The Martian

"The only way I survive is if I stay smart."

"I am the greatest botanist on this planet."

"If I die here on Mars, at least I'll die trying."

"That's the thing about exploring—you have to leave what you know behind."

"I think it's going to be hard for you to understand."

"I'm stranded on Mars. I have almost no supplies. But I'm pretty much a badass."

"Everything I have to do, I can do myself."

"In the face of overwhelming odds, I'm left with only one option, I'm gonna have to science the s*** out of this."

"I do love waking up to the sight of my own equipment."

"I'm the greatest botanist on Mars."

"Potatoes. The only crop that can sustain human life on Mars."

"Every human on Earth is in my corner now. And I'm not about to let them down."

"I'm alive. I'm alive and I'm on Mars and I'm going to stay alive."

"You just have to work the problem."

"I'll be honest: I'm terrified. But I'm going to work my way through this one problem at a time."

"I'm in a lot of trouble here. I'm not gonna sugar-coat it."

"At some point, everything's gonna go south on you and you're going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work."

"I'm going to have to science the sh*t out of this."

"I'm pretty much f***ed."

"I'm going to talk about this Martian dust and its properties because it's the most interesting thing in my life."

"Humanity's greatest strength is our ability to adapt."

"If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere."

"I'm not a quitter. I'm a survivor."

"Every problem becomes manageable when you break it into smaller pieces."

"Mars tried to kill me. I refused to cooperate."

"I'm going to engineer my way out of this impossible situation."

"Loneliness is a small price to pay for survival."

"Space is beautiful and deadly. I respect both aspects equally."

"I will achieve this goal: getting home alive."

"Potatoes. Those humble tubers might just save my life."
