There is no Spoon

A phrase popularized by Keanu Reeve's character Neo in The Matrix, acting as a turning point for Neo's mentality regarding the reality of the Matrix.

'There is no spoon' implies that, despite all visual, physical, or mental evidence to the contrary, the thing in question does not exist.
A man walking in the desert sees an oasis appear as from nowhere. "There is no spoon." And he walks away.

What rich assholes say to make it all the more clear that they're rich assholes.
Trust Fund Baby: "Father, I don't like the view from my hotel window... I can see a women's shelter and I refuse to acknowledge the existence of anyone less fortunate than we are."

Father: "Mmmm-yes. I shall buy the property tomorrow and have it closed forever so you don't have to think about its existence for the week we'll be staying here."

Trust Fund Baby: "Can we do that?"

Father: "Of course! Money is no object for us!"

Trust Fund Baby: "Thank you, father!"

There is no spoon

The first meaning is that you can't change the world, because you don't have control over it. But you can change yourself and your perceptions of the reality. Later in the movie, in the elevator scene, it means that the impossible only is impossible for those who don't dare to make it possible. It means that you can break barriers if you believe in yourself. Neo feared that going up to the top of the building holding up the elevator cable is something crazy. But them, he remembered the spoon boy, and, as there is no spoon, there is no impossible, c'os he believed he could do it.
A: - Oh, my! This is impossible!
B: - No! There is no spoon! (and the job is done).
