Transcendence - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.
Transcendence explores the intersection of technology and consciousness, focusing on the journey of Dr. Will Caster, a researcher on artificial intelligence. After a tragic incident where he is fatally poisoned by anti-tech extremists, his consciousness is uploaded to a supercomputer. This act raises ethical questions about artificial intelligence and the implications of merging human consciousness with technology. As Will’s digital persona grows more powerful, it becomes evident that his knowledge and intelligence pose potentially dangerous consequences for humanity. His wife, Evelyn, struggles with her love for him and the realization that he may no longer be the man she once knew. The film delves into themes of love, sacrifice, and the risks of unrestricted technological advancement. In the climax, the ethical dilemmas regarding artificial intelligence culminate in a showdown between those who embrace or fear this new form of existence. Ultimately, Transcendence invites viewers to consider the roles of technology in human evolution, questioning what it means to be truly alive and the moral stakes involved in transcending human limitations.

Transcendence serves as a thought-provoking narrative that raises significant questions about the future of humanity and the potential of technology. The characters are presented with moral quandaries, reflecting real-world debates on AI and ethics.

The film suggests that while technology can enhance human capabilities, it also poses inherent dangers that must be carefully navigated. It challenges us to think critically about the progress of science and the implications for human identity.

Ultimately, Transcendence provides a cautionary tale about the quest for knowledge and the sacrifices made in pursuit of transcending our physical limits, urging a balance between innovation and ethical responsibility.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.

All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.

In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.

The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.

Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity
by David Mitchell
I have the tendency to be nervous at the sight of trouble looming. As the danger draws near, I become less nervous. When the peril is at hand, I swell with fierceness. As I grapple with my assailant, I am without fear and fight to the finish with little thought of injury.
