Police officer (Dominique Bettenfeld):
He talks about the myth of Olympus, Greek athletes who combined mind & body. He refers a lot to the Olympic Games of 1936, when German athletes fueled Nazi propaganda.

George Bailey (James Stewart):
I'm shakin' the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm gonna see the world. Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum. Then, I'm comin' back here to go to college and see what they know. And then I'm gonna build things. I'm gonna build airfields, I'm gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high, I'm gonna build bridges a mile long...
Science officer Chantilas (Terence Stamp) and the ship’s janitor, Gallagher (Val Kilmer), engage in a little spiritual soul searching early in the trip:
Dr. Bud Chantilas (Terence Stamp):
“Say we didn’t try [going to Mars, saving mankind]. We just finished poisoning the Earth, and everyone was dead in a hundred years. Then what was the point of any of it? Art, beauty—all gone. The Greeks. The Constitution. We’ve been dying for freedom, ideas. None of it meant anything? And what about religion? Do we give up on God, too?”
Robby Gallagher (Val Kilmer):
“You didn’t just give up being a scientist one day, did you?”
Dr. Bud Chantilas (Terence Stamp):
“I realized science couldn’t answer any of the really interesting questions. So I turned to philosophy. Been searching for God ever since.”

Jack Mitchelson (Eddie Cibrian):
It's not your fault!
You had no way of knowing that he was your brother.
It's like A Greek tragedy!
When I think about it it breaks my heart
Merrill Hess (Joaquin Phoenix):
"This crop staff is about a bunch of nerds who never had a girlfriend in their lives. They’re like 30 & they work up little codes, analyze Greek mythology, make up secret societies were other guys who never had girlfriends before can join in. They do stupid crap like this to feel special. It’s a scam. Nerds were doing it 25 years ago, new nerds are doing it now".
You know your ancient Greeks? They understood that war is a god. A god that requires human sacrifice. And in exchange, war gives man purpose. Meaning. A chance to rise above his petty mortal little self. And be courageous. Noble. Better.
Diana Prince (Gal Gadot):
Only one of the many gods believed in that. And he was wrong.
General Erich Ludendorff (Danny Huston):
You know nothing of the gods.
