1- Alan Snyder : Unfortunately, treason is a hard stink to get rid of.
2- Will Bowman : I’m good at finding people.
3- Phyllis : There’s no version of an effective resistance. There’s just misguided idealism that leads to death and despair.
4- Alexander Quayle : War is about making hard choices.
5- Beau : Good work leads to more work.
6- Everett Kynes : When do you pay the price for selling out your whole species? I can’t even blame you. This is what happens when you give large power to small minds.
7- Alan Snyder : I’m doing what anybody with a brain would do in this situation. I’m taking advantage of my opportunities.
8- Katie Bowman : There is absolutely nothing bad about thinking for yourself.
9- Phyllis : That’s our world now, Will. We lie to everyone. We lie to our friends and our colleagues and our family. We lie out of fear. We lie to protect ourselves.
10- Katie Bowman : We live in a moment where we do what we have to do for the people that we love. The old rules just don’t apply.
11- Alexander Quayle : The art of deception is a natural talent.
12- Alan Snyder : The closer we stay to the truth, the less you have to remember.
13- Alan Snyder : This is damage control. Either some of us die, or all of us do. You get the honor of deciding which one of those it’s going to be.
14- Will Bowman : Man can change his name, change the way he looks, but he can’t change who he really is.
15- Alan Snyder : Even the most successful men make two or three critical mistakes in their lives. It’s what they do afterward that defines them.
16- Will Bowman : This isn’t a war we can win. We resist by surviving.
17- Alan Snyder : No one can change our present situation, it’s immovable, so instead, everyone needs to try to appreciate the good things.
18- Will Bowman : It’s easier to work with professionals. They know what they sign up for. So you don’t blame yourself if they take a bullet.

20- Alan Snyder : In this world, loyalty and trust are such critical qualities.
21- Everett Kynes : Opinions change quickly when faced with real adversity.
22- Andrew MacGregor : Revolutions only succeed by remaining pure. Because the human brain is utterly incapable of being both nuanced and passionate at the same time. Either we pull together in the same direction, or we fall apart.
23- Andrew MacGregor : There’s no such thing as a small betrayal.
24- Alan Snyder : I don’t think that order comes from fear. It comes from providing people with a decent quality of life.
25- Alan Snyder : In my experience, you don’t have to work so hard to find problems. They usually come and find you.
26- Everett Kynes : Do you know the difference between intelligence and cunning? Of course not, because if you did, they never would have picked you.
27- Eric Broussard : Men who trust power tend to have short life expectancies.
Beau : I survived 30 years on the job ’cause I didn’t run at bullets!

29- Everett Kynes : The intake is always slow at first. But hope travels fast.
30- Alan Snyder : Occupation hierarchy’s a snake pit. Make one mistake, and you’re dead.
31- Amy Leonard : If you’re gonna be a leader, someone has to whisper dark ideas in your ear.
32- Everett Kynes : The way to control a democratic society isn’t through fear, it’s through distraction.
33- Phyllis : The great mystery of the universe, Will, isn’t where we come from, but where we’re going.
34- Will Bowman : Part of it is probably true. But that’s the problem. You’ll never know which part.
35- Katie Bowman : I’ve learned the hard way to wait for people to prove themselves.
36- Alan Snyder : The most important day in human history is coming, Will. I just want you and your family to be on the right side of it.
37- Will Bowman : When you’re scared, you go back to what you know. Especially if what you know is hot girlfriend.
38- Amy Leonard : At some point, things have to turn around. They have to get better.
39- Katie Bowman : We don’t worry about the big stuff until we fix the small stuff. We put them first.
