"People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as (myself). As a man, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed; but as a symbol... as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting."
"What symbol?"
"Something elemental, something terrifying."
"I assume that as you're taking on the underworld, this symbol is a persona to protect those you care about from reprisals."
"You're thinking about Rachel?"
"Actually, sir, I was thinking of myself."

Batman Begins ?

"You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your f**kin' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say f**k that thing! Let's fight it!"

"Defy it, Eddie. You made it real. You can make it unreal. If you love me... If you love me, Eddie, DEFY IT!"
Hint:

"What dignifies the Yogic practices is that the belief system itself is not truly religious. There is no Buddhist God per se. It is the Self, the individual Mind, that contains immortality and ultimate truth.

What the hell is not religious about that? You've simply replaced God with the Original Self.

Yes, but we've localized it. Now I know where the Self is. It's in our own minds. It's a form of human energy. Our atoms are six billion years old. We've got six billion years of memory in our minds."
