Excerpts of classic lines

1. So what's more likely? An all-powerful God created the universe, then decided not to give any proof of His existence? Or that he doesn't exist at all and that we created him so we wouldn'f feel so small and alone.

2. First role in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price. Only, this one can be kept secret.

3. I'm going to travel 26 light years to commit suicide?

4. I 'm going through some kind of a tunnel. ... I must have gone through a wormhole. ... I'm in another wormhole now.

5.No words to describe.

6.None of this is real. when I was unconscious, you downloaded my thoughts, my memories.

7. You are an interesting species, an interesting mix. You are capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone. Only you are not. In all our searching all we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.

8.Small moves.

9. I had an experience. I can't prove it. I can't even explain it. But everything I know as a human being, everything I am tells me it was real. I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever. A vision of the universe that tells us undeniably how tiny and insignificant and how rare and precious we all are. A vision that tells us we belong to something that is greater that ourselves, that none of us are alone. I wish I could share that. I wish that everyone, if even for one moment, could feel that awe and humility and hope. That continues to be my wish.

    3.5 The whole movie unexpectedly lacks the big scenes and action scenes of mainstream American commercial movies. Instead, the focus of the movie is on "feelings". Compared with the vast universe, human beings are small and tall, and we need to go beyond Prejudice, let go of regrets, what's interesting is that the final reunion of the hero and heroine is the embrace of religion and science, transcending narrow atheism, human beings need a common religious experience, the main theme of the United States

    Do aliens really exist? Maybe it has already been discovered, but the public is still deceived.

  • Richard Rank: My coalition's phone lines have been flooded with calls from concerned families, wondering if this message signifies the end of the world or the advent of the rapture. We feel that U.S. policy in this matter wants to be extremely conservative - if there's any chance of danger or threat to our way of life perhaps the message and its contents should simply be disregarded.

  • News Reporters: Reverend Joss! Reverend Joss, what do you believe? What do you believe?

    Palmer Joss: [pause] As a person of faith I'm bound by a different covenant than Doctor Arroway. But our goal is one and the same: the pursuit of Truth. I for one believe her.
