What were some John Locke quotes?

Answer 1

Locke: I just don't think 30 dollars are worth getting angry about. Moderator: Well, Francine feels like 30 dollars... Locke: Francine feels a little too much if you ask me. You all do. I mean, seriously: "So-and-so never called me back", "my mother stole 30 dollars from me". I never even knew who my parents were. A couple of years ago, my birth mother found me, and... She told me, I was special! And through her, I met my real father. Great news, right? Well, he pretended to love me just long enough to steal my kidney because he needed a transplant! And then he dropped me back in the world like a piece of trash. Just like he did on the day that I was born! You want your damned 30 dollars back? I want my kidney back!!! Locke: Why do you find it so hard to believe? Jack: Why do you find it so easy? Locke: It's never been easy!! Jack: What the hell was all that about back there, John? Locke: What was what about? Jack: You asked me to let you go. Locke: That's right. Jack: That thing was taking you down the hole and you asked me to let you go. Locke: It wasn't going to hurt me. Jack: No, John, it was going to kill you. Locke: I seriously doubt that. Jack: Look, I need for you -- I need for you to explain to me what the hell's going on inside your head, John. I need to know why you believe that that thing wasn't going to... Locke: I believe that I was being tested. Jack: Tested? Locke: Yeah, tested. Jack: I think... Locke: That's why you and I don't see eye-to-eye sometimes, Jack -- because you're a man of science. Jack: Yeah, and what does that make you? Locke: Me, well, I'm a man of faith. Do you really think all this is an accident -- that we, a group of strangers survived, many of us with just superficial injuries? Do you think we crashed on this place by coincidence -- especially, this place? We were brought here for a purpose, for a reason, all of us. Each one of us was brought here for a reason. Jack: Brought here? And who brought us here, John? Locke: The island. The island brought us here. This is no ordinary place, you've seen that, I know you have. But the island chose you, too, Jack. It's destiny. Jack: Did you talk with Boone about destiny, John? Locke: Boone was a sacrifice that the island demanded. What happened to him at that plane was a part of a chain of events that led us here -- that led us down a path -- that led you and me to this day, to right now. Jack: And where does that path end, John? Locke: The path ends at the hatch. The hatch, Jack -- all of it -- all of it happened so that we could open the hatch. Jack: No, no, we're opening the hatch so that we can survive. Locke: Survival is all relative, Jack. Jack: I don't believe in destiny. Locke: Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet Locke: [Talking to Charlie about a moth cocoon] You see this little hole? This moth's just about to emerge. It's in there right now, struggling. It's digging it's way through the thick hide of the cocoon. Now, I could help it - take my knife, gently widen the opening, and the moth would be free - but it would be too weak to survive. Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it. Locke: They've attacked us, sabotaged us, abducted us, murdered us... We're not the only people on this island and we all know it!
