“Why, Mr. Anderson?, Why, why?.
Why do you do it? Why, why get up?.
Why keep fighting?.
Do you believe you're fighting...for something?.
For more than your survival?.
Can you tell me what it is?.
Do you even know?; Is it freedom?, Or truth?.
Perhaps peace?. Could it be for love?
Illusions, Mr. Anderson.
Vagaries of perception.
Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose.
And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although... only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love.
You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson.
You must know it by now, You can't win.
It's pointless to keep fighting.
Why, Mr. Anderson?.
Why?, Why do you persist?.
Agent Smith ( Matrix Revolutions Movie, 2003 ).”

“The computer-simulated dreamworld of the Matrix trilogy is a technological version of Descartes’s evil demon. In essence it represents the idea of a mind (the Architect) more powerful than our own that is intent on deceiving us whenever, and however, it sees fit.”
