We're a world with no single leader. It's impossible to deal with just one of us.
Trust me, you can, uh, understand communication and still end up single.
I forgot how good it felt to be held by you.
Louise Banks: If all I ever gave you was a hammer... Colonel Weber: Everything's a nail...
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.
And remember what happened to the aborigines. A more advanced race nearly wiped 'em out.
Agent Halpern: We have to consider the idea that our visitors are prodding us to fight among ourselves until only one faction prevails. 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...
Despite knowing the journey... and where it leads... I embrace it... and I welcome every moment of it.
You can understand communication and still end up single.
Language is the foundation of civilization, it is the glue that holds the people together, it is the first weapon drawn in a conflict.
If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?
Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it.
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.
Memory is a strange thing. It does not work like I thought it did. We are so bound by time. By its order.
People describe seeing an entity that takes on the form of your worst fears.
I never slept well before in this condition.
If you hear something in the woods, you tell me. if you hear something in the water, you tell me. But under no circumstances are you allowed to take off your blindfold.
Please don't take my children!
Listen to me, we're going on a trip now, it's going to be rough.
