Power Quotes in Jurassic Park

How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #7

"… you will recall that the original purpose behind pointing my company in this direction in the first place—was to have freedom from government intervention, anywhere in the world." (4.33.26)

The fact that Hammond needs to be an autonomous power and a law unto himself in order to build Jurassic Park is evidence enough that the project is a bad idea. He's pretty much flying in the face not only of all regulation but also of nature itself.

Quote #8

"The scientists may wish to constrain you. Even to stop you." (4.33.52)

Hammond has more enemies than just lawyers and governments. The scientific community may not be as forceful as law firms and state agencies, but it's a threat nonetheless. If Hammond can get noted scientists like Grant and Sattler on board with the park, he'll have an easier time persuading scientists generally.

Quote #9

"We may lose a couple of dinos before we get the rex out of there, but, believe me, we have the park." (4.41.98)

The way Arnold speaks here almost makes it sound as though he's engaged in a game or a war with the forces of nature. And, truth be told, he is. The humans and the dinosaurs are fighting over territory.
