Caesar: I'm the one they're looking for.
MacDonald: I never believed it. I thought you were a myth.
Caesar: They won't learn to be kind until we force them to. We can't do that until we are free...by the only means left to us - revolution. We cannot be free until we have power. How else can we achieve it?

MacDonald: Caesar! Caesar, this is not how it was to be!
Caesar: In your view or mine?
MacDonald: Violence prolongs hate, hate prolongs violence. By what right are you spilling blood?
Caesar: By the slave's right to punish his persecutors.
MacDonald: Caesar, I, a descendant of slaves, am asking you to show humanity!
Caesar: But I was not born human.
MacDonald: I know. The child of the evolved apes.
Caesar: Whose children shall rule the Earth.
MacDonald: For better or for worse?
Caesar: Do you think it could be worse?
MacDonald: Do you think this riot will win freedom for all your kind? By tomorrow--
Caesar: By tomorrow, it will be too late! What if a tiny, mindless insect like the emperor moth can communicate with another over a distance of eighty miles?
MacDonald: An emperor ape might do slightly better?
Caesar: Slightly?! What you have seen here today, apes on the five continents will be imitating tomorrow!
MacDonald: With knives against guns?! With kerosene cans against flamethrowers?!
