Quotes:
Black Panther – “Bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.” -Erik Killmonger“.
“We will work to be an example of how we as brothers and sisters on this Earth should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.”- King T’Challa

2. Star Wars – “Hope is like the sun, if you only believe in it when you can see it, you’ll never make it through the night” – Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo and Poe Dameron, quoting General Leia Organa.
“Do or do not, there is no try” – Yoda

3. Hunger Games – President Snow. “Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear.”
4. Gen Lock – Dr. Weller’s speech, “Needless aggression, unscrupulous greed, unchecked hate, to have the images headline incessantly thrust at you. Hour after hour, years at a time. You normalize to it. They want you to become indifferent or lose yourself in distractions, for it to feel like the vil in this world and all its machinations are too big to challenge. That loss of control leads to despair, to re-engage, to claw back even the tiniest sense of control. You don’t have to save the world. You just have to make a difference where you can, with the opportunities you are given.”

5. Star Trek – “The prejudices people feel about each other disappear when they get to know each other.” James T. Kirk
“A species that enslaves other beings is hardly superior — mentally or otherwise. Leave bigotry in your quarters; there’s no room for it on the bridge.” James T. Kirk

6. X-Men: First Class – “We are different, but we shouldn’t be trying to fit into society. Society should aspire to be more like us” – Mystique
“Nightcrawler: Outside of the circus most people are afraid of me, but I didn’t hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
Storm: Well I gave up on pity a long time ago.
Nightcrawler: Someone so beautiful should not be so angry.
Storm: Sometimes anger can help you survive.
Nightcrawler: So can faith”

7. “So, as long as you distract your mind from its dreams, it will not know them for what they are. You will always be taken in by the appearance of things, because you will not have grasped their true nature. If dreaming is dangerous, then the cure for it is not to dream less, but to dream more, to dream all the time.”
“To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s. Taking a new step, uttering a new word…is what people fear the most.” -Montag
