"What’s the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea."

"You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling."

"Paradoxically, the better the dreamer, the more bizarre the nature of the dream."

"Never recreate places from your memory. Always imagine new places."

"When you’re in a dream, your mind functions more quickly, therefore time seems to feel more slow."

"An idea that is fully formed, fully understood, that sticks; right in there somewhere."

"I bought the airline. It seemed neater."

"I'd hate to see you out of control."

"Okay, here's me planting an idea in your head: I say to you, "Don't think about elephants.""

"Right, but it's not your idea because you know I gave it to you."

"The subject's mind can always trace the genesis of the idea."

"So, once we've made the plant, how do we get out?"

"I'm hoping you have something more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head?"

"And even the smallest seed of an idea can grow."

"It can grow to define or destroy you."

"It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange."

"Ah, no use threatening him in a dream, right, Mal?"
