"The average person touches their face 2- or 3000 times a day. Three to five times every waking minute. In between, we're touching doorknobs, water fountains, elevator buttons, and each other. Those things become fomites."

"We're working very hard to find out where this virus came from. To treat it and to vaccinate against it if we can. We don't know all of that yet, we just don't know. What we do know, is that in order to become sick you have to first come in contact with a sick person or something that they touched. In order to get scared, all you have to do is to come in contact with a rumor, or the television or the internet. I think what Mr. Krumwiede is uh... is spreading, is far more dangerous than the disease."

"Gwyneth Paltrow - Elizabeth "Beth" Emhoff"

"You know where this comes from, shaking hands? It was a way of showing a stranger you weren't carrying a weapon in the old days. You offered your empty right hand to show that you meant no harm."

"How fast it multiplies depends on a variety of factors. The incubation period, how long a person is contagious. Sometimes people can be contagious without even having symptoms."

"Don't talk to anyone. Don't touch anyone."

"Nothing spreads like fear."

"Someone doesn't have to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that."

"No one is immune to fear."

"I want you to burn me."

"We're already married in the spiritual world."

"I think it's dangerous to play God."

"There is someone there with Sofi's exact iris pattern. The eyes and the brain are connected. If—if the cellular structure in the eye is reoccurring from person to person, then maybe something in the brain carries over as well, like a neurological link. Maybe the eye really is some kind of window to the soul."

"Big ideas can sometimes lead to great motion pictures or, as in the case of I Origins, colossal misfires. A wannabe examination of faith versus science, Mike Cahill's follow-up to Another Earth fails to provide convincing dramatization of his thematic thesis."

"His use of metaphors, especially those involving eyes, is heavy-handed and obvious. (The title being a prime example.)"

"Although the film and the actors keep on looking good, this solemn, soppy, fantasy has nothing to say about science or faith."

"Kashish — Salomina"

"You ever feel like when you met someone, they fill this hole inside of you, and then when they're gone, you feel that space painfully vacant?"

"Cremation is like obliteration. I mean, what if, in the future, the scientists—what if they can reconstitute our selves through our D. N. A.?"

"I'm not religious. … Religion is based on scripture written by men thousands of years ago. Those beliefs can't be changed or challenged. They're fixed."
