Quotes from the film “Inception” Cobb: What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere. The seed that we planted in this man's mind may change everything. You're asking me for Inception. I hope you do understand the gravity of that request. Cobb: She locked away a secret, deep inside herself, something she once knew to be true... but chose to forget.
