"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? Yes? No? Could it be 
for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The 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
