"I think weve had to learn better the idea that the world is governed by a unified set of laws — which we dont yet know. ... physics and chemistry are not separate sciences. And even biology, as strongly influenced as it is by historical accidents — like the shapes of the continents and the fact that a comet may have hit the Earth sixty-five million years ago — biology itself doesnt have independent laws. There is no biological law that says organisms have to evolve to get better. Thats a consequence of natural selection acting on heritable variations. ... The unity of science is something weve learned. I guess you could say we have unlearned the idea that there are separate, independent principles of physics, of chemistry, of biology — all standing at the same level of being equally fundamental."
"Ras al Ghul: In the new world, all peoples will be united, every race, every faith, every creed will find common purpose... our world is not for everyone. Only those who prove their worth will enter it. The rest will be purged... and if nine hundred and ninety-nine must perish for every one who lives... so be it!"
"If man could realize a perfect spiritual unity, no sort of uniformity would be necessary; for the utmost play of diversity would be securely possible on that foundation. If again he could realize a secure, clear, firmly held unity in the principle, a rich, even an unlimited diversity in its application might be possible without any fear of disorder, confusion or strife."
"…we believe that living under the same state should be with the consent of the human groups that make up that state. Just as marriage cannot be maintained by force, state unity cannot be achieved through military force. Marriage can never be achieved or preserved by threats to neighbors."
"Misato: Dont you want to be comfortable? To be restful? Dont you want to become one with us? Body and soul, too... become one."
"All for one, one for all, that is our device, is it not?"
"The utterance of God is a lamp, whose light is these words: Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another in the utmost love and harmony. …So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth."
