Many people are God, usually in a universe no bigger than their own minds, all-present, all-knowing. And yet, impotent outside the confines of their heads. And what God cannot do, men will attempt.
Patlabor 2: The Movie (1993) dir. Mamoru Oshii
We came here from a dying world. We drift through the universe, from planet to planet, pushed on by the solar winds. We adapt and we survive. The function of life is survival.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) dir. Philip Kaufman

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) dir. Don Siegel
