The Flash, Season 4

DeVoe:
Severity of our society's failings require extreme ideas if ever we were to restore some semblance of balance.

Marlize:
[reading from DeVoe's journal] Technology has become a cancerous cell in our social biology. Excising [DeVoe tries and fails to grab the journal] would require a total purge, not only of the material world, but also human consciousness? This is not valance! This is lobotomizing people.

DeVoe:
This is rebooting the masses' brains, to let them forget their technological crutches. They are babies with pacifiers.

Marlize:
How and who will teach them? You, professor? How does any of this help humankind?

DeVoe:
Don't you see? Marlize, our technology is killing us! And you and I, we can fix this, together. [kneels] As partners, we can lead them, all of society, humanity, on the true path to enlightenment.

[Marlize gives DeVoe back the journal and walks out]
