20 Best Noah Quotes

Noah: You know why I've come?
Methuselah: Yes. Before he walked on, my father Enoch told me that one day, if man continued his ways, The Creator would annihilate this world.
Noah: So what I saw is true? All life blotted out because what man has done? Can it not be averted?
Methuselah: Noah, you must trust that He speaks in a way that you can understand. So you tell me. Can this destruction be averted?
Noah: No.
Methuselah: Oh.
Noah: He sent me here. Why send me if there's nothing I can do to stop it?
Methuselah: Well, perhaps He simply sends you here to share a cup of tea with an old man.

Tubal: I have men at my back, and you stand alone and defy me?
Noah: I'm not alone.

Noah: We have been entrusted with a task much greater than our own desires.

[Noah wakes up from a vision]
Naameh: Did He speak to you?
Noah: I think so.
Naameh: Will He help us?
Noah: He's going to destroy the Earth.

Naameh: How was he?
Noah: A little too interested.

Noah: The time for mercy has passed. Now our punishment begins.

Young: I am Shem.
Noah: My oldest.
Methuselah: Come closer. Let me see you. You're a lucky boy. I think you must have your mother's looks, not your father's.
[winks]

Noah: We are to see Methuselah. My grandfather.
Samyaza: A child of the old one? You should have killed them.
Og: But, Samyaza...
Samyaza: This is a man, Og. Do you forget how they betrayed The Creator?
Noah: It is He who sends us.
Samyaza: It lies. Leave them here to rot.

Noah: We're no different. We were weak and we were selfish to think we could set ourselves apart.

Noah: Soon everything we knew of creation will be gone. All that is left of Creation will lie within these walls. Outside, just the waters of chaos again.

Ila: Will he come back?
Noah: Some things cannot be unbroken.
Ila: I have to know. Why did you spare them?
Noah: I looked down at those two little girls and all I had in my heart was love.
Ila: Then why are you alone, Noah? Why are you separated to your family?
Noah: Because I failed him, and I failed all of you.
Ila: Did you? He chose you for a reason, Noah? He showed you the wickedness of Man and knew you would not look away. And you saw goodness too. The choice was put in your hands because he put it there. He asked you to decide if we were worth saving. And you chose mercy. You chose love. He has given us a second chance. Be a father, be a grandfather. Help us to do better this time. Help us start again.

Tubal: [He moves face-to-face] Miracles of deluge you claim. Perhaps you're right. Perhaps he returns to finish us off. But if he does, my men and I will ride the storm in that stronghold of yours.
Noah: Your time is done. There is no escape for you.
[Noah walks away leading Ham with him]
Tubal: [Loud] I'm not afraid of miracles son of Lamech. If you are to refuse my dozens now, I shall return with legions!

Noah: Ham. What are you doing?
Young: It's pretty.
Noah: You see those other flowers? How they're attached to the ground? That's where they should be. They have a purpose. The sprout. And they bloom. The wind takes their seeds and more flowers grow. We only collect what we can use, and what we need. Do you understand?

[last lines]
Noah: The Creator made Adam in His image, and placed the world in his care. That birthright was passed down to us. To my father, then to me, and to my sons, Shem, Japheth, and Ham. That birthright is now passed to you, our grandchildren.
[touching each baby]
Noah: This will be your work, and your responsibility. So I say to you, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.

Noah: Fire consumes all. Water cleanses. It separates the foul from the pure. The wicked from the innocent. And that which sinks from that which rises. He destroys all, but only to start again.

Naameh: Snakes are coming, too?
Noah: Yeah. All that creeps, all that crawls, all that slithers.

Poacher: What do you want?
Noah: Justice.

Noah: Some things cannot be unbroken.

Tubal: When I heard talk of miracles, I dismissed them. But then I saw the birds with my own eyes, flying here, and I had to come.
Noah: There isn't anything for you here.
Tubal: No? This all belongs to me. This land. This forest. That stronghold of yours. Did you really think you could protect yourself from me in that?
Noah: It's not protection from you.
Tubal: Then what is it?
Noah: An ark to hold the innocent when The Creator sends his deluge to wipe out the wicked from this world.
Tubal: The Creator does not care what happens in this world. Nobody has heard from Him since He marked Cain. We are alone. Orphaned children, cursed to struggle by the sweat of our brow to survive. Damned if I don't do everything it takes to do just that. Damned if I don't take what I want.

Noah: We broke the world - we did this. Man did this. Everything that was beautiful, everything that was good, we shattered. Now, it begins again.
