Quotes

• • Trinity: I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us, Neo. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.
  • Neo: What is the Matrix?
  • Trinity: The answer is out there, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.
