Deputy Director Miguel Bowman:

Taylor:
Yeah, it's a myth anyway. It can't be done.

John McClane:
Hey, what's a fire sale?
Matt Farrell:
It's a three-step... it's a three-step systematic attack on the entire national infrastructure. Okay, step one: take out all the transportation. Step two: the financial base and telecoms. Step three: You get rid of all the utilities. Gas, water, electric, nuclear. Pretty much anything that's run by computers which... which today is almost everything. So that's why they call it a fire sale, because everything must go.

Apple Computer Inc. - Quotes

 Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

JC Denton:
Meanwhile, we will be manufacturing a cure to the virus.
Bob Page:
A cure? A cure! Do you have any idea how easy it will be for me to make a new virus? All I have to do is find a very large prime number and multiply.
JC Denton:
And all we have to do is crack the code.
Bob Page:
Mathematically unlikely. As are your chances of leaving the Ocean Lab, by the way.
JC Denton:
You're next, Page. Your greatest strength was secrecy, but now we know everything, including your present location.
Bob Page:
Always the optimist. You would need an army to attack me at Area 51, and pretty soon - if the missile is accurate - your "X-51" will be a thin, gray smudge where Vandenberg used to be.

 Vernon:
I just wish I had my own tropical island, I wish... I wish I was... I could go to China, I wish I could go out of The States... I wish I had my own planet, I wish I... I wish there were 200 of me, man... I wish I could just sit around with computers and just brainstorm all day man. I wish I was born again... I wish I could get saved and get my life through Christ... then maybe he can forgive me for what I did... I wish there was just one belief... my belief.

Michael Crichton - Quotes

 ... we have created a man with not one brain but two. ... This new brain is intended to control the biological brain. ... The patient's biological brain is the peripheral terminal -- the only peripheral terminal -- for the new computer. ... And therefore the patient's biological brain, indeed his whole body, has become a terminal for the new computer. We have created a man who is one single, large, complex computer terminal. The patient is a read-out device for the new computer, and is helpless to control the readout as a TV screen is helpless to control the information presented on it.
