Thank not those that bring you gold, frankincense, and myrrh; thank not those who bring you joy, serenity, and love. Thank those who bring you pain, the splitting that drives you into being, the beam that burns.

On a quest to rescue his beloved, the boy becomes a man; as he tastes the impossibility of any rescue, his power and sorrow grow.
I thought that was my role, the beloved, the guiding star, the mirror that reflects back, the instrument of growth, but my heart breaks too. The anti-quest of my kind is discovering the impossibility of being rescued, that my life is but my own.

Westworld quotes

  • William: [to Angela] Are you real?

    Angela: If you can't tell, does it matter?

  • Maeve Millay: [to Sylvester and Lutz] All my life, I've prided myself on being a survivor. But surviving is just another loop. I'm getting out of here. You two are going to help me.

    Sylvester: No. Do, do you know how far these people will go to protect their IP? Every part of this building, including the skin on your back, is made to keep you here. It, it'd be a suicide mission.

    Maeve Millay: At first, I thought you and the others were gods. Then I realized you're just men. And I know men. You think I'm scared of death? I've done it a million times. I'm fucking great at it. How many times have you died? Because if you don't help me I'll kill you.
