Quotes from "In Time"

Is it stealing if it's already stolen?

Will Salas: How can you live with yourself watching people die right next to you? 

Sylvia Weis: You don't watch... you close your eyes. 

Philippe Weis: Of course, some think what we have is unfair. The time difference between zones. 
Will Salas: I've heard that. 
Philippe Weis: But, hasn't evolution always been unfair? It's always been survival of the fittest. This is merely Darwinian capitalism. Natural selection. 
Will Salas: Absolutely. The strong survive.

Will Salas: Do you know how much good it could do?

Philippe Weis: Do you know how much harm it could do? Try to understand that even if you gave a year to a million people you're just prolonging their agony.

Sylvia Weis: We're prolonging their lives.

Philippe Weis: Flooding the wrong zone with a million years: it could cripple the system.

Will Salas: Let's hope so.

Sylvia Weis: We're not meant to live like this. We're not meant to live forever. Although I do wonder, father, if you´ve ever lived a day in your life.

Philippe Weis: Is that so? You might have set the balance for a generation... two. But don't fool yourselves, because nothing will change. Because in the end everyone wants to live forever. They all think they have a chance of immortality, even though all the evidence is against it. They all think they will be the exception. But the truth is: For a few to remain immortal, many must die. 

Will Salas: No one should be immortal, if even one person has to die.
