"(Holland and Talho are walking down the corridors, Eureka is running up to them) Eureka: Hey, Holland! Holland: Eureka? Whats wrong? Eureka: Holland, is it true youre a dad? Holland: Uh, no, but pretty soon Im gonna become one. Eureka: Oh, really? How? Holland: Uh, wait, you want to know how? (confused) Yeah, how... (Talho shoulders him, giggling) Eureka: Do humans really need to have a dad around? Dads are really important, arent they? Holland: Hmm, well, I wont know until I become one. Eureka: Oh, so maybe thats why Renton was so aggressive. (Holland and Talho gasp surprisingly) Holland: What? Eureka: Maybe Renton wants to become a dad himself.

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO EUREKA?! (he roughs up all three of them)"

"Thats something you have to decide. What it is you believe in, and what you decide to do with that belief is all your own responsibility. Its up to you whether to ride the waves or to letem die. That is the motto that all lifters live by, isnt it ?"
Eureka Seven"Oh no! Why cant I move the controls? How come? What do I do? Those are missiles! Wait, why wont this move? No way this is happening! Why? Whats going on? No, wait just a minute! This is how my life is gonna end? No way! At 14 its all over? Wait! Wait a minute!"
Eureka Seven"Renton: How long had it been since I left Charles place? Seemed like forever. I kept walking for the promise, the promise of getting to see Eureka. But...but now I couldnt get myself to even walk. And I was beginning to lose sight of the reason why I kept on walking. Sis...maybe, maybe I... (collapses)"
Eureka Seven"Dominic: Looks like we both fell for troublesome ladies. So Renton? Renton: Huh, how do you know my name? Dominic: Dominic. Im Dominic Sorel."

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that theres free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."
"History is a strange experience. The world is quite small now; but history is large and deep. Sometimes you can go much farther by sitting in your own home and reading a book of history, than by getting onto a ship or an airplane and traveling a thousand miles. When you go to Mexico City through space, you find it a sort of cross between modern Madrid and modern Chicago, with additions of its own; but if you go to Mexico City through history, back only 500 years, you will find it as distant as though it were on another planet: inhabited by cultivated barbarians, sensitive and cruel, highly organized and still in the Copper Age, a collection of startling, of unbelievable contrasts."
"As soon as a thought or word becomes a tool, one can dispense with actually ‘thinking’ it, that is, with going through the logical acts involved in verbal formulation of it. As has been pointed out, often and correctly, the advantage of mathematics—the model of all neo-positivistic thinking—lies in just this ‘intellectual economy.’ Complicated logical operations are carried out without actual performance of the intellectual acts upon which the mathematical and logical symbols are based. … Reason … becomes a fetish, a magic entity that is accepted rather than intellectually experienced."
"Our feminist culture at the present moment is completely dependent on capitalism. My grandmother was still scrubbing clothes on the back porch on a washboard!"
"A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all. (23)"
