I went hunting for the "multitude of drops" line that I love from Cloud Atlas that is spoken when, towards the end, one of the characters turns his back on the pro-slavery order and becomes an abolitionist.
Found a number of beautiful lines from the book's author that makes me want to read the actual book:

At any rate, the movie line goes something like:
“My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?”
