.»
«ED MILLER: I’ve got six hundred dollars stashed away; I don’t need any governor’s reward.
JESSE JAMES: It’s the principle, too. I’m glad I happened by.»
«DOROTHY EVANS: So you were scared and that’s the only reason?
ROBERT FORD: Yeah. And the reward money.»

«Francamente… nem sei o que vos diga.
Se fosse uma espécie de Papa, que não sou, diria que estais com uma auréola muito estranha. Milagrosa. Porque apesar da chuva e da lama conseguis levantar poeira. Poeira!
Isto mesmo para um não-crente como eu, sobretudo para um não-crente como eu, é milagre!
Mas esperemos que não seja um milagre canonizado. Porque senão teríamos de ter a cada 14 de Agosto uma espécie de Fátima, com peregrinos e garrafões e Tonys Carreiras e quejandos. E não é isso que nós queremos, pois não?!
Então, não façam mais milagres. Não façam mais milagres! Não levantem mais poeira! Levantem lama! LAMA! Pois foi com a lama que se criou o mundo!»
