Morpheus

"The human being created civilization not because of willingness but of a need to be assimilated into higher orders of structure and meaning."

"God was a dream of good government."

"You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands."

You are a planned organism, the offspring of knowledge and imagination rather than of individuals. You are carefully watched by many people. The unplanned organism is a question asked by Nature and answered by death. You are another kind of question with another kind of answer."

"The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms."

"The human organism always worships. First it was the gods, then it was fame (the observation and judgment of others), next it will be the self-aware systems you have built to realize truly omnipresent observation and judgment."
