• Anri Berton, pilot : Knowledge is only valid when it's based on morality.

  Kris Kelvin : Man is the one who renders science moral or immoral. Remember Hiroshima?

  Anri Berton, pilot : Then don't make science immoral.

  Anri Berton, pilot : You want to destroy that which we are presently incapable of understanding? Forgive me but am not advocate of knowledge at any price.

• Anri Berton, pilot : He's an accountant, not a scientist. You were right.

  Nik Kelvin, otets Krisa Kelvina : You and I are friends, but that doesn't mean you can say that about him.

  Anri Berton, pilot : Great. You and I have known each other for 20 years. It had to end someday.

• Professor Messendzher : What we're talking about is far more serious than just the study of Solaristics. We're talking about the boundaries of human knowledge. Don't you think that by establishing artificial barriers we deliver a blow to the idea of limitless thought? By limiting our movement forward, we facilitate moving backwards.

  Anri Berton, pilot : I nevertheless repeat my question. What do you mean by saying the report of my observations in almost no way corresponds with reality? I saw everything with my own eyes. What do you mean by "almost"?
