Quotes2

  • Matthias: Mr. Hauser, What is it you want?
  • Doug Quaid: I want to help you.
  • Matthias: That is not the only reason you are here.
  • Doug Quaid: I want to remember.
  • Matthias: Why?
  • Doug Quaid: So I can be myself, be who I was.
  • Matthias: It is each man's quest to find out who he truly is, but the answer to that lies in the present, not in the past. As it is for all of us.
  • Doug Quaid: But the past tells us who we've become.
  • Matthias: The past is a construct of the mind. It blinds us. It fools us into believing it. But the heart wants to live in the present. Look there. You'll find your answer.
  • Matthias: The past is just a mental construct.
