Morpheus, The Matrix

Cquote1

I was the most unfortunate.

I knew that there was no exit out of this maze.

Then, he was the next most unfortunate.

He did not know that there was no exit out of this maze.

But all the rest weren't so unfortunate.

They didn't know that they were in the maze in the first place.

Cquote1

The Editor: Create a climate of fear and it's easy to keep the borders closed. It's just a matter of emphasis - the right word in the right broadcast repeated often enough can destabilise an economy, invent an enemy, change a vote.

The Editor: Well now, there's an interesting point. Is a slave a slave if he doesn't know he's enslaved?

The Doctor: Yes.

The Editor: Oh, I was hoping for a philosophical debate. Is that all I'm gonna get, "Yes"?

The Doctor: Yes.
