"I plan on being an engineer at NASA, but I can't do that without taking them classes at that all-white high school, and I can't change the color of my skin. So I have no choice, but to be the first, which I can't do without you, sir. Your Honor, out of all the cases you gon' hear today, which one is gon' matter hundred years from now? Which one is gon' make you the first?"

"Based on the untold true story."

"If I said I was sorry, I'd be saying it all day."

"Separate and equal are two different things. Just 'cause it's the way, doesn't make it right, understand?"

"If you act right - you are right. That's for certain."

"Men always feel that they have to fix things for women, but they're not doing anything. Some things just can't be fixed. Just be there, somehow that's hard for all of you."

"Whatever you think your life is going to be like, just know, it's not gonna be anything like that."

"Obviously I have a connection and a fondness for Johnny Cash, and his tone and his message and his music. But the real driver in all these decisions is trying to separate ourselves, in an accurate way, from the other superhero movies. We think we’re going to deliver something a little different and we want to make sure we’re selling audiences on the difference. Sometimes even when a movie’s a little different, the studio’s trying to market the movie just like all the others. [Cash's] music, in a way, separates us from the standard, bombastic, brooding orchestral, swish-bang, doors opening and slamming, explosions kind of methodology of some of these movies. … Hugh and I have been talking about what we would do since we were working on the last one, and for both of us it was this requirement that, to be even interested in doing it, we had to free ourselves from some assumptions that had existed in the past, and be able to change the tone a bit. Not merely to change for change’s sake, but also to make something that’s speaking to the culture now, that’s not just the same style — how many times can they save the world in one way or another? How can we construct a story that’s built more on character and character issues, in a way as if it almost wasn’t a superhero movie, yet it features their powers and struggles and themes? … We are in the future, we have passed the point of the epilogue of Days Of Future Past. We’re finding all these characters in circumstances that are a little more real. The questions of ageing, of loneliness, of where I belong. Am I still useful to the world? I saw it as an opportunity. We’ve seen these characters in action, saving the universe. But what happens when you’re in retirement and that career is over? … I think this movie is about family, and sticking together, and about making connections in a world in which our characters might feel very alone."

"A man has to be what he is. Joey. Can't break the mold. There's no living with the killing. There's no going back. Right or wrong. It's a brand. A brand that sticks. Now you run on home to your mother. You tell her everything's alright. There are no more guns in the valley."

"Gabriela Lopez: [to Logan, in a posthumous recording] They thought we were too poor and stupid to understand. We are poor, yes, but not stupid."

"The goal was not to end mutantkind, but to control it. I realized, we needn't stop perfecting what we eat and drink. That we could use those products to perfect ourselves. To distribute gene therapy discreetly through everything, from sweet drinks to breakfast cereals. And it worked. Random mutantcy went the way of polio."

"[last words, echoing what Pierce said earlier] Beware the light."

"[to Logan] If you are planning to blow your brains out, could you wait 'til you're out on the high seas? I've just mopped these floors."

"Birthday? No birth. María. We do not dress them up for Halloween. We do not call them "baby" or kiss boo-boos. Don't think of them as children. Think of them as things... with patents and copyrights. Comprende?"

""Beware the light". Caliban, I bet that's what your mama told you every day when you was a kid. "Beware the light"..."

"Now, let's not bring out the worst in each other. The girl's not worth it, trust me."
