Jack Quotes

I wonder, if I come to you, at night - in dreams, in the day - as memories. Do I haunt your hours the way you haunted mine? And I wonder if you see me, when you look at her.

If we have souls, they are made of the love we share... undimmed by time and bound by death.

Is it possible to miss a place you've never been? To mourn a time you never lived?

The questions I ask - she doesn't, the things I wonder about - she won't.

Jack Harper: What?
Julia: That object was the Tet, Jack. The Tet was our mission.

Julia: Those memories are yours, Jack. They're ours. They are you.

60 years ago, Earth was attacked. We won the war, but they destroyed half the planet. Everyone's been evacuated. Nothing human remains. We're here for drone repair. We're the "mop-up crew".

What aren't you telling me? WHO ARE YOU?

If we have souls, they're made of the love we share. Undimmed by time, unbound by death.

Buck up, Bob. Don't go all shaky on me.

Earth, before the war. New York, before I was born. A place I've only seen pictures of. I know you... But we've never met. I'm with you... But I don't know your name. I know I'm dreaming. But it feels like more than that. It feels like a memory. How can that be?

I can't shake the feeling, that earth, inspite of all that's happened, earth is still my home.

For three years I searched for the house he built. I knew it had to be out there. Because I know him. I am him. I am Jack Harper, and I'm home.

Dream of us.
