The Master (2012 film)

"My daughter's getting married, come join us! Leave your worries for awhile, they will still be there you get back, and your memories aren't invited."

"Marriage, previous to The Cause, was awful. Awful. There's a cycle, like life. Birth, excitement, growth, decay. Death. Now... now. How about this? Here comes, a large dragon. Teeth! Blood dripping! Red eyes! What do I got? A lasso. And I whip it up, I wrap it around its neck, and I wrestle! Wrestle! Wrestle him to the ground. I snap up, I say "Sit, dragon!" Dragon sits. I say "Stay!", dragon stays. Now it's got a leash on. Take it for a walk. And that's what-where we're at with it now. It stays on command. Next we're gonna teach it to roll over and play dead."

"Free winds and no tyranny for you, Freddie, sailor of the seas. You pay no rent, free to go where you please. Then go, go to that landless latitude and good luck. If you figure a way to live without serving a master, any master, then let the rest of us know, will you? For you'd be the first person in the history of the world."

"Man is not an animal. We are not a part of the animal kingdom. We sit far above that crown, perched as spirits, not beasts. I have unlocked and discovered a secret to living in these bodies that we hold."

"If you leave me now, in the next life you will be my sworn enemy. And I will show you no mercy."

"What a horrible young man you are. This is acting like an animal. A dirty animal that eats Its own feces when hungry."

"When we're in love we experience pleasure, and extreme pain."

"If you figure a way to live without serving a master, any master, then let the rest of us know, will you? For you’d be the first person in the history of the world"

"[to Clark] I was on a ship that got 13 battle stars and won the war. What'd you do, dummy?"

"And this is where we are at. At the lowest level. To have to explain ourselves, for what? For what we do, we have to grovel? The only way to defend ourselves is to attack. If we don't do that we will lose every battle that we are engaged in. We will never dominate our environment the way we should unless we attack! And the city, city's just noise. I know the city. I know its rotten secrets, its filthy lies and secrets. They... invited us here and welcomed us. Only to throw us down. And kick us out. It's a grim joke."

"This is something you do for a billion years or not at all. This isn't fashion."

"[about Lancaster Dodd] He's making all of this up as he goes along. You don't see that?"
